What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Csharpier is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use the open-source free CSharpier formatter for C and XML. Use when a .NET repo intentionally wants one opinionated formatter instead of a highly configurable dotnet format-driven style model.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/csharpier.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Linting and formatting. It works with .NET and C#. 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 intentionally wants one opinionated formatter instead of a highly configurable dotnet format-driven style model
  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-csharpier”

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 Csharpier loads about 961 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 472 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~961
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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 CSharpier

Trigger On

  • the repo uses or wants CSharpier
  • the team prefers an opinionated formatter over many configurable style knobs

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

  • repos that already standardized on dotnet format as the only formatter

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current formatting ownership model
  • any .csharpierignore or .editorconfig

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. Decide whether CSharpier is the primary formatter or only complements other tools.
  2. Use check mode in CI.
  3. Keep ignore files and config explicit in repo.
  4. Do not let CSharpier and dotnet format both own the same formatting space without documentation.

Bootstrap When Missing

If CSharpier is not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg --files -g '.config/dotnet-tools.json' -g '.csharpierignore'
    • dotnet tool list --local
    • dotnet tool list --global
  2. Prefer local tool installation for reproducible CI:
    • dotnet new tool-manifest (if missing)
    • dotnet tool install csharpier
  3. Add .csharpierignore when needed and define ownership vs dotnet format in AGENTS.md.
  4. Add dotnet csharpier check . to CI.
  5. Run dotnet csharpier check . and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo intentionally uses only dotnet format, return status: not_applicable unless migration is requested.

Deliver

  • explicit CSharpier ownership and commands
  • CI-safe formatter checks

Validate

  • formatter ownership is not ambiguous
  • the repo is comfortable with opinionated formatting 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.

  • read references/csharpier.md first
