enhance-arch-boundaries

enhance-arch-boundaries is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system of automated rules that enforces how code modules may depend on one another, which layers may import which, and which features must remain isolated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enforce module boundaries, prevent forbidden imports, protect feature separation, and keep intended layering intact.
Why use it?
It catches architecture-damaging imports in checks and continuous integration before gradual changes turn the codebase into tangled dependencies.

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

enhance-arch-boundaries 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 5d 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.

enhance-arch-boundaries — Architecture as a fitness function

Degree of freedom: MIXED — T1 is the priority. Recovering the model [HIGH freedom]; do-not-invent, shrink-only baseline, and deliberate-violation probes [LOW freedom — run exactly].

Codify the repo's intended structure as rules that block merge. Import spaghetti is how agents degrade architecture: each import looks locally reasonable, no single diff is wrong, and after forty sessions the layering is gone. A rule in AGENTS.md is advisory. A dependency-cruiser rule in the aggregator gate is physics.

This skill vs neighbors

Skill Owns
enhance-arch-boundaries (this) Mechanical boundary rules + shrink-only baseline
audit-backend-architecture Advises which pattern to adopt — does not enforce
housekeep-gates Wires this check into the aggregator
docs-adr Records why the model was chosen
enhance-agent-guardrails Broader guard install; this owns the import graph

How to reason

  1. Observe — folder layout, existing conventions, any architecture audit
  2. Interpret — what layering does the repo already mean to have?
  3. Classify — recoverable model / no intended structure (stop) / inventing (forbidden)
  4. Severity — client → server-only / service-role is the worst edge

Worked example

Observe: app/dashboard/page.tsx imports @/lib/supabase/admin (service-role). No boundary rule. Interpret: the intended split exists in folder names but is not physics. Classify: forbidden edge — client → server-only. Fix: dependency-cruiser / eslint-boundaries rule; grandfather other violations into a shrink-only baseline; probe a new forbidden import fails CI.


Phase 0 — Recover the intended architecture (do not invent one) [LOW freedom — stop if none]

The rules must encode the architecture the repo means to have.

  • Read folder structure and existing conventions (features/*, app/, lib/, server/, components/, monorepo packages).
  • Read audit-backend-architecture output if it exists — that is the drift to stop.
  • Confirm with the user in one pass: layers and allowed direction (e.g. ui → application → domain → infrastructure, never reverse), feature units that must stay isolated, special zones (server-only, secrets, generated).

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.

enhance-arch-boundaries is a skill published in the GitHub repository kensaurus/cursor-kenji (9 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,645 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
