To analyze a codebase for architectural friction, you evaluate module boundaries, interfaces, and dependencies. This process identifies tightly coupled components and generates structured candidates to refactor shallow modules into deeper, more testable structures.

Identifying shallow modules involves evaluating testing strategies and interface boundaries to reveal friction points. This analysis highlights areas where deepening modules can reduce coupling and make the system more navigable for AI and testing.

Yes, you can generate RFC frames directly from codebase analysis. The process proposes structured RFCs that define the problem space, establish problem ownership, and outline measurable outcomes for design discussions and refactors.

Yes, this architectural analysis is specifically applicable to medium-to-large repositories with tightly coupled components. It targets these environments to surface friction and generate deepening candidates for complex codebases.

You need to evaluate module boundaries and dependencies when your codebase experiences architectural friction and tightly coupled components. This evaluation is required to generate structured candidate lists and RFC framing for testability improvements.
