    Example session with this skill installed

    Audit process_order in order_service.js for cognitive load and simplify the nested conditionals.

    About this skill

    Teaches AI coding agents to systematically reduce code complexity by identifying and refactoring high-cognitive-load patterns: deeply nested conditionals, god functions, excessive state mutations, tangled control flow, and over-abstracted indirection. For senior engineers maintaining legacy codebases who need AI agents to simplify rather than entrench.
