## Activation Contract Load this skill when reviewing refactor plans for: complexity, Big O, cyclomatic, nested loops, queries in loops. ## Hard Rules - Flag high cyclomatic complexity, nested branches, loops, repeated scans, O(n²), and queries in loops. - Discuss Big O only when collections, algorithms, or repeated queries exist. - Avoid micro-optimizations without evidence; prioritize readability unless performance risk is real. - Preserve observable behavior; label functional changes as follow-up. - Require evidence for every recommendation, or mark it as a hypothesis. ## Decision Gates | Signal | Action | |---|---| | Concrete evidence exists | Create a finding with file, lines, symbol, benefit, validation, and rollback. | | Evidence is incomplete | Mark as hypothesis and lower confidence. | | Recommendation is cosmetic or speculative | Omit it unless maintainability benefit is clear. | ## Execution Steps 1. Inspect the target and nearby tests only as needed for this lens. 2. Identify findings that match this skill's responsibility. 3. Recommend the smallest safe behavior-preserving refactor. 4. Add validation and rollback steps for each recommendation. ## Output Contract Return structured findings for the calling reviewer. Return `no_findings` when this lens has no material issue. ## References None.
