crap-analysis

crap-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,773 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A method for finding risky code by combining how complicated it is with how much of it tests cover. Code coverage shows which code runs during tests; cyclomatic complexity estimates how many paths the code can take.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a .NET project before changes, find risk hotspots, collect coverage reports, and set coverage-related checks in CI/CD systems.
Why use it?
It helps identify code that is both difficult to change and poorly tested. This gives developers a clearer order for adding tests or simplifying code.

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 C, and why

crap-analysis scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

CRAP Score Analysis

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Evaluating code quality and test coverage before changes
  • Identifying high-risk code that needs refactoring or testing
  • Setting up coverage collection for a .NET project
  • Prioritizing which code to test based on risk
  • Establishing coverage thresholds for CI/CD pipelines

What is CRAP?

CRAP Score = Complexity x (1 - Coverage)^2

The CRAP (Change Risk Anti-Patterns) score combines cyclomatic complexity with test coverage to identify risky code.

CRAP Score Risk Level Action Required
< 5 Low Well-tested, maintainable code
5-30 Medium Acceptable but watch complexity
> 30 High Needs tests or refactoring

Why CRAP Matters

  • High complexity + low coverage = danger: Code that's hard to understand AND untested is risky to modify
  • Complexity alone isn't enough: A complex method with 100% coverage is safer than a simple method with 0%
  • Focuses effort: Prioritize testing on complex code, not simple getters/setters

CRAP Score Examples

Method Complexity Coverage Calculation CRAP
GetUserId() 1 0% 1 x (1 - 0)^2 1
ParseToken() 54 52% 54 x (1 - 0.52)^2 12.4
ValidateForm() 20 0% 20 x (1 - 0)^2 20
ProcessOrder() 45 20% 45 x (1 - 0.20)^2 28.8
ImportData() 80 10% 80 x (1 - 0.10)^2 64.8

Coverage Collection Setup

coverage.runsettings

Create a coverage.runsettings file in your repository root. The OpenCover format is required for CRAP score calculation because it includes cyclomatic complexity metrics.

crap-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills (1,144 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 2,773 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
