SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive architectural review of codebases, ensuring thorough analysis and validation of architecture, modularity, seams, coupling, ownership, domain boundaries, AI-navigability, and testability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Review: Performs a deep, thorough review of architecture, identifying potential issues with modularity, coupling, and ownership.
  • Reviewer Candidate Generation: Generates candidate solutions for review, based on fresh-context Reviewer candidate generation.
  • Direct Validation: Validates reviewer output directly, without delegation to other subagents or recursive review chains.
  • Use Case: Ideal for when a user requires a detailed and high-confidence review of their codebase architecture, especially for complex systems.

Quick Start

Run the architecture-review-deep skill with the scope of the codebase you want to review.

FAQPage Schema
What is a deep architectural code review and when do I need one?▼

A deep architectural code review comprehensively analyzes codebase modularity, coupling, ownership, domain boundaries, and testability. You need one to validate structural integrity in complex systems and generate high-confidence candidate solutions.

How do I review codebase architecture for coupling and modularity issues?▼

Review codebase architecture for coupling and modularity by running a deep architecture review that identifies structural issues, generates Reviewer candidate solutions, and directly validates them without delegating to recursive subagent review chains.

Can I use this architecture review for complex systems with unclear boundaries?▼

Yes, this architecture review is suitable for complex systems, but it requires a clearly defined scope. Providing a specific review scope ensures accurate assessment of domain boundaries, ownership, and AI-navigability without losing structural focus.

What is the best way to validate architectural review findings without recursive delegation?▼

The best way to validate architectural findings without recursive delegation is direct validation, where the review process generates fresh-context Reviewer candidate solutions and validates the output directly rather than relying on subagent review chains.

What are the limitations of deep architectural code reviews?▼

The main limitation of deep architectural code reviews is the requirement for a clearly defined scope. Without a specific scope, the review may struggle to thoroughly analyze seams, ownership, and testability across complex codebases.
