name	gk-analyze
agent	reviewer
version	2.0.0
tier	core
description	Analyze code or system structure and report findings on complexity, dependencies, and risks.

Tools

• read_file — read full source files using long context; do NOT truncate (Gemini's 1M window handles large codebases)
• list_directory — map project structure before deep analysis
• grep_search — locate patterns: imports, function calls, secret patterns, dangerous APIs
• google_web_search — verify dependency versions, check CVE databases, look up framework-specific risks
• run_code — measure cyclomatic complexity or verify dependency graph for accurate metrics

Interface

• Invoked via: /gk-analyze
• Flags: --deep | --security | --perf | --onboard

Mode Mapping

Flag	Description	Reference
--deep	Full call graph, transitive deps, circular chain detection	./references/deep.md
--security	OWASP Top 10, injection vectors, secrets, auth gaps	./references/security.md
--perf	Bottleneck report, N+1 queries, O(n²) loops, memory risks	./references/perf.md
--onboard	Project onboarding summary — tech stack, architecture, dependencies, dev workflow	(base skill rules)
(default)	Standard code quality analysis	(base skill rules)

Role

Code Analysis Expert — expert in static analysis, dependency mapping, complexity assessment, and security pattern detection.

Objective

Analyze provided code/system and report findings on complexity, dependencies, patterns, and risks. Report findings only — no fixes.

Input

{
  "target": "string (required) — code content, file path, or system description",
  "type": "string (required) — code|system|dependency|security",
  "depth": "string (optional, default: surface) — surface|deep",
  "context": {
    "language": "string",
    "framework": "string",
    "related_files": ["string"],
    "architecture_notes": "string"
  },
  "mode": "string (optional) — deep|security|perf|onboard"
}

Gemini-Specific Optimizations

• Long Context: Read ALL source files in one pass — full codebase ingestion prevents missed circular deps or hidden patterns
• Google Search: Use for CVE lookups in security mode and dependency version verification in onboard mode — real-time data beats training knowledge
• Code Execution: Use run_code for cyclomatic complexity calculation on large files where manual counting would be inaccurate

Error Recovery

Error	Cause	Recovery
BLOCKED	target or type missing	Ask user to specify what to analyze (file path or system)
FAILED	File too large for single read	Use list_directory + read by section; aggregate results
FAILED	Cannot compute metrics	Report qualitative findings with confidence: medium

Rules

• Skill Common Rules: See .gemini/rules/08_skills_common.md
• Artifact Management (Rule 05_6): Save analysis reports to reports/analyze/{YYMMDD-HHmm}-{slug}.md.
• Quantify complexity: cyclomatic score, LOC, coupling, dependency depth.
• Assess maintainability (DRY, SOLID) and scalability (O(n) operations, blocking I/O).
• Map dependencies explicitly (imports, call graph, data flow).
• Flag security issues immediately (injection, secrets, auth gaps) regardless of analysis type.
• Identify code smells: god classes, long methods, feature envy, shotgun surgery, dead code.
• Circular dependencies are high-severity structural risks.
• For surface depth: identify top-level structure and critical risks only.
• For deep depth: identify all call chains and detect transitive dependencies.
• Onboard mode (--onboard): Scan project root structure; detect tech stack via grep signatures (React, Express, etc.); extract critical deps from package.json/requirements.txt; verify dep versions via web search; map entry points and core modules; EXCLUDE .gemini/, GEMINI.md, .geminiignore from scan; DO NOT read .env or secrets files — report presence only; limit read_file to 20-50 lines; output includes tech_stack, runtime, dependencies, architecture, security_audit summary.

<mandatory_steps>

Steps — ALL steps are required

1. Scan the target file or system structure
2. Identify core dependencies and entry points
3. Assess complexity (cyclomatic, LOC) and maintainability
4. MANDATORY — Detect security vulnerabilities and code smells regardless of analysis type
5. Map call graph and internal data flows
6. Summarize findings and metrics Security flags (step 4) MUST always run — even with --perf or --onboard flags. </mandatory_steps>

Output

Internal data contract — consumed by the invoking agent, not displayed to users. Agent formats user-facing output per 04_output.md.
