Can this skill help with refactoring existing code?

Yes, it identifies specific violations in your codebase and provides actionable suggestions or automated fixes to improve modularity and readability.

Is the feedback purely subjective?

No, this skill is designed to provide 'rules of thumb' and concrete numbers to give objective, actionable feedback rather than just general coding philosophy.

What metrics does this skill track?

It monitors file size (Lines of Code), function length, and cyclomatic complexity, providing specific warnings and critical alerts when thresholds are exceeded.

How does it assist during the code review process?

It generates a structured checklist covering error handling, naming conventions, security, and architectural boundaries to ensure consistency across the team.

Does it support different programming languages?

Yes, it includes language-specific thresholds to respect the unique conventions and verbosity of different ecosystems.
