Does it integrate with project management tools?

It is specifically designed to work with the Beads task tracking system to document, track, and close debt items through their lifecycle.

How does this skill detect code complexity?

It utilizes specific thresholds for Flog scores and cyclomatic complexity to categorize code segments as low, medium, high, or critical risk.

What are the thresholds for long methods and large classes?

The skill flags methods longer than 20 lines and classes exceeding 150 lines, providing severity levels based on total line count.

Can it help identify security vulnerabilities?

Yes, it includes specialized patterns for identifying SQL injection, XSS, and mass assignment risks as high-priority security debt.

Security & Testing

Identifies, categorizes, and prioritizes technical debt in Ruby on Rails applications using enterprise-grade metrics and detection patterns.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for managing technical debt within Rails ecosystems, enabling Claude to perform automated code health audits and detect complex smells like God Objects or Feature Envy. It utilizes industry-standard metrics—including Flog scores and Cyclomatic complexity—to calculate weighted severity scores based on blast radius, fix complexity, and risk. By integrating these patterns with task tracking workflows, it helps engineering teams transform legacy codebases into maintainable assets through structured, data-driven refactoring sprints.
