Cognitive complexity
Computes cognitive complexity per file and per function using the SonarSource method (2017). Unlike cyclomatic complexity, cognitive complexity measures how difficult code is to understand, penalizing deeply nested structures and rewarding linear control flow.
km cogcom [path]Options:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--format {table,json,short,terse,github,codeclimate} | Output format (default: table). github emits GitHub Actions annotations; codeclimate (alias: gitlab) emits CodeClimate JSON for GitLab Code Quality |
--include-tests | Include test files in analysis (excluded by default) |
--top N | Show only the top N files (default: 20) |
--min-complexity N | Skip files whose most complex function is below N; with --per-function, also hide functions below N (default: 1) |
--per-function | Show per-function breakdown |
--sort-by METRIC | Sort by total, max, or avg (default: total) |
