coupling-analysis from amey-thakur/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Measure and manage coupling with afferent/efferent metrics, change amplification, and one-way dependency rules. Use when a codebase is hard to change safely or you are deciding where to draw module boundaries.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Coupling analysis How hard a system is to change safely is mostly a function of its coupling: how much one part must know about another, and how far a change ripples. Good architecture is not about eliminating coupling (impossible) but directing it: toward stable things, in one direction, across as few boundaries as possible. ## Method 1. **Measure the two directions.** Afferent coupling (how many things depend on this module: its responsibility) and efferent coupling (how many things this module depends on: its fragility). A module with high afferent coupling must be stable (many depend on it); a module with high efferent coupling is hard to change (it breaks when any dependency does). Tools compute these; the numbers name your risky modules. 2. **Point dependencies toward stability.** Stable, abstract things (interfaces, core domain: see domain-driven-design) are depended upon; volatile, concrete things (UI, external integrations) depend outward and are depended on by nothing (the dependency-inversion instinct: see layered-architecture, hexagonal-architecture). A stable module depending on a volatile one is inverted and will churn. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/coupling-analysis@sha256:237fe5e4fdcc9421The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.67d6135, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
