improve-architecture

Audit an area of the codebase and propose the smallest structural moves that improve it - untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles. Produces a prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite. Use when a codebase feels tangled, hard to change, or is becoming a ball of mud, or when asked to improve or refactor architecture.

Content

86%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.

The body is a tight, well-structured diagnostic workflow that assumes Claude's intelligence and gives concrete pointers and decision-record conventions. It is strong across all dimensions; the only soft spot is the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop in the workflow, which is advisory rather than destructive so does not warrant a cap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout: terse numbered method, compact guardrails, and a one-paragraph output spec, with no padding that explains concepts Claude already knows. Every section earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Instruction-only skill with concrete, specific guidance ('Reuse `module-map` for the one-screen view,' 'write a decision record in `docs/decisions/NNNN-slug.md`: context, choice, alternatives rejected, why') and enumerated strain patterns; not copy-paste code but actionable per the code-vs-instruction note, with minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence (Map, Find strain, Propose smallest move, Rank by leverage, Record big calls) with checkpoints like pairing with `tdd` and a user-approval gate; the destructive/batch cap does not apply since the skill explicitly forbids code changes, but there is no explicit error-recovery feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines, single-purpose, with well-organized Method/Guardrails/Output sections and one-level sibling-skill references (`module-map`, `domain-modeling`, `tdd`); the simple-skill exception applies and no bundle files exist to misorganize.

Description

83%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.

The description is strong: third-person voice, explicit 'Use when' triggers covering both what and when, and concrete enumerated actions. It falls just short of top marks on specificity and trigger coverage, which are strong but not exhaustive.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete actions ('untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles') plus output artifacts ('prioritized plan and decision records'), but the actions are verb-phrases rather than the fully concrete, enumerated set of a 5-anchor example.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what (audit + propose smallest structural moves, prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite) and when (an explicit 'Use when...' clause with concrete trigger conditions).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural user phrases ('tangled,' 'hard to change,' 'becoming a ball of mud,' 'improve or refactor architecture'); a few common synonyms like 'coupling' or 'spaghetti' are missing, keeping it just below a 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (diagnosing and planning structural improvements to tangled codebases) with distinct triggers; minor overlap risk remains with a generic refactoring skill.
