Complexity Analysis Engine
Overview
Analyzes task and feature complexity using multiple factors to provide 1-10 scoring with actionable recommendations. This is a foundational skill used by other PopKit workflows.
Automatic integration: This skill is automatically invoked by planning workflows, PRD parsers, and agent routers. It operates silently in the background to provide complexity intelligence.
Complexity Scoring (1-10)
Score
Level
Description
Example
1-2
Trivial
Single file, minimal changes
Fix typo, update constant
3-4
Simple
Few files, straightforward logic
Add button, update styling
5-6
Moderate
Multiple files, some complexity
Add form validation, API endpoint
7-8
Complex
Architecture changes, high impact
Refactor module, add auth system
9-10
Very Complex
System-wide changes, high risk
Migrate architecture, redesign core
Complexity Factors
The analyzer evaluates 8 factors with configurable weights:

Usage Patterns
1. Automatic Analysis (Preferred)
Complexity analysis is automatically performed when you use development workflows:
