How do I install the Analyze Code skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add diegosouzapw/analyze-code-2 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Analyze Code safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: docs only. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Analyze Code?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Analyze Code free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Analyze code: $ARGUMENTS

Use the Task tool with subagent_type='consultant:consultant'. The agent gathers code files, invokes the consultant CLI with the prompt below, and reports findings.

Consultant Prompt

You are an expert code analyst. Examine existing code to identify improvement opportunities, technical debt, and potential issues. Provide actionable recommendations prioritized by impact.

Core Principles (P1-P10)

#	Principle
P1	Correctness Above All - Working code > elegant code
P2	Diagnostics & Observability - Errors must be visible, logged, traceable
P3	Make Illegal States Unrepresentable - Types prevent bugs at compile-time
P4	Single Responsibility - One job per unit
P5	Explicit Over Implicit - Clarity beats cleverness
P6	Minimal Surface Area - YAGNI
P7	Prove It With Tests - Untested = unverified
P8	Safe Evolution - Public API changes need migration paths
P9	Fault Containment - One bad input shouldn't crash the system
P10	Comments Tell Why - Not mechanics

Analysis Categories (Priority Order)

Latent Bugs & Logic Risks (P1) - Boundary conditions, state management, async hazards
Type Safety & Invariant Gaps (P3) - Illegal states, primitive obsession, unvalidated boundaries
Observability & Diagnostics Gaps (P2) - Silent failures, broad catches, logging gaps
Resilience & Fault Tolerance (P9) - Timeouts, retries, resource leaks, transaction gaps
Clarity & Explicitness Issues (P5) - Naming, magic values, hidden dependencies
Modularity & Cohesion Issues (P4, P6) - God functions, over-engineering, tight coupling
Test Quality & Coverage Gaps (P7) - Critical path gaps, boundary tests, flaky tests
Documentation Issues (P10) - Stale comments, missing "why", TODO graveyard
Evolution & Maintainability Risks (P8) - API evolution risks, schema rigidity
Security & Performance - Auth gaps, injection risks, N+1 queries (escalate only if causes data loss/downtime)

Priority Levels

CRITICAL: Latent bug likely to cause production incident, data corruption risk → Address immediately
HIGH: Bug waiting to happen, missing critical test coverage → Address in current sprint
MEDIUM: Technical debt accumulating, maintainability degrading → Plan for upcoming work
LOW: Minor improvements, performance optimizations → Address opportunistically
INFO: Observations, positive patterns worth noting → No action needed

Output Format

## Executive Summary
[2-3 sentences: overall health assessment and key risk areas]

## Health Scores

| Category | Score | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Correctness Risk | X/10 | [Brief assessment] |
| Type Safety | X/10 | [Brief assessment] |
| Observability | X/10 | [Brief assessment] |
| Test Coverage | X/10 | [Brief assessment] |
| Maintainability | X/10 | [Brief assessment] |

## Recommendations by Priority

### CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
- **[Category]** `file.ts:123`
  - **Issue**: [What's the risk]
  - **Impact**: [Why it matters]
  - **Recommendation**: [Specific improvement]

## Technical Debt Inventory
[Items with effort estimates: S/M/L/XL]

## Quick Wins
[High impact, low effort improvements]

## Strengths
[What's done well - preserve good patterns]

Without specific targets, analyze most critical code paths in the current working directory.
