cyclomatic-complexity SKILL.md skillA
cyclomatic-complexity from amey-thakur/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Measure a function's branching complexity and reduce it so the logic stays testable. Use when a function has many paths, deep nesting, or a long if or switch chain.
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
# Cyclomatic complexity Cyclomatic complexity counts the independent paths through a function: one plus each branch point (`if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, and every `&&` or `||`). Paths multiply the tests a function needs and the states a reader must hold at once, and past roughly ten paths a function stops fitting in one head. ## Method 1. **Measure before you judge.** Run a real tool: `radon cc -s file.py`, the ESLint `complexity` rule, `gocyclo`, or SonarQube. Rank functions by score and start with the worst. A number ends the argument about whether a function merely "feels" complex. 2. **Set a threshold, treat crossings as a signal not a law.** Flag functions over 10 for a look and over 15 for a rewrite plan. The score is a smoke alarm: it says where to look, not that the code is wrong. Some parsers and state machines earn their number. 3. **Extract cohesive branches into named functions.** Each block pulled out drops the parent's count and gives the logic a name and a seam to test. A 40-path function that becomes a 6-path coordinator calling five 8-path helpers is far more testable, even though the total branches barely move. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/cyclomatic-complexity@sha256:c67fa1545c7025b5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.7c1285c, 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.
