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

Read current threshold from eslint config (cognitive-complexity rule)
Calculate new threshold: current - 2 (e.g., 15 -> 13)
Run lint with the new threshold to find violations:
bash
```
bun run lint 2>&1 | grep "cognitive-complexity"
```
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-create

with this brief to create the implementation plan.
