code-complexity

code-complexity is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-complexity analyser measures how difficult code is to understand and change, including branching, nesting, function length, and coupling between parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect large changes, identify refactoring targets, track codebase health, and report complexity using summary, detailed, or JSON output.
Why use it?
It helps you find areas likely to be expensive to maintain and choose where refactoring will matter most.

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

code-complexity 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/tests/test-code-complexity.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Metric Computation: Offload, Never Count By Hand

Complexity metrics (cyclomatic complexity, NLOC, parameter count, function length, nesting depth) are computed by a tool, never by eyeballing function boundaries or counting branches by hand. Hand-counting is token-hungry, irreproducible run-to-run, and exactly the mechanical work that belongs in a deterministic substrate.

  • Language-native fast paths (use when the project already has them configured): radon for Python, cargo clippy for Rust, the ESLint complexity rule for JS/TS when an ESLint config exists.
  • lizard — the uniform fallback for every language. One tool computes cyclomatic complexity (CCN), NLOC, parameter count (PARAM), function length, and nesting depth (ND) across JS/TS/Go/Python/Rust/C/C++/Java with machine-readable output. It is the deterministic answer wherever a language-native tool is absent — always the JS/TS and Go path when ESLint complexity isn't configured.

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.

code-complexity is a skill published in the GitHub repository laurigates/claude-plugins (59 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,949 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
