What metrics does Pasta Lunch use to detect spaghetti code?

It utilizes industry-standard PHPMD metrics including Cyclomatic Complexity, NPath Complexity, Coupling Between Objects (CBO), and Excessive Class Complexity.

Can I target specific directories for analysis?

Yes, you can run the detection on the entire source folder or target specific sub-directories like Resource, Service, or Domain to focus your refactoring efforts.

What are 'Mamma Mia!' files?

These are files that exceed the highest thresholds for complexity and coupling (e.g., CC > 21), indicating they are structurally broken and likely to cause bugs with every change.

How does it help with refactoring?

Beyond detection, it analyzes the root cause of high metrics and provides specific code transformations like Extract Service, Strategy Pattern, and Guard Clauses.

Does this work with any programming language?

Pasta Lunch is currently specifically optimized for PHP applications, leveraging PHPMD rulesets and PHP-specific refactoring patterns.

Identifies complex PHP code using PHPMD metrics and provides automated refactoring strategies to resolve architectural debt.

Pasta Lunch is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to tackle "spaghetti code" in PHP applications by leveraging industry-standard PHPMD metrics. It categorizes code complexity using a unique scale from 'Piccolo' to 'Mamma Mia!' levels, allowing developers to immediately prioritize the most fragile parts of their codebase. Beyond simple detection, the skill performs deep root cause analysis on issues like high coupling and cyclomatic complexity, generating concrete, production-ready refactoring proposals such as Strategy patterns, Guard clauses, and DTO decomposition to transform tangled logic into maintainable architecture.
