# SonarQube — Fix Issue Fix a code quality or security issue identified by SonarQube. ## Usage ``` sonar-fix-issue java:S1481 src/main/java/MyClass.java:42 sonar-fix-issue python:S2077 src/auth/login.py sonar-fix-issue Remove unused variable in MyClass.java ``` ## Instructions ### Step 1: Identify the issue Parse the user-provided arguments for: - A rule key (e.g. `java:S1481`, `python:S2077`) - A file path and optional line number (e.g. `src/auth/login.py:34`) - Or a plain-language description if no rule key is given If neither a rule key nor a file path can be determined, ask: *"Which rule and file should I fix?"* ### Step 2: Look up the rule (if a key was given) Call `mcp__sonarqube__show_rule` with the rule key to retrieve the full rule description, rationale, and remediation guidance before touching any code. **Do not add extra parameters** (such as `projectKey`) unless the tool schema requires them — after integration, rule lookup usually needs only the rule key. If the MCP tool is unavailable, fall back to `sonar api get "/api/rules/show?key=<rule-key>"`. If `sonar` is also unavailable or unauthenticated, rely on built-in knowledge of SonarQube rules. ### Step 3: Read the file Read the full file content. If a line number was given, focus analysis around that line but read the whole file to understand context. ### Step 4: Apply the fix - Make the **minimal change** that resolves the rule violation - Do not refactor surrounding code or fix unrelated issues - Preserve existing behaviour — the fix must not change what the code does ### Step 5: Explain the change After editing, briefly explain: - What the violation was - Why the rule flags it - What was changed and why it resolves the issue ### Step 6: Suggest next steps - *"Invoke the sonar-analyze skill with `<file>` to confirm no new issues were introduced."* - *"Invoke the sonar-list-issues skill with the project key (or `sonar.projectKey` in `sonar-project.properties`) — the CLI always uses `-p`."*
