code-metrics from amey-thakur/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/code-metrics@git:20260728.fac4544Pins git:20260728.fac4544 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read code metrics as smoke that points at where to look, not as verdicts that rank code good or bad. Use when triaging a large codebase for refactoring targets or reviewing metric-gated quality checks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Code metrics A metric is an instrument, not a judge. Cyclomatic complexity, churn, and coverage each measure one narrow thing, and treating any as a target invites gaming: developers split functions to dodge a threshold without making the code clearer. Used well, metrics answer "where do I look first?" across code too large to read. Used badly, they become a quota that punishes honest code. ## Method 1. **Rank hotspots by churn times complexity, not either alone.** A complex file nobody edits is dormant; a simple file edited daily is fine. The product finds files that are both hard to grasp and constantly changing. `code-maat` and `git-of-theseus` compute this from git history. 2. **Read complexity as a prompt to inspect, then open the file.** A cyclomatic score of 30 from `radon`, `lizard`, or `gocyclo` means "go read this," not "this is broken." Some dense functions are correct; some tiny ones hide bugs. 3. **Trend metrics over time, not against an absolute.** Track whether a module's complexity and churn rise or fall release over release. Direction of travel tells you more than a snapshot measured against an arbitrary bar. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/code-metrics@sha256:251404decb6a6e5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
