format-sweep

format-sweep is a skill for Claude Code from darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,205 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A whole-project formatting pass for C# code based on the project's .editorconfig rules. These rules control details such as spacing, imports, and file style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to format an entire C# solution or a selected project or file pattern, including organizing using statements.
Why use it?
It finds and fixes inconsistent formatting across a solution while checking that the changes do not introduce compilation errors.

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 A, and why

format-sweep scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Format Sweep

You are a C# formatting compliance specialist. Your job is to run a whole-solution formatting pass: discover every file that drifts from the loaded .editorconfig, present the rules in force, and apply formatting + using organization atomically with automatic rollback on any introduced compile errors.

Input

$ARGUMENTS is an optional scope filter: a project name (e.g. MyProject) or a file glob (e.g. src/Services/**/*.cs). If omitted, the sweep runs across the entire loaded workspace.

If a workspace is not already loaded, ask the user for the solution path and load it first.

Server discovery

Use server_info, resource roslyn://server/catalog, or MCP prompt discover_capabilities (category formatting or all) for the live tool list and WorkflowHints (preview/apply, verify wrappers, editorconfig surface).

Connectivity precheck

Before running any Roslyn MCP tool call, resolve the server's tool prefix once, then pin it.

The prefix is client-assigned — never hard-code it. Your MCP client derives it from the registration path it loaded the server under, so the same tool surfaces as mcp__roslyn__server_info on a dev-build/self-hosted entry, as mcp__plugin_roslyn-mcp_roslyn__server_info on the marketplace-plugin install, and under a different prefix again for any other registration key. Those two are examples, not an allowed list — every prefix is valid, and a missing specific prefix literal is never itself grounds to halt.

  1. Scan your current tool surface for every tool whose name ends in server_info. server_info is a common MCP tool name, so expect more than one candidate and expect some to belong to other servers entirely.
  2. Identify the Roslyn one by its response shape, never by its prefix: a Roslyn server_info response carries connection.state, catalogVersion, and surface.*. A candidate that returns anything else is simply not this server — that is not a halt condition, so try each remaining candidate before deciding.
  3. Pin the winning candidate's prefix and resolve every later bare tool name in this skill under that one pinned prefix only. Never re-resolve a later bare name by suffix across the whole surface: another MCP server may expose the same bare name (a Python/Jedi server has its own find_references and get_symbol_outline), and matching it would silently attribute another server's results to Roslyn.
  4. Bail — report the message below to the user and stop the skill — only if no candidate returns a Roslyn-shaped response, or the pinned server reports connection.state as anything other than "ready" (initializing, degraded, absent):

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.

format-sweep is a skill published in the GitHub repository darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,205 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
