SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It identifies shallow, tightly-coupled modules and the architectural friction between them, then proposes how to merge or deepen them so the codebase is easier to understand, maintain, and test.

Core Features & Use Cases

Shallow-module detection: Scans for modules that delegate without adding clear value and create brittle seams.
Deepening candidate design: Proposes a cleaner, more durable interface that hides internal complexity while clarifying responsibilities.
Dependency classification for testability: Classifies dependencies (in-process, local-substitutable, ports & adapters, mock) to align design choices with testing strategy.
Before/after testing plan: Recommends boundary tests to add and shallow tests to remove, following a replace-not-layer philosophy.
Use case: When an Angular/TypeScript codebase has many small modules that bounce logic across boundaries, this skill produces a consolidated interface design and a test plan that reduces integration risk.

Quick Start

Ask to analyze your repository architecture for shallow module boundaries and produce a markdown file of deepening proposals.

FAQPage Schema

How do I fix a codebase with shallow, tightly-coupled module boundaries?▼

Fix shallow, tightly-coupled module boundaries by scanning for modules that delegate without adding value, then proposing how to deepen them into coherent interfaces that hide internal complexity.

What is the best way to reduce coupling and improve codebase architecture?▼

Reduce coupling by analyzing shallow modules and proposing deeper module boundaries, applying dependency classification to align structural design choices with a targeted testing strategy.

How does dependency classification for testability work?▼

Dependency classification for testability works by categorizing dependencies into in-process, local-substitutable, ports & adapters, and mock types to align architectural design choices with your testing strategy.

How do I create a testing plan when refactoring module boundaries?▼

Create a testing plan when refactoring module boundaries by recommending boundary tests to add and identifying shallow tests to remove, following a replace-not-layer philosophy to reduce integration risk.

Can I analyze an Angular or TypeScript codebase for architectural friction?▼

Yes, you can analyze an Angular or TypeScript codebase to identify small modules that bounce logic across boundaries, producing a consolidated interface design and a boundary-test plan.

When do I need an architecture review for shallow module boundaries?▼

You need an architecture review when shallow module boundaries create integration risk, make navigation difficult, or cause tightly-coupled modules to produce brittle seams that hinder maintainability.
