coder.datafactory-style

A C# style guide for the DataFactory.MCP project. It defines naming, file organization, null-safety, asynchronous method, and error-handling conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing C# code, choosing file locations and names, handling nullable values, implementing async methods, or translating API errors.
Why use it?
It helps new or reviewed code fit the project and avoid common C# problems such as unchecked nulls or overly broad error handling.

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

coder.datafactory-style 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.

Project Settings

  • Target: net10.0
  • Nullable: enabled (project-wide)
  • Implicit usings: enabled
  • License: MIT

Conventions

Naming

Element Style Example
Classes PascalCase FabricGatewayService
Interfaces I prefix IFabricGatewayService
Methods PascalCase ListGatewaysAsync
Parameters camelCase gatewayClusterId
Private fields _ prefix _httpClient
Constants PascalCase MaxRetryCount
Async methods Async suffix GetGatewayAsync

File Organization

  • One primary class per file
  • File name matches class name
  • Tools in Tools/, Services in Services/, Models in Models/
  • Interfaces in Abstractions/

Null Safety

  • Nullable is ON — respect nullable annotations
  • Use ? for nullable types, ! only when provably non-null
  • Prefer pattern matching: if (value is not null)
  • Never suppress #pragma warning disable for nullable without justification

Error Handling

  • Catch specific exceptions, not Exception broadly
  • Translate API errors to meaningful MCP error responses
  • Always check auth state before API calls
  • Log errors with context (operation name, resource ID)

Async/Await

  • All I/O operations must be async
  • Use ConfigureAwait(false) in library code (Core project)
  • Never use .Result or .Wait() — always await

Dependency Injection

  • All services registered in DI container via extension methods in Extensions/
  • Constructor injection only
  • Depend on interfaces (Abstractions/), not concrete types

Key Patterns

Tool → Service → Model

Tool (MCP schema + validation) → Service (API call) → Model (data)
  • Tools handle: parameter parsing, validation, MCP response formatting
  • Services handle: HTTP calls, auth tokens, error translation
  • Models handle: data shape (DTOs, no logic)

Configuration

  • Feature flags control tool availability
  • API versions managed in Configuration/ classes
  • Environment variables for auth settings

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.

coder.datafactory-style is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/DataFactory.MCP (42 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 524 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
