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

To identify architectural friction, you can analyze your codebase to surface cross-cutting dependencies and shallow modules. This process maps module boundaries and highlights tightly-coupled areas that reduce testability and AI-navigability.

What is the best way to generate refactoring ideas for improving testability?

The best way to generate refactoring ideas for improving testability is to apply module-deepening strategies to shallow components. This surfaces actionable, RFC-ready recommendations to consolidate tightly-coupled modules and clarify boundaries.

Can I use architecture analysis to create RFC-ready documentation for medium-to-large codebases?

Yes, you can use architecture analysis to create RFC-ready documentation for medium-to-large codebases. It identifies module-deepening opportunities and provides structured documentation prompts to frame actionable next steps for your team.

How do I map module boundaries and dependency structures for better codebase navigability?

You can map module boundaries and dependency structures by exploring the codebase to surface architectural friction. This boundary-aware analysis clarifies module design and improves both testability and AI-navigability for future development.

When should I consider refactoring to deepen shallow modules in my architecture?

You should consider refactoring to deepen shallow modules when your medium-to-large codebase experiences architectural friction. If tightly-coupled modules are hindering testability and AI-navigability, deepening strategies can consolidate boundaries effectively.
