FAQ
How does this skill improve my AI coding workflow?
By standardizing task assessment, it leads to better, more automated decisions. It can inform which AI model to use (e.g., fast Haiku for simple tasks, powerful Opus for complex ones), improving both cost and quality.
When should I use this skill?
Use this skill at the beginning of a new task or when planning a project. The score helps decide whether to start coding immediately, enter a detailed planning phase, or select the most appropriate AI model for the job.
What does the Complexity Scoring skill do?
It provides a standardized framework to score the complexity of a software development task on a 1-5 scale (Trivial to Major). It uses a clear set of criteria and factors to calculate a consistent score for better planning.
What capabilities does it provide?
The skill includes a defined 1-5 scale, checklists of factors that increase or decrease complexity, a step-by-step scoring process, quick-reference examples, and clear guidance on using the score for planning and model selection.
