mcaf-dotnet-meziantou-analyzer

mcaf-dotnet-meziantou-analyzer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotPilot. It costs 56 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-meziantou-analyzer, MIT.

A setup for Meziantou.Analyzer, a free .NET code-checking package covering design, usage, security, performance, and style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add the analyzer package, configure rule severity in .editorconfig, and review overlap with existing .NET analyzers.
Why use it?
It adds broader checks than the standard .NET baseline while keeping them in one package and making overlaps reviewable.

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

mcaf-dotnet-meziantou-analyzer 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to dotnet-meziantou-analyzer — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

MCAF: .NET Meziantou.Analyzer

Trigger On

  • the repo uses or wants Meziantou.Analyzer
  • the team wants one analyzer pack that covers design, usage, security, performance, and style

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

  • repos that already enforce an overlapping analyzer baseline and do not want extra diagnostics
  • formatting-only work

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current analyzer packages
  • .editorconfig

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. Add Meziantou.Analyzer when the repo wants broader rules than the SDK baseline.
  2. Keep rule severity in the repo-root .editorconfig.
  3. Review overlaps with SDK analyzers and Roslynator before mass-enabling everything as errors.

Bootstrap When Missing

If Meziantou.Analyzer is not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg -n "Meziantou\\.Analyzer" -g '*.csproj' .
  2. Add the package to the intended scope (project-level or shared props strategy):
    • dotnet add PROJECT.csproj package Meziantou.Analyzer
  3. Set severity in root .editorconfig for the enabled MAxxxx rules.
  4. Keep overlap with SDK analyzers and Roslynator explicit to avoid duplicate noise.
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo intentionally keeps a smaller analyzer surface, return status: not_applicable.

Deliver

  • explicit Meziantou package setup
  • repo-owned severity and warning policy

Validate

  • the added rules are understood by the team
  • CI runs stay actionable instead of noisy

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.

Changes

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.
