mcaf-formatting

A guide for formatting code with the repository's own approved formatter and lint commands, as documented in AGENTS.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after code changes or when formatting has drifted, then review the diff and run the repository's required checks.
Why use it?
It reduces style-related noise while avoiding invented commands, unrelated refactoring, and unverified formatting changes.

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-formatting 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

MCAF: Formatting

Outputs

  • Formatted code changes (consistent with repo style)
  • Evidence: formatting command(s) run and any follow-up build/tests

Workflow

  1. Use the canonical format command from AGENTS.md (do not invent commands).
  2. Run the formatter on the smallest scope possible (if your tools allow it).
  3. Review the diff:
    • ensure changes are formatting-only
    • if the formatter touched many files, separate the change or confirm it was explicitly requested
  4. Verify (follow AGENTS.md for sequencing + required commands):
    • for formatting-only changes: run the smallest meaningful verification the repo requires (build/tests/analyze as applicable)
    • for formatting as part of a behaviour change: follow the repo’s normal order (don’t reorder the pipeline)
  5. If format/linters are missing or flaky:
    • fix AGENTS.md to point to a real, repeatable command
    • only then rerun formatting
  6. Report what was run and what changed.

Guardrails

  • Do not introduce unrelated refactors under the cover of formatting.
  • Keep formatting changes and behaviour changes reviewable.

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-formatting is a skill published in the GitHub repository managedcode/GeminiSharpSDK (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
