To detect SOLID, DRY, and KISS violations during code review, scan the module for multiple responsibilities and duplicated logic, then apply concrete detection patterns to identify specific design flaws and technical debt.

The best refactoring patterns for technical debt remediation target specific violations of SOLID, DRY, YAGNI, and KISS principles, providing concrete guidance to restructure code, eliminate duplication, and simplify complex modules.

You need to enforce software engineering principles during code reviews, architectural planning, and debt remediation to prevent technical debt, ensure maintainability, and guide teams in writing scalable, clean code.

Yes, you can use these engineering standards for architectural planning to evaluate module responsibilities against SOLID, DRY, YAGNI, and KISS principles, ensuring disciplined design and scalable code structure before implementation.

To scan a module with multiple responsibilities, load the engineering standards guidelines to identify violations of SOLID and KISS principles, then apply the suggested refactoring patterns from the references catalog to improve code quality.

YAGNI applies to technical debt remediation by identifying unnecessary functionality that adds complexity, helping teams enforce disciplined design and remove unused code components during refactoring sessions.
