FAQPage Schema
How do I identify architectural friction in my codebase?▼

This skill identifies architectural friction by analyzing your codebase for shallow modules and testability issues. It uses your project's domain language to pinpoint areas needing refactoring, improving overall maintainability and AI navigability.

What is a deepening opportunity in software architecture?▼

A deepening opportunity is the process of refactoring shallow modules into deeper, more maintainable ones. This approach improves testability and reduces complexity by hiding implementation details behind better interfaces.

How do I refactor code to improve testability?▼

Refactor code to improve testability by identifying shallow modules and restructuring them into deeper modules with clear interfaces. This skill suggests targeted refactoring opportunities by analyzing your project's domain language and architectural principles.

Can I visualize architecture changes before and after refactoring?▼

Yes, you can visualize architecture changes before and after refactoring. This skill generates detailed HTML reports with visualizations that illustrate the structural improvements and the impact of the suggested refactoring opportunities.

Do I need to understand my project's domain language to analyze codebase architecture?▼

Yes, understanding your project's domain language is required to analyze codebase architecture effectively. This skill leverages your specific domain vocabulary and architectural principles to accurately identify friction and suggest relevant refactoring improvements.

What's the best way to find refactoring opportunities in a large codebase?▼

The best way to find refactoring opportunities in a large codebase is to scan for architectural friction and shallow modules. This skill analyzes your domain language to pinpoint specific areas where deepening modules will enhance testability and AI navigability.
