# Complexity Scorer

## When to Use This Skill

✅ **Use when:**
- Routing tasks to different handlers based on complexity
- Recommending resources (models, workers, time estimates)
- Prioritizing work items
- Auto-classifying incoming requests
- Building intelligent dispatchers

❌ **Avoid when:**
- Simple yes/no classification
- When ML-based classification is more appropriate
- Highly domain-specific scoring that requires expertise
