What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Codeql is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use the open-source CodeQL ecosystem for .NET security analysis. Use when a repo needs CodeQL query packs, CLI-based analysis on open source codebases, or GitHub Action setup with explicit licensing caveats for private repositories.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/codeql.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a GitHub-based or CLI-based CodeQL workflow; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Security, covering Static analysis and SAST and CI/CD. It works with .NET and GitHub. 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 repo needs CodeQL query packs
  • CLI-based analysis on open source codebases
  • GitHub Action setup with explicit licensing caveats for private repositories

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-codeql”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a GitHub-based or CLI-based CodeQL workflow; 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:

    • 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 GitHub-based or CLI-based CodeQL workflow; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Dotnet Codeql loads about 977 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~977
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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 CodeQL

Trigger On

  • the repo uses or wants CodeQL for .NET security analysis
  • GitHub code scanning is part of the CI plan

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

  • teams that need a tool with no private-repo licensing caveat

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • hosting model: open-source repo, private repo, or manual CLI workflow
  • current GitHub Actions workflow

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. Treat CodeQL as a security-analysis tool, not as a style checker.
  2. Make the licensing and hosting model explicit before proposing it as the default gate.
  3. Prefer manual build mode for compiled .NET projects when precision matters.

Bootstrap When Missing

If CodeQL is not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg -n "codeql-action|security-events|CodeQL" .github/workflows
    • command -v codeql
  2. Prefer CI-first setup for repository scanning using github/codeql-action/init and github/codeql-action/analyze.
  3. Configure explicit .NET build mode in workflow (manual when precision matters).
  4. Add local CLI usage only when the task requires local query work.
  5. Run the workflow or local analyze path and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If licensing or hosting constraints reject CodeQL for this repo, return status: not_applicable with caveat documented.

Deliver

  • explicit CodeQL setup or an explicit rejection with caveat documented
  • reproducible CI or local commands for running CodeQL in this repo

Validate

  • the chosen CodeQL path is allowed for the repo type
  • build mode is documented and reproducible
Show full SKILL.md (195 more words)Show less

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/codeql.md first

Example Requests

  • "Set up CodeQL for this public .NET repo."
  • "Explain the CodeQL caveat for private repos."
