version: "1.0.0" name: al-code-review description: Review Business Central AL code using BCQuality's curated rules. Use for an AL app folder, pull request, working-tree diff, branch, or individual AL file when BCQuality is installed as a standalone plugin.

AL code review

This is BCQuality's host-native adapter for standalone plugin installations. It is not a BCQuality action skill and contains no review or routing policy. Its only responsibility is to translate the caller's request into an Entry task context and execute the resulting dispatch.

Execute

1. Resolve PLUGIN_ROOT to the directory containing this plugin's root

plugin.json. This file is PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/al-code-review/SKILL.md; when the host does not expose the plugin root, resolve it two levels above this file.

1. Build the task-context required by

PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/entry.md:

• Copy the caller's actual request verbatim into goal; do not replace a

focused request such as "review performance" with a generic full-review goal.

• Set inputs-available to the inputs actually available to the review:

folder-path for an app or source folder, pr-diff for changes, or file-path for one file. Pass the caller's actual path with the selected input type; for a whole-app request in the current working directory, use that directory as the folder-path.

• Set technologies: [al] when the input is known to be AL.
• Pass bc-version, countries, and application-area only when supplied

or reliably determined.

• If BCQUALITY_ENABLED_LAYERS is set, split its comma-separated value and

pass the trimmed, non-empty entries as enabled-layers; otherwise omit the field and let Entry apply its default.

• If BCQUALITY_DISABLED_SKILLS is set, split its comma-separated value and

pass the trimmed, non-empty entries as disabled-skills; otherwise omit the field.

1. Read and execute PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/entry.md exactly as written, including

its Preparation step. Entry is authoritative for index freshness, routing, defaults, and failure behavior; this adapter must not duplicate or weaken those rules. Entry is written for a checkout whose root is the current directory, so resolve every repo-relative path it names against PLUGIN_ROOT rather than the caller's working directory, which is the user's own project. In particular, run Preparation's index build as pwsh PLUGIN_ROOT/tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1: the generator resolves its own root and writes PLUGIN_ROOT/knowledge-index.json, which is not shipped and is therefore absent on a fresh install. If pwsh is unavailable or the build fails, continue — READ falls back to path-based discovery — but do not treat a failed build as a failed review.

1. Follow Entry's How the agent uses the dispatch instructions. Invoke only

the returned action skills, pass each dispatch entry's exact input subset, and read PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/read.md and PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/do.md on demand. When a dispatched super-skill requests isolated leaf execution and the host supports child contexts, use them.

1. Return each dispatched action skill's findings report unchanged. If Entry

returns no-match or failed, return its dispatch record unchanged.

The internal microsoft/skills/review/al-code-review.md action skill remains the canonical coordinator for a broad AL review. Entry decides whether that super-skill or a narrower domain skill applies; this host adapter never chooses between them.

Layer selection is not a deny mechanism

A plugin install ships the whole BCQuality tree, so enabled-layers here can only narrow discovery: the files of a layer left out of the list still exist on disk. This differs from the clone model Entry's Preparation step describes, where a consumer prunes its checkout to policy before the agent runs and the index is rebuilt over the pruned tree. Treat BCQUALITY_ENABLED_LAYERS as a selection filter, never as a security boundary. A host that needs a genuine deny mechanism must prune the installed tree itself.
