pull-complexity-down SKILL.md skillA
pull-complexity-down from codybrom/clairvoyance is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/pull-complexity-down@git:20260722.fcfda01Pins git:20260722.fcfda01 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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@sha256:b8b5ec47d6758179The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.fcfda01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
