SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies shallow modules in a codebase and suggests refactoring opportunities to improve architecture, testability, and AI-navigability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface Deepening Opportunities: Recommends refactors that turn shallow modules into deep ones.
  • Domain and ADR Informed: Grounded in the project's domain model and ADRs.
  • Flexible Scope: Can be run on a specific module or the entire codebase.
  • Teaching Mode: Interactive tutorial for engineers new to deepening.

Quick Start

Run the skill with the default mode to analyze the entire codebase: /dekspec:analyze-module-depth

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify shallow modules for refactoring in my codebase?

To identify shallow modules for refactoring, you can analyze module depth across your codebase to surface opportunities that turn shallow modules into deep ones, improving architecture and testability.

What is a shallow module in software architecture?

A shallow module in software architecture is a component with a low depth ratio, offering limited abstraction. Analyzing module depth helps identify these structures to recommend refactoring opportunities that improve testability and AI-navigability.

How to analyze codebase architecture using domain models and ADRs?

Analyze codebase architecture by running a module depth assessment grounded in your project's domain glossary and Architecture Decision Records. This grounds the refactoring recommendations in your actual domain model constraints and decisions.

Can I run a module depth analysis on a specific module instead of the whole codebase?

Yes, you can run module depth analysis on a specific module instead of the entire codebase. The flexible scope allows targeting individual components or running a comprehensive architecture analysis across the whole project.

Do I need ADRs and a domain model to find refactoring opportunities?

You need access to the codebase and an understanding of your domain model and ADRs to accurately find refactoring opportunities. This context grounds the module depth analysis and ensures refactoring recommendations align with architectural decisions.

What is the best way to improve codebase testability and AI-navigability through refactoring?

The best way to improve testability and AI-navigability is to analyze module depth and refactor shallow modules into deep ones. This approach leverages your domain model to recommend targeted architectural improvements.
