Does it provide code examples for the suggested fixes?

Yes, the analysis output includes suggested refactoring strategies and code snippets showing how to implement the fix correctly.

How does the skill identify violations like SRP or DIP?

It scans for specific 'Detection Patterns' such as classes with too many methods, files exceeding specific line counts, hard-coded dependencies, and 'fat' interfaces with unused methods.

Can this skill help with refactoring legacy code?

Yes, it is specifically designed to analyze existing codebases, identify architectural debt, and provide step-by-step refactoring strategies to improve code structure.

Which programming languages does this skill support?

The skill provides specific guidance and detection patterns for TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python, Go, and PHP, though the general principles can be applied to any object-oriented language.

How do I prioritize which SOLID violations to fix first?

The skill categorizes every finding into Critical, High, Medium, or Low severity levels, allowing you to focus on the most impactful architectural changes first.

Developer Tools

Analyzes and refines codebases by applying SOLID object-oriented design principles to improve maintainability and scalability.

About

This skill empowers Claude to act as a senior software architect, providing comprehensive guidance for detecting and fixing SOLID principle violations across multiple programming languages including TypeScript, Java, Python, Go, and PHP. It offers specific detection patterns for each principle—Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion—alongside actionable refactoring strategies. By using a structured analysis workflow and severity-based reporting, this skill helps developers transform complex, tightly-coupled code into clean, extensible, and modular architectures that are easier to test and maintain.

Key Features

Severity-based analysis to prioritize critical architectural improvements.

Use Cases

Decoupling high-level business logic from low-level implementations using Dependency Inversion.
Refactoring monolithic classes into smaller, single-responsibility components.
Auditing complex inheritance hierarchies for Liskov Substitution and Interface Segregation issues.
