complexity-check

complexity-check is a command for Claude Code from navraj007in/architecture-cowork-plugin. It costs 8 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that estimates how difficult a product will be to build using ten assessment factors. It helps classify an idea as a small project or a much longer effort.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a product’s build complexity from its description, project state, technology choices, components, design, data entities, and user types.
Why use it?
It gives founders a structured way to understand delivery difficulty instead of relying only on intuition. It can also use existing project architecture details when available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

complexity-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Purpose

Assess how hard a product is to build using a structured 10-factor methodology. Helps founders understand whether their idea is a weekend project or a 6-month effort.

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Product

First, check architecture-output/_state.json. If it exists, read it in full — it provides instant access to project, tech_stack, components, design, entities, and personas without reading larger files. Use its values directly where available; fall back to SDL (check solution.sdl.yaml first; if absent, read sdl/README.md then the relevant module files) only for detail not in _state.json.

Also check for sdl/complexity.sdl.yaml — if it exists, it contains pre-calculated Architecture Complexity Index (ACI) and Delivery Burden Index (DBI) scores from an import or discovery run. Read it now and set a flag: has_sdl_complexity = true.

If a description is provided, use it directly. If not, ask:

"What are you building? Describe the product and its key features so I can assess the build complexity."

Do not ask extended follow-ups. Make reasonable assumptions and state them. This command is designed to be fast.

Step 2: Determine Project Type

Classify as app, agent, or hybrid. This affects factor weights (agent/hybrid projects use adjusted weights from the complexity-factors skill).

Step 3: Score All 10 Factors

Using the complexity-factors skill, score each factor 1-10:

  1. User Roles & Permissions
  2. Frontend Complexity
  3. Backend Architecture
  4. Data Model
  5. Integrations
  6. Authentication & Security
  7. Infrastructure & Deployment
  8. Real-time Features
  9. AI/ML Components
  10. Regulatory & Compliance

Step 4: Generate Output

SDL Complexity Scores (if has_sdl_complexity = true)

If sdl/complexity.sdl.yaml exists, display the pre-calculated indices first, before the 10-factor table:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

complexity-check is a command published in the GitHub repository navraj007in/architecture-cowork-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

nyann:doctor

Run nyann's read-only hygiene + documentation audit on the current repo. Emits the same drift sections retrofit uses, but never offers remediation or writes to the filesystem. Use this on session start, in CI, or any time you want to sanity-check a repo without risking mutations.

thettwe/nyann · 61 tokens

nyann:retrofit

Audit an existing repo against a profile and fix what's drifted. Unlike doctor (read-only), retrofit detects missing hooks, misconfigured gitignore, documentation gaps, and non-compliant history, then offers to remediate via bootstrap. Idempotent — safe to re-run.

nyann:hotfix

Create the branch topology for a patch release against a previously tagged version. Ensures release/ . exists from the source tag, then creates hotfix/ off it. After this, the user commits the fix and runs /nyann:release from the hotfix branch.

nyann:release

Cut a release: generate a CHANGELOG section from Conventional Commits, make a release commit, and create an annotated tag. Defaults to conventional-changelog strategy.

nyann:ship

Open a GitHub pull request AND merge it in one step. Default uses GitHub's native auto-merge (returns immediately with outcome:"queued"); --client-side polls for green CI in the foreground then runs gh pr merge. Requires gh installed + authed.
