SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill helps prevent bugs caused by overlooked impacts when code changes span multiple architectural layers, ensuring all related data flows, constants, and imports remain consistent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-layer data flow verification: Checks read/write paths across API, service, database, UI, and utilities.
  • Code reuse analysis: Detects duplicated constants or utilities and suggests centralization.
  • Import path validation: Ensures correct import statements and avoids circular dependencies when adding new files.
  • Same-layer consistency checks: Aligns similar concepts within the same layer for uniform behavior.
  • Use case: After modifying a shared configuration that touches API, service, and UI, run this skill to verify all layers and related files are updated correctly.

Quick Start

Run the cross-layer check on the current repository to identify any missed updates or inconsistencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify code consistency when changes span multiple architectural layers?

To verify cross-layer code consistency, you need to validate data flow paths, import statements, and shared constants across API, service, and UI layers. This check detects missed updates and inconsistencies after modifying shared configurations or batch files.

What is the best way to prevent circular dependencies when adding new utility files?

Preventing circular dependencies requires import path validation across your architectural layers. This process ensures correct import statements and verifies that new files do not create conflicting data flow paths or duplicated constants within the codebase.

How do I check if duplicated constants exist across different project layers?

Checking for duplicated constants involves running a code reuse analysis across your architectural layers. This detects repeated utilities or shared configurations and suggests centralizing them to maintain cross-layer consistency and prevent divergent behavior.

When do I need to run cross-layer validation on my repository?

You need cross-layer validation after modifying shared constants, configs, batch files, or creating new utilities that affect three or more architectural layers. It confirms that all related data flows, imports, and same-layer behaviors remain aligned.

Does this cross-layer check work without any external dependencies?

Yes, the cross-layer validation process runs without requiring any external dependencies or components. It directly analyzes your repository's code changes, import paths, and data flow to identify inconsistencies across architectural layers.

Why does updating a shared configuration cause bugs in unrelated UI or service files?

Updating shared configurations causes bugs when cross-layer data flow paths are not fully verified. Same-layer consistency checks and import validation are needed to ensure all related files across API, service, database, and UI layers are updated correctly.
