Code Smell Detector Skill

Automated detection of code smells, anti-patterns, and design issues that indicate deeper problems in the codebase. This skill identifies refactoring opportunities and prioritizes them by impact.

Purpose

Enable systematic detection of code smells for:

• Refactoring prioritization
• Technical debt identification
• Code quality improvement
• Migration preparation
• Design pattern violations

Capabilities

1. Long Method Detection

• Identify methods exceeding line thresholds
• Analyze parameter counts
• Detect high cyclomatic complexity
• Suggest extraction candidates

2. Large Class Identification

• Detect classes with too many responsibilities
• Identify god classes
• Analyze class cohesion
• Suggest decomposition strategies
