What it does

Mcaf Solution Governance is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Set up or refine solution-level governance for MCAF repositories: root and project-local AGENTS.md, rule precedence, solution topology, skill routing, and maintainability-limit policy placement. Use when bootstrapping a repo, restructuring a multi-project solution, or tightening agent rules.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dotnet-agents-pattern.md`, `references/project-agents-template.md` and `references/rule-precedence.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires repository write access; updates root or local AGENTS.md files and related governance docs.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. 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

  • Bootstrapping a repo
  • Restructuring a multi-project solution
  • Tightening agent rules

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-solution-governance”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires repository write access; updates root or local `AGENTS.md` files and related governance docs.

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 repository write access; updates root or local `AGENTS.md` files and related governance docs.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Solution Governance loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 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
~80
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
~2.4k

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: Solution Governance

Trigger On

  • bootstrap or rewrite a repo-wide AGENTS.md
  • add project-local AGENTS.md files for a multi-project solution
  • clarify rule precedence, skill routing, or maintainability policy placement

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

  • writing feature specs or ADR content
  • code-level refactoring without a governance change

Inputs

  • current repo topology and module roots
  • existing root or local AGENTS.md files
  • actual build, test, format, and analyze commands
  • the active stack when commands or tooling are platform-specific

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. Identify the solution root and any project or module roots that need their own AGENTS.md.
  2. Keep the root file global:
    • shared workflow
    • shared commands
    • rule precedence
    • global skill list
    • maintainability-limit keys
  3. Keep local files narrow:
    • project purpose
    • entry points
    • boundaries
    • local commands
    • applicable skills
    • stricter local constraints
  4. Resolve overlap explicitly. Local rules may be stricter or more specific, never silently weaker.
  5. When the stack is .NET, record:
    • the test framework
    • the runner model (VSTest or Microsoft.Testing.Platform)
    • the repo-root .editorconfig as the analyzer config owner
  6. Put numeric maintainability limits in AGENTS.md, not in framework prose or skill bodies.

Deliver

  • one clear root AGENTS.md
  • local AGENTS.md files only where boundaries justify them
  • explicit precedence rules and skill-routing guidance

Validate

  • root and local responsibilities are not duplicated blindly
  • local files do not weaken root policy
  • maintainability keys are present and named consistently
  • an agent can tell which AGENTS.md to read first for any path

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/rule-precedence.md first
  • use references/project-agents-template.md only when creating a local file
  • use references/dotnet-agents-pattern.md when the solution stack is .NET

Example Requests

  • "Set up AGENTS for this mono-repo."
  • "Set up AGENTS for this .NET solution."
  • "Split governance between the solution root and each service."
  • "Move maintainability limits into AGENTS and make precedence explicit."
