SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audit Go code for unnecessary structural complexity — duplication, avoidable abstractions, dead logic paths, over-parameterized APIs, deep nesting, interface pollution, channel misuse, and mixed concerns. Recommends the simplest shape that preserves intended behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify duplication across functions, packages, and tests.
  • Detect unnecessary abstractions and over-parameterized APIs to simplify maintenance.
  • Highlight complex control flow and channel/goroutine patterns that add cognitive load.
  • Use case: When preparing for refactors to reduce complexity before merging.

Quick Start

Run a code audit on your Go project to surface complexity hotspots and deduplication opportunities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce Go code complexity before a refactor?▼

To reduce Go code complexity, audit your project to identify duplication, dead code paths, and over-parameterized APIs. The audit prescribes behavior-preserving simplifications like inlining trivial wrappers and applying guard clauses.

What causes unnecessary structural complexity in Go concurrency?▼

Unnecessary structural complexity in Go concurrency stems from channel misuse and goroutine overuse. Auditing these patterns highlights cognitive load, prescribing the simplest shape that preserves intended behavior.

Can I detect interface pollution and mixed concerns in Go projects?▼

Yes, you can detect interface pollution and mixed concerns by running a structural code audit. It surfaces these specific complexity hotspots alongside deep nesting to simplify maintenance.

What is the best way to find duplication across Go packages and tests?▼

The best way to find duplication across Go packages and tests is a structural audit. It identifies duplicated logic across functions and tests, prescribing inlining trivial wrappers to deduplicate.

Does this Go code audit remove dead logic paths automatically?▼

The Go code audit detects dead logic paths and prescribes behavior-preserving simplifications. It prioritizes removing redundant abstractions and applying guard clauses to reduce structural complexity.
