Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00052 | $0.01011 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00505 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00202 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00101 |
Grade A, and why
mcaf-dotnet-complexity 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 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.
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.

MCAF: .NET Complexity
Trigger On
- the team wants to find overly complex methods
- cyclomatic complexity thresholds are needed in CI
- maintainability metrics or coupling thresholds need to be configured
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
- formatting-only work
- generic analyzer setup with no complexity policy change
Inputs
- the nearest
AGENTS.md - current analyzer settings
- current maintainability limits
Quick Start
- Read the nearest
AGENTS.mdand confirm scope and constraints. - Run this skill's
Workflowthrough theRalph Loopuntil outcomes are acceptable. - Return the
Required Result Formatwith concrete artifacts and verification evidence.
Workflow
- Start with the built-in maintainability analyzers before reaching for non-standard tooling.
- Use these rules deliberately:
CA1502for excessive cyclomatic complexity in methodsCA1505for low maintainability indexCA1506for excessive class couplingCA1501when inheritance depth is also part of the design problem
- Keep rule severity in the root
.editorconfig. - Keep metric thresholds in a checked-in
CodeMetricsConfig.txtadded asAdditionalFiles. - Pair analyzer findings with MCAF maintainability limits in
AGENTS.md.
Bootstrap When Missing
If complexity thresholds are not configured yet:
- Detect current state:
rg -n "CA1501|CA1502|CA1505|CA1506|CodeMetricsConfig" -g '.editorconfig' -g '*.csproj' -g 'Directory.Build.*' .rg --files -g 'CodeMetricsConfig.txt'
- Add severity entries for
CA1502,CA1505,CA1506, andCA1501in root.editorconfig. - Add checked-in
CodeMetricsConfig.txtand include it asAdditionalFilesin project props. - Keep maintainability limits aligned with
AGENTS.md. - Run
dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECTand returnstatus: configuredorstatus: improved. - If policy relies only on
AGENTS.mdlimits with no analyzer gate by design, returnstatus: not_applicable.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

mcaf-dotnet-complexity is a skill published in the GitHub repository managedcode/dotPilot (23 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,011 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 2026-08-30.
