Can it help with legacy code refactoring?

Yes, it includes a modernization command that performs legacy analysis and generates a phased plan to transition to cleaner architectural patterns.

How does it handle dependency management?

It analyzes module boundaries and uses a dependency inversion approach to detect circular dependencies and ensure a clean, inward-pointing dependency rule.

Which frameworks does this skill support?

While the architectural principles are universal, this skill is specifically optimized for Python backend projects using FastAPI and SQLAlchemy 2.0.

Does it generate visual documentation?

Yes, the skill can generate various Mermaid diagrams, including component, data-flow, sequence, and entity-relationship diagrams.
