Does this skill work with any programming language?

The skill performs a structure scan across most common languages including Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, and Java using glob and grep patterns.

What is 'Tactical Tornado' detection?

It identifies patterns of 'just get it working' coding—such as copy-pasted blocks and lack of refactoring—that prioritize short-term speed over long-term maintainability.

How does it detect 'shallow modules'?

It analyzes the ratio of interface complexity to implementation size, flagging modules where the interface is nearly as complex as the logic it hides, suggesting a need for abstraction.

Can it help with performance issues?

Yes, it includes a performance mode that flags inefficient patterns like allocations in hot loops, sequential I/O, and unnecessary locking.

Analyzes codebase architecture using "A Philosophy of Software Design" principles to reduce complexity and technical debt.

Software Architect is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to provide expert-level architectural reviews based on John Ousterhout's "A Philosophy of Software Design" and Jeff Dean's performance insights. It helps developers identify critical design flaws like shallow modules, information leakage, and tactical programming patterns that lead to "complexity tornadoes." By scanning your codebase for specific red flags and evaluating the separation between functional cores and imperative shells, this skill ensures your project remains maintainable, scalable, and performant over the long term.

主要功能
