When is the best time to use the Code Analysis skill?

It is most effective when evaluating new code contributions, auditing existing repositories for technical debt, or planning a major refactor.

Is the analysis limited to a specific programming language?

No, the methodologies and best practices provided are designed to be applied across multiple programming languages for universal quality assessment.

Can it identify specific anti-patterns?

Yes, it detects several 'code smells' including Long Methods, Large Classes, God Objects, Deep Nesting, and Duplicate Code.

Does this skill provide solutions for bad code?

Absolutely. It suggests specific refactoring techniques such as Extract Method, Extract Class, and replacing conditionals with polymorphism.

How does this skill measure code complexity?

It utilizes Cyclomatic Complexity to count linear paths through code and Cognitive Complexity to assess how difficult the logic is for a human to follow.

Security & Testing

Analyzes codebase structure and complexity to identify refactoring opportunities and technical debt.

About

The Code Analysis skill empowers Claude to perform deep static analysis of codebases, identifying complexity hotspots and maintenance risks through quantitative metrics like Cyclomatic and Cognitive complexity. It systematically highlights common anti-patterns—such as 'God Objects,' 'Deep Nesting,' and 'Dead Code'—while providing actionable refactoring strategies to improve code maintainability. This skill is essential for developers looking to uphold high standards of code quality and structural integrity across diverse programming environments.
