SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive architectural review of codebases, ensuring thorough analysis and validation of architecture, modularity, seams, coupling, ownership, domain boundaries, AI-navigability, and testability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Review: Performs a deep, thorough review of architecture, identifying potential issues with modularity, coupling, and ownership.
  • Reviewer Candidate Generation: Generates candidate solutions for review, based on fresh-context Reviewer candidate generation.
  • Direct Validation: Validates reviewer output directly, without delegation to other subagents or recursive review chains.
  • Use Case: Ideal for when a user requires a detailed and high-confidence review of their codebase architecture, especially for complex systems.

Quick Start

Run the architecture-review-deep skill with the scope of the codebase you want to review.

FAQPage Schema
What is a deep architectural code review and when do I need one?

A deep architectural code review comprehensively analyzes codebase modularity, coupling, ownership, domain boundaries, and testability. You need one to validate structural integrity in complex systems and generate high-confidence candidate solutions.

How do I review codebase architecture for coupling and modularity issues?

Review codebase architecture for coupling and modularity by running a deep architecture review that identifies structural issues, generates Reviewer candidate solutions, and directly validates them without delegating to recursive subagent review chains.

Can I use this architecture review for complex systems with unclear boundaries?

Yes, this architecture review is suitable for complex systems, but it requires a clearly defined scope. Providing a specific review scope ensures accurate assessment of domain boundaries, ownership, and AI-navigability without losing structural focus.

What is the best way to validate architectural review findings without recursive delegation?

The best way to validate architectural findings without recursive delegation is direct validation, where the review process generates fresh-context Reviewer candidate solutions and validates the output directly rather than relying on subagent review chains.

What are the limitations of deep architectural code reviews?

The main limitation of deep architectural code reviews is the requirement for a clearly defined scope. Without a specific scope, the review may struggle to thoroughly analyze seams, ownership, and testability across complex codebases.
