What's inside
- Skill name
codebase-design- Description
- Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules: module, interface, depth, seam, adapter, leverage, locality. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find where a seam should go, make code more testable, or is deciding whether a chunk of code deserves its own abstraction. Triggers: deep module, shallow module, where should this seam go, is this interface too big, hard to test this, should I extract this into its own thing, module design, interface design, deletion test.
