Remarks

This analyzer provides detailed complexity metrics including readability scores, structural analysis, and recommendations for simplification.

For Beginners: Measures how complicated your prompt is.

Example:

var analyzer = new ComplexityAnalyzer();
var metrics = analyzer.Analyze(complexPrompt);

Console.WriteLine($"Complexity: {metrics.ComplexityScore:P0}");
// 0% = very simple, 100% = very complex

// Access detailed breakdown:
if (metrics is ExtendedPromptMetrics extended)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Readability: {extended.ReadabilityScore:F1}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Nesting depth: {extended.NestingDepth}");
}

High complexity might mean:

• Difficult for AI to understand
• Higher chance of misinterpretation
• May need simplification
