🚀 New Tool: Code Complexity Analyzer (AI-powered)

🎯 Goal

Create a new tool that analyzes code complexity and suggests simplifications!

📋 Description

Build complexity-analyzer/ - a tool that:

• Scans code files
• Identifies complex functions (cyclomatic complexity, nesting)
• Uses Claude to suggest simplifications
• Shows before/after comparisons

💡 Example Usage

python analyze.py mycode.py

🔍 Found 3 complex functions:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Function: calculate_total (line 45)
Complexity: 12 (high)

💡 Suggestion:
Extract nested loops into separate functions
Consider using list comprehensions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔨 Implementation Ideas

1. Use radon or mccabe for complexity metrics
2. Parse code with ast module
3. Send complex code to Claude for analysis
4. Format suggestions nicely

📁 Structure

complexity-analyzer/
├── analyze.py (main script, <100 lines!)
├── README.md
└── examples/
    ├── before.py
    └── after.py

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Analyzes Python files (bonus: other languages)
• Identifies functions above complexity threshold
• AI suggestions are actionable
• Under 100 lines (excluding README)
• Clean terminal output
• Examples showing improvement

🎓 Learning Outcomes

• AST parsing
• Code quality metrics
• AI-powered refactoring
• CLI design
