Frequently Asked Questions about improve-codebase-architecture

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

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

Codebase refactoring identifies shallow modules by scanning for architectural friction and generating an HTML report with before/after diagrams showing deepening opportunities to enhance testability and maintainability.

What is architectural deepening and when do I need it?▼

Architectural deepening improves codebase structure by suggesting ways to deepen modules. You need it when modern codebases face architectural concerns, requiring a shared design vocabulary to resolve structural friction and enhance maintainability.

Can I visualize codebase architecture before and after refactoring?▼

Yes, visualizing codebase architecture before and after refactoring generates an HTML report with diagrams. These visual reports map deepening opportunities and describe suggested refactoring strategies with varying recommendation strength.

Does architecture review work for modern codebases with structural concerns?▼

Architecture review applies to modern codebases with structural concerns by analyzing for deepening opportunities. It requires a shared design vocabulary and understanding of code structure to generate actionable refactoring strategies.

What's the best way to get interactive feedback on codebase analysis suggestions?▼

The best way to get interactive feedback on codebase analysis suggestions is using a grilling loop for further exploration and refinement. This provides customizable recommendations with varying strength based on impact and feasibility of refactoring strategies.

When should I not use automated architecture review tools?▼

Automated architecture review tools should not be used when a codebase lacks a shared design vocabulary or clear structural understanding. Without foundational design context, the generated refactoring suggestions may lack actionable relevance.
