configure-codacy

A Codacy configuration helper that adapts code checks to a project's languages, frameworks, and coding habits. Codacy is a service that analyzes code for quality and security problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover a project's stack, set up Codacy tools and rules, run analysis, tune thresholds, and exclude unsuitable files.
Why use it?
It reduces irrelevant warnings and adjusts checks so the results are more useful for the project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

configure-codacy scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 832 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Configure Codacy

Glossary: See glossary.md for shared definitions of Codacy concepts (issues, findings, severity, coverage, tools, patterns, etc.).

This skill tailors Codacy configuration to a project's actual stack and coding conventions. It discovers the repository's languages and frameworks, initializes a broad set of tools and patterns, runs analysis, then intelligently cuts noise — producing a clean, high-signal configuration with a full audit trail of what changed and why.

Prerequisites

  • Codacy Analysis CLI (codacy-analysis) with discover and init --auto support. If the CLI does not support these commands, update it running: npm i -g @codacy/analysis-cli. See codacy-analysis-cli for setup.
  • Codacy Cloud CLI (codacy) — needed to know if the repo is on Codacy Cloud and if so, fetch issues from the cloud-only tools. See codacy-cloud-cli for setup.

Both CLIs share credentials at ~/.codacy/credentials, so a single login covers both.

How configuration works

All configuration is done locally via .codacy/codacy.config.json. Edit the file, run analysis, see results instantly — no push or cloud reanalysis needed. Once tuned, the configuration can be imported to Codacy Cloud in one step.

The key principle: start broad, then cut noise using data. Initialize with maximum pattern coverage via init --auto, run analysis to see the full issue landscape, then use the severity/category distribution to decide what to disable or tune.

Read the config format reference for the full schema before editing — field names matter (e.g., the exclusion field is exclude, not excludePaths). To disable a pattern, remove it from the patterns array. To disable a tool, remove the entire tool entry.

Organization standards take precedence. If a pattern is enforced by a Coding Standard at the organization level, it cannot be changed at the repository level.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

configure-codacy is a skill published in the GitHub repository codacy/codacy-skills (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 11,639 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
