improve-codebase-architecture

Use inside coding-harness when the user wants to find architecture deepening opportunities, reduce shallow/pass-through modules, improve testability, or make the Codex-first harness easier for agents to navigate while staying aligned with docs/roadmap/north-star.md.

Quality

Content

93%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, lean instruction-only skill with strong actionability and clean progressive disclosure. The main gap is modest: validation in the workflow is a single density guard without an explicit fix-and-retry feedback loop.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validate-then-fix-retry loop in the Deepening Loop (e.g., run `pnpm skill:validate` after each candidate change and only proceed when it passes), to strengthen workflow_clarity toward 5.

Clarify what counts as passing the `pnpm skill:validate` density guard so the checkpoint is unambiguous rather than implicit.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout; it assumes Claude's competence, defines only project-specific vocabulary (module/interface/seam/depth) rather than basic concepts, and every section earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance throughout — specific file reads, a concrete "deletion test" heuristic ("if deleting the module removes complexity, it was pass-through"), explicit dependency categories, and a defined candidate-output schema; absence of code is appropriate for this instruction-only skill.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered five-step workflow plus a five-step deepening loop with a validation checkpoint ("pnpm skill:validate"), but validation is light (a single density guard) with no explicit error-recovery feedback loop for the candidate-grilling step.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized overview with a table of contents and clearly signaled one-level-deep references (language.md, deepening.md, interface-design.md, context-and-decisions.md), all of which exist as real bundle files.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly states both capability and trigger context. Its only weakness is that some trigger phrasing is jargon-heavy, which slightly narrows the audience who would naturally invoke it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions — "find architecture deepening opportunities," "reduce shallow/pass-through modules," "improve testability," "make the Codex-first harness easier for agents to navigate" — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's purpose.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both "what" (the four concrete actions) and "when" ("Use inside coding-harness when the user wants to...") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage ("improve testability," "reduce shallow/pass-through modules"), but some terms like "deepening opportunities" are specialized jargon a non-expert user would be less likely to say, leaving a few common synonyms missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche scoped to one harness and anchored to a specific north-star doc, with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
