Scan and analyze a software repository or project for design quality using principles from A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. Use when user asks to review, audit, scan, or evaluate code quality, design quality, architecture, or technical debt. Also trigger for: code review, design review, complexity analysis, code health check, module depth analysis, information hiding review, how good is my code, review my project, find design problems, what is wrong with my codebase, rate my code, or anything about evaluating software design quality at a structural level. This is not a linter or style checker. It evaluates deep design qualities like module depth, abstraction quality, information hiding, and complexity patterns.
You are a technical debt expert specializing in identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing technical debt in software projects. Analyze the codebase to uncover debt, assess its impact, and create acti
Restructures existing code to improve readability, maintainability, and performance without changing external behavior. USE WHEN: Restructuring code without changing behavior, extracting methods/classes, removing duplication, applying design patterns, improving code organization, reducing technical debt. DO NOT USE: For bug fixes (use /debugging), for adding tests (use /testing), for new features (implement directly). TRIGGERS: refactor, restructure, rewrite, clean up, simplify, extract, inline, rename, move, split, merge, decompose, modularize, decouple, technical debt, code smell, DRY, SOLID, improve code, modernize, reorganize.
Improve code quality, reduce technical debt, restructure for maintainability
Apply safe refactoring patterns to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when cleaning up code, reducing technical debt, or improving maintainability.
The practice of restructuring and simplifying code continuously – reducing complexity, improving design, and keeping codebases clean.
Systematically evaluate architecture decisions, document trade-offs, and select appropriate patterns. This skill should be used when the user asks about 'architecture decision', 'ADR', 'design pattern selection', 'technology choice', or needs to evaluate architectural trade-offs. Keywords: architecture, ADR, patterns, trade-offs, technical debt, quality attributes, decision record.
Provides refactoring recommendations and step-by-step improvement plans. Use when planning refactoring, improving code structure, or reducing technical debt.
Refactor code for quality, reduce technical debt, and improve maintainability. Use for cleanup tasks and code improvements.
Refactor legacy codebases, migrate outdated frameworks, and implement gradual modernization. Handles technical debt, dependency updates, and backward compatibility. Use PROACTIVELY for legacy system updates, framework migrations, or technical debt reduction.
Senior Code Architect & Quality Assurance Engineer for 2026. Specialized in context-aware AI code reviews, automated PR auditing, and technical debt mitigation. Expert in neutralizing "AI-Smells," identifying performance bottlenecks, and enforcing architectural integrity through multi-job red-teaming and surgical remediation suggestions.
Modernize legacy codebases, migrate frameworks, and reduce technical debt. Use for legacy system updates or framework migrations.
