SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of large, monolithic Python packages by providing a structured methodology to decompose them into smaller, independent, and more manageable projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Modeling: Analyzes and visualizes package dependencies to identify coupling points.
  • Architecture Design: Guides the design of new project boundaries and public APIs.
  • Phased Refactoring: Implements a step-by-step refactoring process within the monorepo to prepare for the split.
  • Structural Split Execution: Moves code into new project directories while preserving Git history.
  • Verification: Ensures each new project is independently installable and testable.
  • Use Case: A large internal Python library has become difficult to maintain. Use this Skill to break it down into several smaller, focused libraries, each with its own lifecycle and dependencies.

Quick Start

Run the pythonpackagesevere skill on the current directory to decompose the Python package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split a large monolithic Python package into smaller independent projects?

To split a monolithic Python package, you analyze dependencies, design target architectures, refactor code in-place, move files into new project directories, and verify each resulting project's integrity and testability.

What is the best way to decompose a Python monorepo while preserving Git history?

Decomposing a Python monorepo while preserving Git history involves a phased structural split methodology that executes the split by moving code into new project directories without losing existing version control records.

When should I consider breaking down an internal Python library into focused sub-projects?

You should break down an internal Python library when the monolithic package becomes difficult to maintain and you need smaller, focused libraries with independent lifecycles and dependencies.

How do I identify coupling points before refactoring a monolithic Python package?

To identify coupling points before refactoring, you use dependency modeling to analyze package dependencies and visualize the structural connections within the monolithic Python codebase.

Does splitting a Python package ensure the new projects are independently testable?

Splitting a Python package includes a verification phase that ensures each new project is independently installable and testable after the structural split execution is complete.

What is phased refactoring and how does it prepare a Python package for a structural split?

Phased refactoring implements a step-by-step process within the monorepo to design new project boundaries and public APIs, preparing the codebase for the final structural split.
