Find deepening opportunities in a codebase. Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.
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: testability and AI-navigability. ## Glossary Use these terms exactly in every suggestion. Consistent language is the point. Don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Definitions in [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md). - **Module**: anything with an interface and an implementation (function, class, package, slice). - **Interface**: everything a caller must know to use the module: types, invariants, error modes, ordering, config. Not just the type signature. - **Implementation**: the code inside. - **Depth**: leverage at the interface: a lot of behaviour behind a small interface. **Deep** = high leverage. **Shallow** = interface nearly as complex as the implementation. - **Seam**: where an interface lives; a place behaviour can be altered without editing in place. (Use this, not "boundary.") - **Adapter**: a concrete thing satisfying an interface at a seam. - **Leverage**: what callers get from depth. - **Locality**: what maintainers get from depth: change, bugs, knowledge concentrated in one place. …

How to install
mdr add bendrucker/claude/improve-codebase-architecture@sha256:b55ad116c06cb30bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.1953187, 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.
