architecture-deepening

architecture-deepening is a skill for Claude Code from notque/vexjoy-agent. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,791 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture improvement guide that looks for modules whose interfaces expose too much implementation detail. It suggests ways to make those modules easier to use across the codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after codebase exploration or review to identify better interfaces and stronger boundaries between modules.
Why use it?
It reduces the need for callers to understand internal code or coordinate several modules for simple tasks.

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

architecture-deepening 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 25d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/decision_memory.py, scripts/fingerprint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture Deepening

Find shallow modules and propose deepening opportunities. Not a code review -- does not find bugs or style violations. Finds modules where the interface is too close to the implementation, where users must understand internals to use the API, and where small interface changes would absorb disproportionate complexity.

When to use: After codebase onboarding or review when improvement was requested, before a cross-module feature, after a fix exposes a missing test seam, or when callers repeatedly need source knowledge or multi-module coordination.

Differs from full-repo-review: Full-repo-review finds defects. This skill finds structural improvement opportunities. Pair well: run full-repo-review first to fix defects, then architecture-deepening to raise the bar.


Deep References

Load on demand when working in the named phase.

Phase Reference Content
Phase 1 references/maintenance-lifecycle.md Entry rules, recent-change scope, decision memory, candidate schema, typed handoff
Phase 1 references/vocabulary.md Shared vocabulary: module, depth, seam, leverage, locality, deletion test
Phase 2 references/interface-design.md Patterns for exploring alternative interfaces, deletion test
Phase 2-3 references/deepening-strategies.md Dependency categorization, safe deepening, testing strategies

Instructions

Run phases in order until a terminal gate. Survey and design keep source code read-only; Write/Edit apply only to user-approved decision records after selection. Existing delivery workflows own code changes. The user selects candidates and decides whether a handoff proceeds.

Language-agnostic. Vocabulary and strategies apply to Go, Python, TypeScript, or any codebase with module boundaries.

Phase 1: EXPLORE

Goal: Identify shallow modules -- where the interface exposes too much implementation detail.

Step 1: Choose an evidence-fed scope

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

architecture-deepening is a skill published in the GitHub repository notque/vexjoy-agent (442 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,791 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
