crap-analyzer skillA

crap-analyzer is agent-read markdown (skill) from swingerman/engineer: Use to produce a risk-based refactor + test plan for recently-changed code on a diff/branch/PR by computing CRAP (complexity × untested) on changed methods. Multi-language — TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, Ruby, C#, Rust, PHP — auto-discovers how the repo generates coverage. Triggers — "/crap-analyzer", "analyze CRAP", "compute CRAP", "find risky methods", "find complex untested methods"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# CRAP Analyzer

CRAP (Change Risk Anti-Patterns) flags functions that are both **complex** and **poorly tested** — the worst-risk code to ship.

```
CRAP(m) = comp(m)² × (1 − cov(m))³ + comp(m)
```

This skill scopes analysis to a diff, ranks findings worst-first, and turns each finding into a concrete refactor + test-stub proposal.

## Workflow

1. **Determine the diff.** First that works:
   - `gh pr diff` / `gh pr diff <number>` if a GitHub PR is referenced.
   - `git diff --merge-base <main-branch>` — detect the main branch with `git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch'`.
   - `git diff --cached` for staged changes.
   - `git diff HEAD~N..HEAD` for a named commit range.
   - Explicit file list if the user names files.

   Pipe the diff to `scripts/compute_crap.py --diff -`.

2. **Locate or generate coverage.** Let the script auto-discover coverage files first (lcov, Cobertura, JaCoCo, Clover, Go `coverage.out`, coverage.py JSON). If nothing is found, follow [references/coverage-discovery.md](references/coverage-discovery.md) to detect the toolchain, then ask before running it. On decline, proceed with coverage=0% and flag it in the report header.

3. **Run the analyzer.**

How to install

Latest version
mdr add swingerman/engineer/crap-analyzer@git:20260525.78c79de
Exact content
mdr add swingerman/engineer/crap-analyzer@sha256:7ad02cce7eed634c

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
