SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Shallow modules and poorly defined interfaces hinder testability and AI-navigability in codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface architectural friction by analyzing module boundaries and interactions.
  • Propose targeted deepening efforts (interfaces, boundaries, and RFC-ready designs) to improve testability and maintainability.
  • Provide a workflow for creating RFCs and a problem-space framing to guide refactors.

Quick Start

Run the agent workflow to surface deepening opportunities in your codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve codebase architecture for better testability?

To improve codebase architecture for testability, you analyze module boundaries to identify shallow modules. This surfaces architectural friction and proposes targeted deepening efforts to refine interfaces for easier testing.

What is a shallow module and how does it affect codebase refactor planning?

A shallow module features poorly defined interfaces that hinder testability and AI navigability. It affects codebase refactor planning by creating architectural friction, requiring targeted deepening efforts to improve overall maintainability.

How do I create an RFC for a JavaScript codebase architecture review?

To create an RFC for a JavaScript architecture review, analyze module boundaries to produce a problem-space framing. This workflow generates a prioritized list of deepening candidates and interface design guidance suitable for GitHub RFC creation.

Can I use this architecture design review approach for medium-to-large TypeScript codebases?

Yes, you can apply this architecture design review approach to medium-to-large TypeScript codebases. The process specifically targets JavaScript and TypeScript environments to identify deepening opportunities and guide interface refactors.

What is the best way to plan a codebase refactor to improve modularity?

The best way to plan a codebase refactor for modularity is to surface architectural friction by analyzing module interactions. This yields a prioritized list of deepening candidates and RFC-ready designs to systematically guide your refactoring efforts.
