What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Complexity is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use free built-in .NET maintainability analyzers and code metrics configuration to find overly complex methods and coupled code. Use when a repo needs cyclomatic complexity checks, maintainability thresholds, or complexity-driven refactoring gates.

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/complexity.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. 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 repo needs cyclomatic complexity checks
  • Maintainability thresholds
  • Complexity-driven refactoring gates

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-complexity”

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:

    • rg
    • dotnet

    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 Complexity loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
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
~1.7k

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 Complexity

Trigger On

  • the team wants to find overly complex methods
  • cyclomatic complexity thresholds are needed in CI
  • maintainability metrics or coupling thresholds need to be configured

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

  • formatting-only work
  • generic analyzer setup with no complexity policy change

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current analyzer settings
  • current maintainability limits

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 the built-in maintainability analyzers before reaching for non-standard tooling.
  2. Use these rules deliberately:
    • CA1502 for excessive cyclomatic complexity in methods
    • CA1505 for low maintainability index
    • CA1506 for excessive class coupling
    • CA1501 when inheritance depth is also part of the design problem
  3. Keep rule severity in the root .editorconfig.
  4. Keep metric thresholds in a checked-in CodeMetricsConfig.txt added as AdditionalFiles.
  5. Pair analyzer findings with MCAF maintainability limits in AGENTS.md.

Bootstrap When Missing

If complexity thresholds are not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg -n "CA1501|CA1502|CA1505|CA1506|CodeMetricsConfig" -g '.editorconfig' -g '*.csproj' -g 'Directory.Build.*' .
    • rg --files -g 'CodeMetricsConfig.txt'
  2. Add severity entries for CA1502, CA1505, CA1506, and CA1501 in root .editorconfig.
  3. Add checked-in CodeMetricsConfig.txt and include it as AdditionalFiles in project props.
  4. Keep maintainability limits aligned with AGENTS.md.
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If policy relies only on AGENTS.md limits with no analyzer gate by design, return status: not_applicable.

Deliver

  • explicit complexity and maintainability policy
  • checked-in metric thresholds
  • CI commands that surface complex methods early

Validate

  • method-complexity checks are enabled where the repo wants them
  • thresholds are versioned in repo, not held in IDE memory
  • complexity findings map to real refactoring decisions

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/complexity.md first

Example Requests

  • "Which analyzer finds complex methods in .NET?"
  • "Add a complexity gate for our C# code."
  • "Configure cyclomatic complexity thresholds."
