pull-complexity-down skillA
pull-complexity-down is agent-read markdown (skill) from codybrom/clairvoyance: Checks whether complexity is pushed to callers or absorbed by implementations — the direction complexity flows. Use when callers must do significant setup, handle errors the module could resolve, or configure things they don't understand. Not for module depth (use deep-modules), knowledge leakage (use information-hiding), or exception strategy once an error must surface (use error-design)..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Pull Complexity Downwards Review Lens When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, focus the analysis on the specified file or module. Read the target code first, then apply the checks below. Evaluate whether complexity is absorbed into implementations or pushed up to callers. ## When to Apply - Designing or reviewing a module's interface - When callers must do significant setup or configuration - When callers handle errors or edge cases the module could handle internally - When configuration parameters are being added to an API - When evaluating decorator or wrapper patterns ## Core Principles ### The Core Asymmetry **One implementer, many callers. Complexity in the implementation is paid once. Complexity in the interface is paid by every caller.** (The same asymmetry underlies **deep-modules**' "Depth Principle" — applied there to overall interface depth, applied here to which side of the interface should absorb a given piece of complexity.) …

How to install
mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/pull-complexity-down@git:20260722.fcfda01mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/pull-complexity-down@sha256:b8b5ec47d6758179Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
