SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Find deepening opportunities in a codebase, informed by the domain language in CONTEXT.md and the decisions in docs/adr/. Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read domain glossary and ADRs to ground architecture decisions.
  • Identify shallow modules where depth (leverage) can be increased behind a stable interface.
  • Surface prioritized deepening candidates and provide rationale aligned with CONTEXT.md terminology.

Quick Start

Run an exploration pass to identify shallow modules and surface deepening opportunities in the codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions about improve-codebase-architecture

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

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

Identify shallow modules by scanning for low-leverage interfaces, then surface prioritized deepening candidates where complexity can be hidden behind a stable, well-factored interface to improve overall testability.

What is a deepening opportunity in software architecture?▼

A deepening opportunity is a shallow module that can be refactored to hide implementation complexity behind a stable interface, increasing its leverage and improving overall codebase testability and AI-navigability.

How do I improve codebase testability using interface-centric design?▼

Improve codebase testability by consolidating tightly-coupled modules into well-factored interfaces, applying the deletion test and one-adapter seam principles to isolate dependencies and increase module depth.

Can I use ADRs to inform codebase refactoring decisions?▼

Yes, you can read Architecture Decision Records in docs/adr/ alongside a domain glossary in CONTEXT.md to ground and align codebase refactoring decisions with established domain terminology.

When should I consolidate tightly-coupled modules during a refactoring?▼

Consolidate tightly-coupled modules during refactoring when shallow interfaces are identified, allowing you to increase module depth, satisfy interface-centric testing, and improve overall codebase navigability.
