ripwire-layers from redhat-et/ripwire is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Architecture HEALTH and ENFORCEMENT — 'is this a dependency mess / does the UI reach into the database / enforce module boundaries in CI?': cycles, the godfile, propagation cost (how far a touch ripples), --arch rules with a baseline gate. Overview without gating → orient. One pass answers it.
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
# Layers with ripwire > Nearest neighbours: > • You want the file→file dependency graph itself (not a health read) → `--deps` is step 2 below, or > go straight to it if you already know you want godfiles/cycles. > • Reviewing YOUR OWN diff for coupling risk, not a repo-wide sweep → **ripwire-change-check**. > • Unfamiliar subsystem, general risk sweep (not architecture-specific) → **ripwire-fresh-eyes**. Trigger: you want a factual picture of architectural health before a large refactor, or you're reviewing whether the codebase is trending toward or away from clean layering. `<dir>` = repo root. Every metric below has a NUMBER → THRESHOLD → ACTION — don't stop at reporting it. 1. **Layering rules** (if a rules file exists) — `ripwire <dir> --arch=rules.txt` Output: `<arch>` with violations listed by layer pair and file. Exit 2 = NEW violations found (CI gate). If no rules file exists yet, this step is the prompt to write one (grammar: `layer NAME = substr…`, `deny FROM -> TO`, `allow FROM -> TO`; `#` comments). **Action**: every violation is a concrete edge to either fix (remove the dependency) or …

How to install
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/ripwire-layers@sha256:3524d3bcacad5220The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.5b44124, 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.
