mcaf-dotnet-analyzer-config

A guide for configuring .NET code-analysis and style rules in .editorconfig, a repository file that controls editor and analyzer behavior. It explains how to set rule severity, formatting choices, and ownership in one main configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review a root .editorconfig, set analyzer warnings and errors, define code-style options, and manage exceptions for tests, generated code, or legacy areas.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid conflicting or hidden style settings across a .NET repository. It also clarifies when a subfolder needs stricter or different rules.

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-analyzer-config 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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to dotnet-analyzer-config — 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 Analyzer Config

Trigger On

  • the repo needs a root .editorconfig
  • analyzer severity and style ownership are unclear
  • the team wants one source of truth for rule configuration

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

  • choosing analyzers with no config change
  • formatting-only execution with no config ownership question

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current .editorconfig
  • any Directory.Build.props overrides

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. Prefer one repo-root .editorconfig with root = true.
  2. Add nested .editorconfig files when a subtree has a clear scoped purpose, such as stricter rules, different generated-code handling, or a different policy for tests or legacy code.
  3. Keep severity in .editorconfig, not scattered through IDE settings.
  4. Write the file as real EditorConfig, not as a made-up .NET variant:
    • lowercase filename .editorconfig
    • root = true in the preamble
    • no inline comments
    • forward slashes in globs
  5. Keep bulk switches such as EnableNETAnalyzers in MSBuild files, not in .editorconfig.
  6. Treat .globalconfig as an exceptional case, not the normal repo setup.

Bootstrap When Missing

If analyzer configuration is requested but not structured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg --files -g '.editorconfig' -g '.globalconfig'
    • rg -n "EnableNETAnalyzers|AnalysisLevel|AnalysisMode" -g '*.csproj' -g 'Directory.Build.*' .
  2. Create or normalize one repo-root .editorconfig with root = true.
  3. Move rule severity into .editorconfig and keep bulk analyzer switches in project or MSBuild config.
  4. Add nested .editorconfig files only when a subtree really needs different scoped policy.
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo intentionally uses another documented analyzer-config ownership model, return status: 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.

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.
