Pm Codesmells

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: code-quality  ·  Last updated:
type:audit
Scan the codebase for common code smells using threshold-based detection: long methods, god classes, long parameter lists, deep nesting, magic numbers, data clumps, and more. Produces a prioritized overview and proposes PinkRooster issues for confirmed findings. Faster and more systematic than pm-audit — uses quantitative metrics rather than exploratory analysis. Use this skill whenever the user says "code smells", "find smells", "check for code smells", "method too long", "god class", "refactoring opportunities", "what needs refactoring", "code quality metrics", "complexity check", or wants a quick structural health scan of their code without a full audit.

From the source SKILL.md

Systematically scan the codebase for named code smell patterns using quantitative thresholds and symbolic analysis. Unlike /pm-audit (which runs broad exploratory agents across quality, security, performance, and architecture), this skill does fast, targeted detection of specific structural patterns that indicate refactoring opportunities.

What this skill does

Pm Codesmells is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the code-quality sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/pm-codesmells/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
