SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps scenario change paths localized, cheap, and low-risk by auditing existing structure, identifying primary axes of change, and guiding refactors so future edits avoid shotgun surgery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Axis Discovery: Read the scenario requirements and seams documentation to identify the workflows, integrations, policies, and UI flows most susceptible to evolution.
  • Change Topography Mapping: Inspect the current implementation to reveal which files and modules each axis currently touches, highlighting dispersed responsibilities and fragile cross-cutting concerns.
  • Structural Localization: Introduce clear extension points, mapping tables, or focused handlers so each axis has obvious change targets and stable cores remain untouched.
  • Test and Documentation Hardening: Create behavior-driven tests that capture variation across axes and update the Change Axes documentation so engineers understand where to edit safely.
  • Use Case: Before modifying a prompt manager scenario, run this audit to document how each proposed workflow or integration change can be confined to dedicated modules.

Quick Start

Run a change axis and evolution resilience audit by reviewing the scenario seams doc, tracing current implementation impact, and documenting clear extension points.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit codebase structure to localize change points and avoid shotgun surgery?

To audit codebase structure for localized change points, review seams documentation, scenario PRDs, and tests to map workflows and integrations. This identifies primary axes of change, revealing dispersed responsibilities so future edits avoid shotgun surgery.

What is a change axis in software architecture and when do I need to map it?

A change axis in software architecture represents a workflow, integration, or policy susceptible to evolution. You need to map it when modifying prompt manager scenarios to ensure structural changes remain confined to dedicated modules and stable cores stay untouched.

How do I identify extension points for scenario changes before refactoring?

Identify extension points by inspecting current implementation topography to reveal which files each change axis touches. Introduce clear mapping tables or focused handlers so each axis has obvious change targets, keeping scenario edits cheap and safe.

Can I use behavior-driven tests to harden codebase evolution resilience?

Yes, you can create behavior-driven tests that capture variation across change axes to harden evolution resilience. Pairing these tests with updated Change Axes documentation ensures engineers understand exactly where to safely edit scenario workflows and integrations.

Does prompt manager scenario planning require seams documentation for structural audits?

Yes, prompt manager scenario planning requires seams documentation for structural audits. Reviewing seams docs alongside scenario PRDs and tests is necessary to keep extension points obvious and ensure workflow changes remain localized during codebase evolution.

Best way to keep scenario changes cheap and low-risk during codebase evolution?

The best way to keep scenario changes cheap and low-risk is running a change axis and evolution resilience audit. Tracing implementation impact and documenting clear extension points confines modifications to dedicated modules, preventing fragile cross-cutting concerns.
