guide-complexity

Use when code is written or changed that branches heavily, in any language: if/else or switch chains, type-check cascades, kind fields compared to strings, flag parameters, deep nesting. Produces the branching shaped before it lands, and the bar it must meet at merge. Not for auditing or reworking existing code (complexity-rework).

Guide: complexity

Applies to any code that adds or grows branching: a chain of conditions, a dispatch on a kind, a flag that changes what a function does, nesting past two levels.

Shaping step

  1. Before writing the branch, name what varies: the kinds, the cases.
  2. Put each case behind one shape: a table, a map of handlers, a type per kind, one function per flag value.
  3. Keep each function one level of decision; extract the rest.
  4. The branching already exists and is to be reworked: run the complexity-rework skill.

Ok at merge

  • No new chain of more than three conditions on the same value.
  • No kind compared to strings in more than one place; no boolean flag parameter.
  • Nesting at most two levels in the changed code.

aiview

Free

Use whenever a document is produced for the user to read and react to while it evolves: a brainstorm board, a plan, a design language, a prototype, a PR analysis, a review report, a live PDF. Also when a document must be registered, opened, listed, moved or retired, or a prototype's bindings checked. Not for code, tests or configuration, or any file nobody opens in a browser.

Ovich/swarmstorm13Updated Oct 29, 2026

Use when a person wants to think an idea through and keep the discussion: a feature, a tool choice, an architecture question, before a plan or without one, with the agent through an interview. Produces a board in aiview holding the decisions, the diagrams and what was investigated. Not for a swarm of seats working it (brainswarm), not for an implementation plan and not for bug fixes.

Ovich/swarmstorm13Updated Oct 29, 2026

Use when a person wants a swarm of role seats to work a topic on the swarm board under a chosen protocol: a brainstorm (ideas before any judgment), a debate (questions argued to decisions, a skeptic endorsing) or an editorial (one text drafted, read by seats standing for its readers, revised), a protocol or template the project keeps as a `protocol-<name>` skill (or an older `brainswarm-<name>` one), or a custom protocol recommended for the person's intent, or a seat's brief names a brainswarm protocol. Produces the run's record in aiview, written by the orchestrator alone. Not for one person thinking aloud with the agent (brainstorm, interview) and not for a plan's slices (execute-plan).

Ovich/swarmstorm13Updated Oct 29, 2026

Use when dispatched to cold-read a plan, as an agent that was not in the conversation that wrote it, to say whether it can be carried out from the document alone. Produces what the reader would build, its questions, and a verdict, ready or not ready, repeated as the writer fixes the plan. Not for judging the design (interview, pr-review), not for the mechanical checks (aiview plan check, tracker check), and not for writing the plan (write-plan).

Ovich/swarmstorm13Updated Oct 29, 2026

Use when code is hard to follow and is to be audited or reworked: long if/else or switch chains, cascades of type checks or parse attempts, kind fields compared to strings, flag parameters, deep nesting, a function hard to read. Also for complexity guardrails, or one long conditional function pasted. Produces a ranked audit of families, one family reworked behind characterization tests, or the guardrails.

Ovich/swarmstorm13Updated Oct 29, 2026

Use when a page is wanted to work on something with the person during development, fed the project's real data (comparing model answers, walking an agent call by call, measuring an output against its template), when such a workbench has to change, be reworked or its feed broke, or mid-session when turns went into aligning with the person on how to do a kind of work that recurs and real project data could show it. Produces the page in aiview, kind `workbench`, and the project's `workbench-<bench>` skill with its feed and operating steps. Not for designing a product screen (design-prototype) or verifying user stories (verification-skill-create).
