This Skill helps determine whether modules are divided in the right places, preventing shallow pass-through components, duplicated knowledge, and tightly coupled boundaries that make changes harder to understand and maintain.
Use the module-boundaries skill to review the architecture and boundary decisions in the specified file or module path.

To evaluate module boundaries, test merge and split signals to determine if related responsibilities should be combined or separated. You map shared knowledge, check for conjoined methods, and validate that boundaries enclose authoritative design decisions.
Repeated cross-module changes occur when module boundaries are drawn incorrectly, failing to fully enclose authoritative design decisions. This indicates tightly coupled boundaries where related responsibilities are split or duplicated knowledge exists.
Refactoring signals for separating modules include identifying conjoined methods, duplicated knowledge, and shallow pass-through components. You validate that genuine boundaries enclose distinct authoritative design decisions and fully own their shared information.
Merge modules during code review when boundaries contain tightly coupled responsibilities and duplicated knowledge. Testing merge signals helps determine if combining them creates a stronger boundary that better encloses authoritative design decisions.
A shallow pass-through component is a module boundary that does not enclose authoritative design decisions, instead merely routing shared information. It signals incorrect decomposition where responsibilities should likely be merged to simplify boundaries.
