SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers identify shallow modules, architectural friction, and refactoring opportunities that improve codebase depth, testability, and AI navigability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Review: Explores a codebase to find seams, dependency issues, shallow modules, and deepening opportunities.
  • Visual Reporting: Creates a self-contained HTML report with before-and-after diagrams, candidate evaluations, and recommendations.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when reviewing a growing repository to discover which modules should be consolidated, deepened, or redesigned before implementing changes.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze the codebase architecture and generate a visual HTML review report with recommended deepening opportunities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify shallow modules and architectural friction in my codebase?

Architecture reviews pinpoint shallow modules by evaluating interface seams, dependency structures, and module depth. This analysis highlights refactoring opportunities that consolidate modules to reduce friction and improve testability.

What is the best way to visualize refactoring opportunities and technical debt?

The best way to visualize technical debt is by generating a self-contained HTML report featuring before-and-after diagrams. This visual report structures module evaluations and architectural recommendations for clear technical improvement planning.

How do I plan a codebase refactoring strategy before implementing changes?

Plan refactoring by analyzing module depth, leverage, and locality to find structural seams. This generates structured recommendations for redesigning or consolidating modules before implementing any code changes.

Does this architecture review work for any software engineering repository?

Architecture reviews apply to software engineering scenarios involving growing repositories. The analysis explores codebase structure to find dependency issues and deepening opportunities regardless of the specific platform.

When should I not use an automated architecture review for technical debt?

Avoid automated architecture reviews when you need to execute code changes directly. The review process is designed for planning and discovering refactoring opportunities, not for implementing the module modifications itself.
