Quality Audit

Comprehensive code quality analysis and technical debt assessment using the code-quality-specialist agent.

Usage

• /quality-analyze — Full code quality analysis (standard depth)
• /quality-analyze --quick --scope=current-pr — Pre-commit quality check
• /quality-analyze --comprehensive --format=refactoring-plan — Deep analysis with refactoring plan
• /quality-analyze --standard --format=json — CI/CD integration output
• /quality-analyze complexity — Legacy focus area (still supported)

Arguments

Depth Modes

• --quick — Complexity + critical code smells only (~5 min)
• --standard — Full analysis (default, ~15 min)
• --comprehensive — Include design patterns review (~30 min)

Scope Control

• --scope=current-pr — Only files changed in current PR
• --scope=recent-changes — Files changed since main branch
• --scope=module=<name> — Specific module/directory
• --scope=file=<path> — Single file
• --scope=entire — Full codebase (default)

Output Formats

• --format=report — Detailed technical report with code examples (default)
• --format=json — Structured JSON for CI/CD
• --format=summary — High-level summary with quality scores
• --format=refactoring-plan — Prioritized refactoring recommendations

Quality Thresholds

• --max-complexity=N — Report functions with cyclomatic complexity > N (default: 15)
• --min-grade=A|B|C — Report files below specified grade

Legacy Focus Areas (Still Supported)

complexity, debt, patterns, maintainability, standards

Environment Detection

Tier 1 — Portable (Claude Desktop, Codex, any environment)

When Task() or bash tools are unavailable, perform quality analysis directly:

1. Parse arguments — Determine depth, scope, format, complexity threshold, and grade
2. Identify files to analyze — Use Glob to find PHP, JS, TS files
3. Analyze code quality directly:
   • Use Read and Grep to count conditional branches and loops (cyclomatic complexity)
   • Identify long functions (> 50 lines), large classes, and duplicated code patterns
   • Check naming conventions and documentation presence
   • Review SOLID principle adherence (single responsibility, dependency injection)
   • Check CMS-specific patterns (Drupal dependency injection, WordPress hook over direct calls)
   • Identify code smells: magic numbers, deeply nested conditions, God objects
4. Generate report — Format findings per requested output format, with quality scores
5. Save report — Write to quality-analyze-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and present path to user

Supported checks in Tier 1: code pattern analysis, complexity estimation, naming conventions, CMS-specific quality patterns.

Tier 2 — Claude Code Enhanced

When running in Claude Code with Task() available:

1. Parse arguments — Determine depth, scope, format, and thresholds
2. Determine files — For --scope=current-pr:

   git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD | grep -E '\.(php|tsx?|jsx?)$'
   

   For --scope=recent-changes:

   git diff main...HEAD --name-only | grep -E '\.(php|tsx?|jsx?)$'
   

3. Spawn code-quality-specialist:

   Task(cms-cultivator:code-quality-specialist:code-quality-specialist,
        prompt="Analyze code quality and technical debt with:
          - Depth mode: {depth}
          - Scope: {scope}
          - Format: {format}
          - Max complexity: {max_complexity or 15}
          - Min grade: {min_grade or 'none'}
          - Focus area: {focus or 'complete analysis'}
          - Files to analyze: {file_list}
        Analyze complexity, assess technical debt, review design patterns, check maintainability, and apply CMS-specific standards for Drupal and WordPress. Save report to quality-analyze-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and present the file path.")
   

4. Present results to user with file path

Quality Dimensions

Code Complexity

• Cyclomatic complexity (target: ≤ 10 per function)
• Cognitive complexity (how hard to understand)
• Nesting depth (target: ≤ 4 levels)

Technical Debt

• Code smells (magic numbers, long methods, duplicated code)
• Anti-patterns (God objects, spaghetti code, tight coupling)
• Dead code and unused dependencies

Design Patterns

• SOLID principles adherence
• DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
• Separation of concerns
• Appropriate use of design patterns

CMS-Specific Standards

• Drupal: Drupal coding standards (PHPCS), dependency injection over \Drupal::, render arrays over raw HTML
• WordPress: WordPress coding standards, hooks over direct function calls, $wpdb->prepare() for queries
