dotPilot: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/mcaf-dotnet-quickdup/SKILL.md

mcaf-dotnet-quickdup is a skill for Codex from managedcode/dotPilot. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of quickdup, MIT.

A setup for QuickDup, a free tool that finds repeated or structurally similar C# code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a solution, project, or source folder for duplicate code and run duplication checks locally or in CI.
Why use it?
It makes copy-pasted logic and possible DRY refactoring targets easier to find through repeatable scans.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is managedcode/dotPilot's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on dotPilot itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dotPilot configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to managedcode/dotPilot. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

mcaf-dotnet-quickdup scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

MCAF: .NET QuickDup

Trigger On

  • the repo wants QuickDup
  • the team needs repeatable duplicate-code scans for C#
  • the user asks about DRY cleanup, copy-paste detection, clone detection, or duplicate logic removal in a .NET repo

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
  • repos that intentionally use a different clone detector and do not want overlap
  • generated-code churn where duplication findings would mostly be noise

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • target solution, project, or source subtree
  • current duplication hotspots and generated-code boundaries

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. Choose the scan target deliberately:
    • whole solution for broad discovery
    • bounded folders for targeted cleanup
  2. Scan C# with .cs only unless the repo explicitly wants Razor, generated XML, or other extensions too.
  3. Exclude generated and transient paths before trusting the results:
    • bin/
    • obj/
    • Migrations/ when scaffold churn dominates
    • *.g.cs
    • *.generated.cs
    • *.Designer.cs
  4. Review the top patterns before refactoring anything.
  5. Classify duplication before changing code:
    • real structural duplication worth extraction
    • domain-shape duplication that documents intent
    • generated or acceptable duplication that should be ignored
  6. Prefer small extractions, named helpers, shared value objects, or focused abstractions over flag-heavy merge methods.
  7. Re-run QuickDup after the refactor and then run the repo's normal quality pass.

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.
