What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Code Analysis is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use the free built-in .NET SDK analyzers and analysis levels. Use when a .NET repo needs first-party code analysis, EnableNETAnalyzers, AnalysisLevel, or warning policy wired into build and CI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/code-analysis.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A .NET repo needs first-party code analysis
  • EnableNETAnalyzers
  • Warning policy wired into build and CI

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-code-analysis”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet
    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Dotnet Code Analysis loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 512 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MCAF: .NET Code Analysis

Trigger On

  • the repo wants first-party .NET analyzers
  • CI should fail on analyzer warnings
  • the team needs AnalysisLevel or AnalysisMode guidance

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • third-party analyzer selection by itself
  • formatting-only work

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • project files or Directory.Build.props
  • current analyzer severity policy

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Start with SDK analyzers before adding third-party packages.
  2. Enable or document:
    • EnableNETAnalyzers
    • AnalysisLevel
    • AnalysisMode
    • warning policy such as TreatWarningsAsErrors
  3. Keep per-rule severity in the repo-root .editorconfig.
  4. Use dotnet build as the analyzer execution gate in CI.
  5. Add third-party analyzers only for real gaps that first-party rules do not cover.

Bootstrap When Missing

If first-party .NET code analysis is requested but not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • dotnet --info
    • rg -n "EnableNETAnalyzers|AnalysisLevel|AnalysisMode|TreatWarningsAsErrors" -g '*.csproj' -g 'Directory.Build.*' .
  2. Treat SDK analyzers as built-in functionality, not as a separate third-party install path.
  3. Enable the needed properties in the solution's MSBuild config, typically in Directory.Build.props or the target project file:
    • EnableNETAnalyzers
    • AnalysisLevel
    • AnalysisMode when needed
    • warning policy such as TreatWarningsAsErrors
  4. Keep rule-level severity in the repo-root .editorconfig.
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo intentionally defers analyzer policy to another documented build layer, return status: not_applicable.

Deliver

  • first-party analyzer policy that is explicit and reviewable
  • build-time analyzer execution for CI

Validate

  • analyzer behavior is driven by repo config, not IDE defaults
  • CI can reproduce the same warnings and errors locally

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/code-analysis.md first

Example Requests

  • "Turn on built-in .NET analyzers."
  • "Make analyzer warnings fail the build."
  • "Set the right AnalysisLevel for this repo."
