code-metrics-analyzer

Code quality metrics quantify complexity, maintainability, and test coverage across your codebase. This Skill computes cyclomatic and cognitive complexity, lines of code, method counts, comment density, and test coverage, then generates a structured report highlighting the most complex files and refactoring candidates.

Run the analyze and complex commands to calculate cyclomatic complexity per method and file. The Skill identifies methods exceeding complexity thresholds, ranks them by difficulty, and produces refactoring suggestions with specific targets to reduce technical debt.

Yes. The Skill's report command produces structured outputs and HTML reports suitable for trend analysis. Store successive analyses to monitor how metrics like complexity, LOC, and coverage change across releases and refactoring cycles.

The Skill applies to projects of varying languages and sizes. It analyzes cyclomatic and cognitive complexity, method counts, and inheritance depth—metrics language-agnostic enough for multi-language codebases, though the underlying Python tool determines specific language support.

Yes. The Skill is designed for projects of varying sizes. It processes multiple files, generates summary tables of the most complex files, and produces both machine-readable structured output and human-readable HTML reports for large-scale analysis.

Cyclomatic complexity counts decision branches (if, loops, operators); cognitive complexity adds nesting weight and abstracts language-specific constructs. Both identify complex methods, but cognitive complexity better reflects perceived difficulty for maintainers.
