improve-architecture SKILL.md skillA
improve-architecture from rohitg00/pro-workflow is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rohitg00/pro-workflow/improve-architecture@git:20260718.7f7209dPins git:20260718.7f7209d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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.
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-architecture
Invest in the shape of the system a little at a time rather than paying for a
rewrite later. This skill diagnoses and proposes; it does not rewrite on its own.
## Method
1. **Map first.** Get the current shape before judging it - entry points,
modules, data flow, who calls whom. Reuse `module-map` for the one-screen
view; do not skip to opinions.
2. **Find the strain.** Look for the load-bearing problems, not style nits:
- God modules that everything imports and nothing can change safely.
- Leaky boundaries - a module reaching into another's internals instead of
its surface.
- Duplicated logic that drifts (the same rule implemented three ways).
- Wrong seams - the code is split where it does not bend and fused where it
does.
- Cyclic dependencies.
- A shape that fights the domain (see `domain-modeling` - boundaries in code
should track boundaries in the language).
3. **Propose the smallest move.** For each problem, the least change that
relieves it: extract a boundary, collapse a duplicate, invert a dependency,
move a seam. Prefer a sequence of safe steps over one big cut.

How to install
mdr add rohitg00/pro-workflow/improve-architecture@sha256:d56f882339eaeed8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.7f7209d, 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.
