DEPTH Methodology Installer - Ousterhout-First Development for Claude Code

# DEPTH Complexity Allocate Command

## Purpose
Push complexity downward into modules and away from interfaces following Ousterhout's information hiding principle.

## Phase: Complexity-Allocation (P)

### Input
- Simplified interfaces from Interface-Simplification phase
- System architecture requirements
- Performance constraints

### Process
1. **Complexity Analysis**: Identify all system complexity
2. **Allocation Strategy**: Plan where to push complexity
3. **Module Design**: Design deep modules to contain complexity
4. **Information Hiding**: Hide implementation details

### Quality Gates
- [ ] Complexity allocation plan documented
- [ ] Information hiding strategy defined
- [ ] Module boundaries clearly defined
- [ ] Implementation details hidden from users

### Ousterhout Principles Applied
- **Information Hiding**: Hide complex implementation details
- **Deep Modules**: Create modules with simple interfaces, complex implementations
- **Pull Complexity Downward**: Push complexity into lower-level modules

### Complexity Allocation Strategies
- **Validation**: Hide in deep validation modules
- **Error Handling**: Centralize in error management modules
- **Optimization**: Hide in performance-focused modules
- **Configuration**: Hide in configuration management modules

### Output
- Complexity allocation plan
- Module design specifications
- Information hiding documentation
- Interface-to-implementation mapping

### Next Phase
Hand off allocation plan to Investment Planner for strategic review.
