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:
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
