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):
- [file:function] (complexity: X, target: [new]) - Line Y
- ...
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
