Agent Skills: Lower Code Complexity

This skill should be used when reducing the code complexity threshold of the codebase. It lowers the CyclomaticComplexity threshold by 2, identifies methods that exceed the new limit, generates a brief with refactoring strategies, and creates a plan with tasks to fix all violations.

Description
This skill should be used when reducing the cognitive complexity threshold of the codebase. It lowers the threshold by 2, identifies functions that exceed the new limit, generates a brief with refactoring strategies, and creates a plan with tasks to fix all violations.

Lower Code Complexity

Reduces the cognitive complexity threshold by 2 and fixes all violations.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

  1. Read current threshold from eslint config (cognitive-complexity rule)
  2. Calculate new threshold: current - 2 (e.g., 15 -> 13)
  3. Run lint with the new threshold to find violations: 
    bun run lint 2>&1 | grep "cognitive-complexity"
  4. Note for each violation:
    • File path and line number
    • Function name
    • Current complexity score

If no violations at new threshold, report success and exit.

Step 2: Compile Brief and Delegate

Compile the gathered information into a structured brief:

Reduce cognitive complexity threshold from [current] to [new].

Functions exceeding threshold (ordered by complexity):
1. [file:function] (complexity: X, target: [new]) - Line Y
2. ...

Configuration change: [eslint config path], cognitive-complexity from [current] to [new]

Refactoring strategies: extract functions, early returns, extract conditions, use lookup tables

Verification: `bun run lint 2>&1 | grep "cognitive-complexity" | wc -l` → Expected: 0

Invoke /plan-execute with this brief to create the implementation plan.
