complexity-check

complexity-check is a skill for Claude Code from davila7/claude-with-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code review procedure that looks for maintainability problems such as oversized files, very long functions, deeply nested conditions, and unexplained numeric values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code-quality reviews, before a release, or when assessing whether a codebase is becoming too complex.
Why use it?
It highlights code that may be difficult to understand, test, or change later.

About the project

Claude With Skills is a progressive course that teaches developers to create reusable, portable Agent Skills for Claude Code, from basic SKILL.md files to advanced automation and plugin packaging. It is intended for developers who want repeatable instructions and workflows instead of repeatedly pasting the same guidance. The catalogue contains the course's skills, agents, and instruction.

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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check the codebase for complexity violations.

Changed files

!git diff --name-only HEAD~1 2>/dev/null || git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "all"

Focus on the changed files listed above. If "all", check the entire codebase.

Check 1: Large files

Find source files over 300 lines (exclude node_modules, dist, .git, vendor, coverage, build):

find . \( -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.jsx" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rb" \) \
  -not -path "*/node_modules/*" \
  -not -path "*/dist/*" \
  -not -path "*/.git/*" \
  -not -path "*/vendor/*" \
  -not -path "*/coverage/*" \
  -not -path "*/build/*" \
  | xargs wc -l 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -20

Flag any file with more than 300 lines.

Check 2: Long functions

Read each changed source file (or sample the largest files if "all"). Scan for function or method definitions and estimate the line count between consecutive definitions. Flag any function that appears to span more than 50 lines.

Look for these definition patterns:

  • Python: def or async def
  • TypeScript/JavaScript: function , async function , => {, ): void {, ): Promise<
  • Go: func
  • Ruby: def

If a definition is followed by the next definition more than 50 lines later, flag the first function.

Check 3: Deep nesting

Search changed files for lines with 4 or more levels of indentation inside conditional or loop structures. Use these grep patterns (adjust for tab vs space indentation):

For 4-space indentation (16+ spaces):

grep -n "^                " <file>

For tab indentation (4+ tabs):

grep -n "^\t\t\t\t" <file>

Flag files where deeply nested lines appear inside if, for, while, or switch blocks.

Check 4: Magic numbers

Search changed files for numeric literals (other than 0, 1, -1, 2, 100, 1000) used directly in conditions or calculations without a named constant. Look for patterns like:

  • if x > 42:
  • * 3600
  • % 7 ==
  • timeout = 30

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 skill published in the GitHub repository davila7/claude-with-skills (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 825 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
