improve-codebase-architecture SKILL.md skillA

improve-codebase-architecture from danny-avila/librechat is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add danny-avila/librechat/improve-codebase-architecture@git:20260812.ee8c0ab

Pins git:20260812.ee8c0ab in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.

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

# Improve Codebase Architecture

Surface architectural friction and propose **deepening opportunities** — refactors that turn shallow modules into deep ones. The aim is testability and AI-navigability.

This command is _informed_ by the project's domain model and built on a shared design vocabulary:

- Run the `/codebase-design` skill for the architecture vocabulary (**module**, **interface**, **depth**, **seam**, **adapter**, **leverage**, **locality**) and its principles (the deletion test, "the interface is the test surface", "one adapter = hypothetical seam, two = real"). Use these terms exactly in every suggestion — don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary."
- The domain language in `CONTEXT.md` gives names to good seams; ADRs in `docs/adr/` record decisions this command should not re-litigate.

## Process

### 1. Explore

**Scope before you scan — YAGNI.** Deepening a module pays off by making future changes to it easier, so put extra weight on the parts of the codebase that have recently changed. Decide *where* to look before you look:

- If the user named a direction — a module, a subsystem, a pain point — take it, and skip the inference below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danny-avila/librechat/improve-codebase-architecture@sha256:7b76f01b0eefe49a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.ee8c0ab, 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.
