FAQPage Schema
How do I identify shallow modules in my codebase for refactoring?

To identify shallow modules in your codebase, you need an architectural review that analyzes module dependencies and structural depth. This skill scans the codebase to pinpoint complex modules that lack proper encapsulation, making them difficult to navigate and test effectively.

What is the best way to improve codebase testability and maintainability?

Improving codebase testability involves finding refactoring opportunities that increase modularity and reduce deep dependency chains. This skill evaluates your architecture and suggests actionable structural changes to decouple modules, ensuring your code is easier to test and maintain long-term.

How do I perform an architectural review that suggests code improvements?

Performing an architectural review requires analyzing the codebase to understand module dependencies and detect structural concerns. This skill automates the exploration process, evaluating your code to provide actionable refactoring suggestions that target specific testability bottlenecks.

Does this codebase analysis tool require specific domain knowledge?

Yes, effective codebase analysis requires domain knowledge to accurately understand module dependencies and resolve architectural concerns. This skill relies on existing context about your software's design to correctly identify refactoring opportunities and suggest valid testability improvements.

Can I generate visual reports for codebase refactoring suggestions?

Yes, you can generate visual reports for codebase refactoring suggestions. This skill produces an HTML report that includes before and after diagrams, visually demonstrating how proposed architectural changes will improve module structure and testability.
