|-----------|-------|--------|
| Structure & Organization | 20/25 | Good |
| Readability | 16/20 | Good |
| Error Handling | 18/20 | Excellent |
| Testing & Maintainability | 18/20 | Excellent |
| Patterns & Best Practices | 14/15 | Excellent |
| **Total** | **82/100** | **Good** |

#### ✅ Strengths

- **Comprehensive error handling** - 16 instances of proper error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf` and `%w`
- **Excellent logging** - 33 debug log statements with contextual information
- **Strong test coverage** - Nearly 2,000 lines of tests covering edge cases
- **Clear function organization** - Helper functions grouped logically (dependency checking, job building, memory management)
- **Consistent naming** - Functions follow clear naming patterns (`build*`, `get*`, `*JobWrapper`)

#### ⚠️ Issues Identified

1. **File Size (Medium Priority)**
   - Current: 524 lines
   - Recommendation: Good size, but approaching upper limit
   - Consider extracting memory management functions (lines 238-341) if file grows further

2. **Function Length (Low Priority)**
   - `buildCustomJobs()` is 151 lines (lines 352-504)
   - Recommendation: Extract reusable workflow configuration parsing into helper functions
   - Suggested helpers:
     - `extractJobNeeds()` - Extract needs dependencies
     - `extractJobPermissions()` - Extract and format permissions
     - `extractReusableWorkflowConfig()` - Extract uses/with/secrets

3. **Documentation Gaps (Low Priority)**
   - Complex functions like `buildMemoryManagementJobs()` could benefit from usage examples
   - Document the relationship between pre-activation, activation, and custom jobs

#### 💡 Recommendations

1. **Refactor `buildCustomJobs()`** - Split into smaller, focused helper functions
2. **Add inline documentation** - Explain dependency ordering logic for custom jobs
3. **Consider extracting** - Memory management job building (lines 238-341) into separate file

#### 📊 Analysis Details

```
Function Count: 16
Helper Functions (Compiler methods): 14
Package-level Functions: 2
Logging Statements: 33
Error Wrapping: 16/23 error returns (70%)

### 3. `compiler_yaml.go` - Score: 80/100 ✅

**Rating**: Good  
**Size**: 643 lines  
**Git Hash**: `4e1524fe46c8...`  
**Test Coverage**: 1,239 test lines (1.93x ratio)

#### Scores Breakdown

| Dimension | Score | Rating |
|-----------|-------|--------|
| Structure & Organization | 19/25 | Good |
| Readability | 15/20 | Acceptable |
| Error Handling | 16/20 | Good |
| Testing & Maintainability | 18/20 | Excellent |
| Patterns & Best Practices | 13/15 | Excellent |
| **Total** | **80/100** | **Good** |

#### ✅ Strengths

- **Strong test coverage** - 1,239 test lines covering YAML generation edge cases
- **Consistent logging** - 19 debug log statements with workflow context
- **Clean separation** - Header, body, and detail generation separated into focused functions
- **Good error handling** - Error wrapping with context (4/4 error returns wrapped)
- **ANSI code sanitization** - Proactive cleaning of terminal escape codes from YAML output

#### ⚠️ Issues Identified

1. **Function Complexity (Medium Priority)**
   - `generatePrompt()` is 139 lines (lines 237-376)
   - Recommendation: Extract prompt section builders into separate functions
   - Suggested refactoring:
     - `processImportedMarkdown()` - Handle imported markdown with inputs
     - `generateRuntimeImportMacros()` - Generate runtime-import directives
     - `extractExpressionsFromWorkflow()` - Expression extraction logic

2. **Readability Concerns (Medium Priority)**
   - High YAML string manipulation (85 `yaml.WriteString()` calls)
   - Consider using YAML struct marshaling for complex sections
   - Example: `generateCreateAwInfo()` (lines 402-555, 154 lines) could use struct-based generation

3. **Documentation (Low Priority)**
   - Missing documentation for `splitContentIntoChunks()` edge cases
   - Complex expression extraction logic needs inline comments

#### 💡 Recommendations

1. **Refactor `generatePrompt()`** - Split into 4-5 focused helper functions
2. **Consider struct-based YAML** - Use Go structs with YAML tags for sections like `generateCreateAwInfo()`
3. **Add examples** - Document chunk splitting behavior with examples
4. **Extract constants** - Magic numbers (20900, 10 spaces) should be named constants
