# Complexity Analysis Skill

Analyze code complexity using `radon` (Python) and `gocyclo` (Go) to identify functions that need refactoring.

**Supported Languages:** Python, Go

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive code complexity analysis:
- Run `radon cc` on target paths
- Interpret complexity grades (A-F)
- Identify refactoring candidates
- Generate actionable recommendations
- Support enforcement checks via `xenon`

---

## Phase 1: Determine Scope

### If Path Provided

```bash
# Validate the path exists
ls -d "$PATH"
```

### If No Path (Default)

Analyze all Python services:
```
services/
```

---

## Phase 2: Run Complexity Analysis

### Python (radon)

```bash
# Show complexity for all Python files with summary
radon cc <path> -s -a

# For single file
radon cc <path/to/file.py> -s
```

**Output Format** - `radon cc` outputs lines like:
```
F 179:0 sync_gitlab - F (84)
C 35:0 validate_input - C (12)
A 117:4 embed_document - A (3)
```
Format: `<Grade> <line>:<col> <function_name> - <Grade> (<complexity>)`

### Go (gocyclo)

```bash
# Show all functions with CC > 10
gocyclo -over 10 <path>

# Top 10 most complex functions
gocyclo -top 10 <path>

# All functions sorted by complexity
gocyclo <path> | sort -rn
```

**Output Format** - `gocyclo` outputs lines like:
```
58 cmd runSling /path/to/sling.go:128:1
28 cmd formatLogLine /path/to/logger.go:110:1
```
Format: `<complexity> <package> <function> <file>:<line>:<col>`

**Install**:
```bash
go install github.com/fzipp/gocyclo/cmd/gocyclo@latest
```

---

## Phase 3: Interpret Results

### Complexity Grades Reference

| Grade | CC Range | Status | Action |
|-------|----------|--------|--------|
| **A** | 1-5 | Ideal | No action needed |
| **B** | 6-10 | Acceptable | No action needed |
| **C** | 11-20 | Complex | Refactor when touching this code |
| **D** | 21-30 | Very Complex | Should refactor soon |
| **E** | 31-40 | Extremely Complex | Urgent refactor needed |
| **F** | 41+ | Unmaintainable | Critical
