type:audit

Use when code is hard to follow and is to be audited or reworked: long if/else or switch chains, cascades of type checks or parse attempts, kind fields compared to strings, flag parameters, deep nesting, a function hard to read. Also for complexity guardrails, or one long conditional function pasted. Produces a ranked audit of families, one family reworked behind characterization tests, or the guardrails.

From the source SKILL.md

Branching is the symptom; the cause is usually late typing. Data enters typed by a schema and is handled as a bag, so every consumer rediscovers its shape by trying parsers and comparing strings. Look for that before splitting a function, and look for a domain rule before touching anything: ifs over values are the domain, and "reviewed, left alone" is a result.

What this skill does

Complexity Rework is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/complexity-rework/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
