design-smell-detector
Identify design quality issues in code including high coupling, low cohesion, God classes, long methods, and other code smells. Use when: (1) Reviewing code architecture and design quality, (2) Identifying refactoring opportunities, (3) Detecting God classes or classes with too many responsibilities, (4) Finding high coupling or low cohesion issues, (5) Analyzing code maintainability and technical debt. Detects coupling smells, cohesion problems, complexity issues, size violations, and encapsulation problems with actionable refactoring suggestions.

# Design Smell Detector
Identify and address design quality issues in code through automated smell detection and refactoring guidance.
## Quick Start
### Detect Design Smells
```bash
# Analyze a single file
python scripts/detect_smells.py src/app.py
# Analyze entire directory
python scripts/detect_smells.py src/
