SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill unit helps enforce and document the architecture boundaries of a codebase, ensuring a consistent and maintainable code structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define Architecture Boundaries: Set allowed and forbidden dependencies and cross-cutting utility patterns.
  • Mechanical Checks: Implement scripts for enforcing architectural constraints in the codebase.
  • Documentation: Generate architecture and boundary documentation for easier understanding and maintenance.
  • Validation: Run checks to ensure the codebase adheres to defined boundaries.
  • Use Case: When you need to ensure that the codebase follows specific architectural patterns and dependency rules.

Quick Start

Run the check-boundaries script to validate the current architecture against the defined boundaries.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce architecture boundaries in a TypeScript codebase?

Enforce architecture boundaries in TypeScript by configuring dependency-cruiser and ESLint rules to validate allowed and forbidden dependencies. This Skill generates mechanical checks and documentation scripts to ensure your codebase structure adheres to defined constraints.

Can I use import-linter to enforce dependency rules in a Python codebase?

Yes, you can enforce dependency rules in a Python codebase using import-linter. This Skill configures custom scripts and import-linter constraints to validate architectural compliance and prevent unauthorized cross-boundary dependencies.

What is the best way to document codebase architecture and dependency constraints?

Document codebase architecture by defining allowed dependencies and cross-cutting utility patterns, then generating boundary documentation mechanically. This Skill automates validation and produces architecture docs to maintain consistent code structure.

How do I run a validation check to ensure my codebase follows dependency rules?

Run the check-boundaries script to validate your current codebase structure against defined architecture boundaries. This mechanical check analyzes your source code and dependency configurations to identify structural violations.

Does this architecture enforcement approach work with both JavaScript and Python?

Yes, architecture boundary enforcement works with both JavaScript and Python. The Skill utilizes TypeScript tools like dependency-cruiser and ESLint alongside Python tools like import-linter to apply dependency constraints across multi-language codebases.
