How does it detect the project's architecture?

It uses a 3-tier priority chain: first checking for explicit YAML configs, then reading architectural documentation, and finally falling back to directory structure heuristics.

What programming languages does this skill support?

It currently supports Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, C#, and Java by parsing language-specific import and using statements.

What kind of metrics does it calculate?

It calculates Efferent Coupling (Ce), Afferent Coupling (Ca), Instability (I), and Lakos metrics like Cumulative Component Dependency (CCD) to measure graph complexity.

Can I use this on a legacy project without fixing everything at once?

Yes, it supports a baseline/freeze mode (similar to ArchUnit) that allows you to record current violations and only alert on new architectural regressions.

Developer Tools

Builds and analyzes module dependency graphs to enforce architectural boundaries and detect structural technical debt.

The Architectural Dependency Auditor is an L3 worker designed to maintain codebase integrity by visualizing and validating module relationships. It automatically detects architectural patterns—such as Clean, Hexagonal, or Layered architecture—and enforces boundary rules to prevent 'Big Ball of Mud' scenarios. By calculating Robert C. Martin metrics and performing deep DFS cycle detection, it helps teams identify instability, break circular dependencies, and manage legacy codebases through intelligent baseline freezing.

Key Features

01Adaptive architecture detection using config files, documentation, or structural heuristics.

02Multi-language support for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, and Java.

03Automated circular dependency detection (pairwise and transitive DFS).

04Calculation of Robert C. Martin metrics (Afferent/Efferent Coupling, Instability) and Lakos metrics.

05Baseline support for incremental adoption in legacy projects via violation freezing.
