SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architectural “shallow” modules make it hard to understand behavior, write reliable tests, and safely refactor—this Skill helps you find the highest-leverage deepening opportunities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deepening opportunity discovery: identifies where complexity should move behind a smaller interface so changes concentrate in one place.
  • Architecture-first friction analysis: uses the project’s domain glossary and ADR decisions to avoid re-litigating prior choices.
  • Seam, adapter, and test-surface guidance: frames candidates using module/interface/seam vocabulary so the work results in better locality and leverage.
  • Interactive grilling loop: once you pick a candidate, the Skill interrogates constraints, dependencies, seams, and test strategy, then crystallizes decisions.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to explore your repository and list deepening candidates using module/interface/seam vocabulary, then choose one to grill for a concrete deepening plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about improve-codebase-architecture

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find refactoring opportunities in a tightly coupled codebase to improve testability?▼

To improve codebase testability, you explore the repository to identify deepening opportunities where complexity moves behind a smaller interface. This process analyzes architectural friction and shared domain vocabulary to concentrate changes locally.

What is a deepening opportunity in software architecture?▼

A deepening opportunity is an architectural refactoring target where complex behavior moves behind a smaller, dedicated interface. This improves module locality, makes code safer to refactor, and concentrates changes in one place.

How do I define module seams and testing strategy without prematurely proposing interfaces?▼

You define module seams by running an interactive grilling loop that interrogates constraints, dependencies, and test surfaces. This crystallizes an architecture and testing strategy while deliberately avoiding premature interface proposals.

Can I analyze architectural friction without re-litigating past technical decisions?▼

Yes, you can analyze architectural friction without re-litigating past decisions by using the project's domain glossary and ADR decisions. This architecture-first analysis respects prior choices while finding safer refactoring paths.

What is the best way to make an existing codebase easier to navigate and test?▼

The best way to make a codebase easier to navigate and test is finding deepening opportunities that reduce module coupling. By framing candidates using seam and adapter vocabulary, you achieve better locality and safer refactoring leverage.
