What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies shallow modules in a codebase and suggests ways to refactor them into deeper, more testable and maintainable modules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deepening Opportunities: Identify modules that can be refactored to increase depth and reduce complexity.
  • Domain-Specific Vocabulary: Uses a shared vocabulary to ensure consistent language across the codebase.
  • Visual Reports: Generates HTML reports with before/after diagrams to visualize architectural changes.

Quick Start

Use the improve-codebase-architecture skill to review the architecture of your codebase.

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

To identify shallow modules for refactoring, an architecture review analyzes your codebase to detect modules lacking depth and suggests changes to increase maintainability and reduce complexity.

What does it mean to deepen a module during an architecture review?

Deepening a module during an architecture review means refactoring it to increase its depth, making it more testable and maintainable by ensuring the interface simplifies complex underlying implementation.

Can I visualize architectural changes before and after refactoring my codebase?

You can visualize architectural refactoring changes using generated HTML reports that include before and after diagrams, helping you evaluate deepening opportunities and make informed architectural decisions.

Do I need to understand my codebase's domain language before reviewing its architecture?

Understanding your codebase's domain language and existing architectural decisions is required, as the review process uses domain-specific vocabulary to ensure consistent language across the refactored modules.

What is the best way to reduce complexity in a large codebase architecture?

The best way to reduce codebase complexity is to perform an architecture review that identifies deepening opportunities, pinpointing shallow modules to refactor into deeper, more maintainable structures.
