flow-architecture-maintenance

flow-architecture-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asherzj/ashers-agent-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (994 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for improving one existing architecture problem at a time while keeping the software’s current outward behaviour. Architecture here means how the code’s parts and interfaces are organised.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan for an architecture hotspot, define the target structure, split the migration into tickets, implement each ticket, remove old compatibility paths, and verify the result.
Why use it?
It turns evidence of tangled or duplicated code into a specification, migration tasks, implementation work, and cleanup. It also prevents a maintenance task from quietly expanding into new product features.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

flow-architecture-maintenance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

架构维护交付流程

本流程负责完成一次独立的架构优化迭代:保持既有外部行为,在划定范围内深化模块、收缩接口并删除旧结构。它组合 improve-codebase-architectureto-specto-ticketsimplementcontext-gc,不复制它们的内部操作。

开始前读取仓库的 AGENTS.mdCLAUDE.md、领域上下文、相关 ADR、架构约束和当前工单规则。首次在仓库中运行工程流程前,应先完成 setup-engineering-skills

入口门禁

只有存在具体摩擦证据时使用,例如:

  • 热点文件反复跨模块修改;
  • 调用方需要知道过多顺序、错误或配置细节;
  • 同一领域规则散落在多个调用点;
  • 浅模块、假接缝或重复 Adapter 增加导航成本;
  • 临时兼容路径已经达到删除条件;
  • 当前接口使关键行为难以从公共接缝验证。

“以后也许会需要”不是充分证据。用户只是想增加业务能力时,转用 flow-featureflow-large-effort

1. 扫描并选择一个热点

调用 improve-codebase-architecture,让用户从报告中选择一个候选。本轮只处理一个架构热点;其他候选保留为报告或独立工单,不一起实现。

选择后明确:

  • 当前摩擦的证据;
  • 必须保持的外部行为和性能特征;
  • 允许修改的模块和接缝;
  • 明确禁止扩大的业务范围;
  • 预期删除、合并或隐藏的复杂度。

如果设计要求新增领域职责、改变数据所有权或扩大产品承诺,停止本流程,把它转成新需求决策。

2. 形成架构维护规格

调用 to-spec。规格中的用户视角改为调用方和维护者视角,并额外包含:

  • 行为不变量和现有验收证据;
  • 当前接口与目标接口;
  • 删除清单;
  • 迁移和回滚策略;
  • 架构约束验证;
  • 临时扩展形式的退出条件。

规格不能以新增功能证明价值;价值来自局部性、杠杆、可测试性或删除的复杂度。

3. 拆迁移工单

调用 to-tickets。普通重构仍按可保持绿色的纵向切片拆分;宽重构使用 expand–migrate–contract:

  1. 扩展新形式而不破坏旧调用方;
  2. 按可独立验证的影响面迁移;
  3. 删除旧形式和临时兼容;
  4. 运行最终集成与架构验证。

删除工单不能省略。用户确认阻塞边时,同时确认哪张工单负责让旧结构真正消失。

4. 逐工单实现

每次在干净上下文中对一张无阻塞工单调用 implement。重构测试通过既有公共接缝验证行为;新接口处的测试建立后,删除绑定旧内部结构的重复测试,不把两套测试永久叠加。

任何工单发现必须改变产品语义时立即停止,并回到规格或范围决策,不用“重构需要”掩盖需求变化。

5. 回收上下文并完成

所有迁移和删除工单完成后调用 context-gc,并运行仓库已有的架构、契约、单元、集成和必要端到端验证。

完成条件:

  • 既有验收行为保持成立;
  • 旧接口、旧实现和临时兼容已经按规格删除;
  • 模块接口更小,调用方需要知道的事实更少;
  • 没有新增业务范围或未授权依赖;
  • 领域文档、ADR 和架构说明与当前实现一致;
  • 仓库规定的项目管理记录已经更新。

最终汇报删除了什么复杂度、验证了哪些不变量、剩余风险和全部交付指针。

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
