configure-codacy-cloud

A Codacy Cloud configuration-tuning workflow for repositories that already have a completed Codacy analysis. Codacy is a cloud service that reports code-quality issues; this workflow adjusts its tools and rules using the cloud configuration as the source of truth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import the current Codacy Cloud setup, select higher-signal checks, reanalyse the repository and tune the configuration over two passes. It does not perform local code analysis.
Why use it?
It helps reduce noisy or low-value findings while keeping an audit trail of configuration changes and their reasons.

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-cloud 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.

Configure Codacy (Cloud)

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

This skill tunes the Codacy configuration of a repository directly on Codacy Cloud, using the cloud as the source of truth. It does not run local analysis. It reads the current cloud issue landscape, applies a higher-signal set of tools and patterns, reanalyzes on Codacy, and iteratively cuts noise over two passes — producing a clean, high-signal configuration with a full audit trail of what changed and why.

For the local-first variant that discovers a stack from scratch and runs codacy-analysis analyze locally, use the configure-codacy skill instead. This skill is for repositories already on Codacy with a finished analysis where you want to tune the cloud config in place.

Prerequisites and requirements

  • Codacy Cloud CLI (codacy) — drives all cloud reads, updates, and reanalysis. See codacy-cloud-cli for setup.
  • Codacy Analysis CLI (codacy-analysis) — used only for config-file operations (init --remote, init --auto, config --merge). See codacy-analysis-cli for setup.
  • Both CLIs share credentials at ~/.codacy/credentials, so a single login covers both.

This skill has three hard requirements. Verify all three before doing anything else and stop with clear guidance if any fails:

  1. The repository is already on Codacy. Confirm with:

    codacy repo --output json
    

    If this fails (not on Codacy, no auth), stop. Tell the user to add the repo to Codacy first (e.g. codacy repo --add) — this skill does not set up a new repository.

  2. The repository has at least one finished analysis. Inspect the codacy repo --output json output for a completed/last-analysis indicator, and confirm the issue overview returns data:

    codacy issues -O -o json 2>/dev/null | jq '.'
    

    If the repo was never analyzed, or analysis is still running, stop. Tell the user to wait for the first analysis to finish — the whole flow depends on cloud issue data as the baseline.

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-cloud is a skill published in the GitHub repository codacy/codacy-skills (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 6,858 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
