code-smell-detector

Code smell detection automatically flags anti-patterns like large functions, complex inheritance, tight coupling, and missing public API definitions in Python modules. It surfaces these issues with location data, severity levels, and philosophy violation explanations to guide refactoring.

Automated detection catches over-abstraction, complex inheritance hierarchies, large functions, tight coupling, and missing __all__ definitions. Each issue includes before/after examples and step-by-step fix guidance aligned with development best practices.

Yes. The Skill flags violations against development philosophy during code review and refactoring sessions, providing actionable recommendations and impact assessments so new code adheres to team standards before merging.

For each smell, you get precise location data, severity level, philosophy violation explanation, concrete before/after code examples, step-by-step refactoring guidance, and impact assessment to understand consequences and next actions.

By identifying anti-patterns that reduce clarity and increase complexity, the Skill helps simplify code structure, reduce coupling, and enforce design consistency. This lowers maintenance burden and makes future changes safer and faster.
