- # Codebase Design
9
-
10
- Design **deep modules**: a lot of behaviour behind a small interface, placed at a clean seam, testable through that interface. Use this language and these principles wherever code is being designed or restructured. The aim is leverage for callers, locality for maintainers, and testability for everyone.
11
-
12
- ## Glossary
13
-
14
- Use these terms exactly: don't substitute "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Consistent language is the whole point.
15
-
16
- **Module**: anything with an interface and an implementation. Deliberately scale-agnostic: a function, class, package, or tier-spanning slice. _Avoid_: unit, component, service.
17
-
18
- **Interface**: everything a caller must know to use the module correctly: the type signature, but also invariants, ordering constraints, error modes, required configuration, and performance characteristics. _Avoid_: API, signature (too narrow, they refer only to the type-level surface).
19
-
20
- **Implementation**: what's inside a module, its body of code. Distinct from **Adapter**: a thing can be a small adapter with a large implementation (a Postgres repo) or a large adapter with a small implementation (an in-memory fake). Reach for "adapter" when the seam is the topic; "implementation" otherwise.
21
-
22
- **Depth**: leverage at the interface. The amount of behaviour a caller (or test) can exercise per unit of interface they have to learn. A module is **deep** when a large amount of behaviour sits behind a small interface, **shallow** when the interface is nearly as complex as the implementation.
23
-
24
- **Seam** _(Michael Feathers)_: a place where you can alter behaviour without editing in that place; the *location* at which a module's interface lives. Where to put the seam is its own design decision, distinct from what goes behind it. _Avoid_: boundary (overloaded with DDD's bounded context).
25
-
26
- **Adapter**: a concrete thing that satisfies an interface at a seam. Describes *role* (what slot it fills), not substance (what's inside).
27
-
28
- **Leverage**: what callers get from depth. More capability per unit of interface they learn. One implementation pays back across N call sites and M tests.
29
-
30
- **Locality**: what maintainers get from depth. Change, bugs, knowledge, and verification concentrate in one place rather than spreading across callers. Fix once, fixed everywhere.
31
-
32
- ## Deep vs shallow
33
-
34
- **Deep module** = small interface + lots of implementation:
35
-
36
- ```
37
- ┌─────────────────────┐
38
- │ Small Interface │ ← Few methods, simple params
39
- ├─────────────────────┤
40
- │ │
41
- │ Deep Implementation│ ← Complex logic hidden
42
- │ │
43
- └─────────────────────┘
44
- ```
45
-
46
- **Shallow module** = large interface + little implementation (avoid):
47
-
48
- ```
49
- ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
50
- │ Large Interface │ ← Many methods, complex params
51
- ├─────────────────────────────────┤
52
- │ Thin Implementation │ ← Just passes through
53
- └─────────────────────────────────┘
54
- ```
55
-
56
- When designing an interface, ask:
57
-
58
- - Can I reduce the number of methods?
59
- - Can I simplify the parameters?
60
- - Can I hide more complexity inside?
61
-
62
- ## Principles
63
-
64
- - **Depth is a property of the interface, not the implementation.** A deep module can be internally composed of small, mockable, swappable parts; they just aren't part of the interface. A module can have **internal seams** (private to its implementation, used by its own tests) as well as the **external seam** at its interface.
65
- - **The deletion test.** Imagine deleting the module. If complexity vanishes, it was a pass-through. If complexity reappears across N callers, it was earning its keep.
66
- - **The interface is the test surface.** Callers and tests cross the same seam. If you want to test *past* the interface, the module is probably the wrong shape.
67
- - **One adapter means a hypothetical seam. Two adapters means a real one.** Don't introduce a seam unless something actually varies across it.
68
-
69
- ## Designing for testability
70
-
71
- Good interfaces make testing natural:
72
-
73
- 1. **Accept dependencies, don't create them.**
74
-
75
- ```typescript
76
- // Testable
77
- function processOrder(order, paymentGateway) {}
78
-
79
- // Hard to test
80
- function processOrder(order) {
81
- const gateway = new StripeGateway();
82
- }
83
- ```
84
-
85
- 2. **Return results, don't produce side effects.**
86
-
87
- ```typescript
88
- // Testable
89
- function calculateDiscount(cart): Discount {}
90
-
91
- // Hard to test
92
- function applyDiscount(cart): void {
93
- cart.total -= discount;
94
- }
95
- ```
96
-
97
- 3. **Small surface area.** Fewer methods = fewer tests needed. Fewer params = simpler test setup.
98
-
99
- ## Relationships
100
-
101
- - A **Module** has exactly one **Interface** (the surface it presents to callers and tests).
102
- - **Depth** is a property of a **Module**, measured against its **Interface**.
103
- - A **Seam** is where a **Module**'s **Interface** lives.
104
- - An **Adapter** sits at a **Seam** and satisfies the **Interface**.
105
- - **Depth** produces **Leverage** for callers and **Locality** for maintainers.
106
-
107
- ## Rejected framings
108
-
109
- - **Depth as ratio of implementation-lines to interface-lines** (Ousterhout): rewards padding the implementation. We use depth-as-leverage instead.
110
- - **"Interface" as the TypeScript `interface` keyword or a class's public methods**: too narrow: interface here includes every fact a caller must know.
111
- - **"Boundary"**: overloaded with DDD's bounded context. Say **seam** or **interface**.
112
-
113
- ## Going deeper
114
-
115
- - **Deepening a cluster given its dependencies**, see [DEEPENING.md](DEEPENING.md): dependency categories, seam discipline, and replace-don't-layer testing.
116
- - **Exploring alternative interfaces**, see [DESIGN-IT-TWICE.md](DESIGN-IT-TWICE.md): spin up parallel sub-agents to design the interface several radically different ways, then compare on depth, locality, and seam placement.

- # Diagnosing Bugs
9
-
10
- A discipline for hard bugs. Skip phases only when explicitly justified.
11
-
12
- When exploring the codebase, read `CONTEXT.md` (if it exists) to get a clear mental model of the relevant modules, and check ADRs in the area you're touching.
13
-
14
- ## Redact
15
-
16
- This skill has you show commands, outputs and captured artifacts. **Redact every secret first**: write `<REDACTED>` in its place. Build loops against env vars, so the credential stays in the environment rather than in what you show. Captured artifacts carry auth headers: quote only the lines that carry the signal.
17
-
18
- If the redacted output is not enough to diagnose the bug, say so and ask the user.
19
-
20
- ## Phase 1: Build a feedback loop
21
-
22
- **This is the skill.** Everything else is mechanical. If you have a **tight** pass/fail signal for the bug (one that goes red on _this_ bug), you will find the cause; bisection, hypothesis-testing, and instrumentation all just consume it. If you don't have one, no amount of staring at code will save you.
23
-
24
- Spend disproportionate effort here. **Be aggressive. Be creative. Refuse to give up.**
25
-
26
- ### Ways to construct one, in roughly this order
27
-
28
- 1. **Failing test** at whatever seam reaches the bug: unit, integration, e2e.
29
- 2. **Curl / HTTP script** against a running dev server.
30
- 3. **CLI invocation** with a fixture input, diffing stdout against a known-good snapshot.
31
- 4. **Headless browser script** (Playwright / Puppeteer) that drives the UI and asserts on DOM/console/network.
32
- 5. **Replay a captured trace.** Save a real network request / payload / event log to disk; replay it through the code path in isolation.
33
- 6. **Throwaway harness.** Spin up a minimal subset of the system (one service, mocked deps) that exercises the bug code path with a single function call.
34
- 7. **Property / fuzz loop.** If the bug is "sometimes wrong output", run 1000 random inputs and look for the failure mode.
35
- 8. **Bisection harness.** If the bug appeared between two known states (commit, dataset, version), automate "boot at state X, check, repeat" so you can `git bisect run` it.
36
- 9. **Differential loop.** Run the same input through old-version vs new-version (or two configs) and diff outputs.
37
- 10. **HITL bash script.** Last resort. If a human must click, drive _them_ with `scripts/hitl-loop.template.sh` so the loop is still structured. Captured output feeds back to you.
38
-
39
- Build the right feedback loop, and the bug is 90% fixed.
40
-
41
- ### Tighten the loop
42
-
43
- Treat the loop as a product. Once you have _a_ loop, **tighten** it:
44
-
45
- - Can I make it faster? (Cache setup, skip unrelated init, narrow the test scope.)
46
- - Can I make the signal sharper? (Assert on the specific symptom, not "didn't crash".)
47
- - Can I make it more deterministic? (Pin time, seed RNG, isolate filesystem, freeze network.)
48
-
49
- A 30-second flaky loop is barely better than no loop; a 2-second deterministic one is tight, a debugging superpower.
50
-
51
- ### Non-deterministic bugs
52
-
53
- The goal is not a clean repro but a **higher reproduction rate**. Loop the trigger 100×, parallelise, add stress, narrow timing windows, inject sleeps. A 50%-flake bug is debuggable; 1% is not, so keep raising the rate until it's debuggable.
54
-
55
- ### When you genuinely cannot build a loop
56
-
57
- Stop and say so explicitly. List what you tried. Ask the user for: (a) access to whatever environment reproduces it, (b) a redacted captured artifact (HAR file, log dump, core dump, screen recording with timestamps), or (c) permission to add temporary production instrumentation. Do **not** proceed to hypothesise without a loop.
58
-
59
- ### Completion criterion: a tight loop that goes red
60
-
61
- Phase 1 is done when the loop is **tight** and **red-capable**: you can name **one command** (a script path, a test invocation, a curl) that you have **already run at least once** (show the invocation and its output, redacted), and that is:
62
-
63
- - [ ] **Red-capable**: it drives the actual bug code path and asserts the **user's exact symptom**, so it can go red on this bug and green once fixed. Not "runs without erroring"; it must be able to _catch this specific bug_.
64
- - [ ] **Deterministic**: same verdict every run (flaky bugs: a pinned, high reproduction rate, per above).
65
- - [ ] **Fast**: seconds, not minutes.
66
- - [ ] **Agent-runnable**: you can run it unattended; a human in the loop only via `scripts/hitl-loop.template.sh`.
67
-
68
- If you catch yourself reading code to build a theory before this command exists, **stop: jumping straight to a hypothesis is the exact failure this skill prevents.** No red-capable command, no Phase 2.
69
-
70
- ## Phase 2: Reproduce + minimise
71
-
72
- Run the loop. Watch it go red as the bug appears.
73
-
74
- Confirm:
75
-
76
- - [ ] The loop produces the failure mode the **user** described, not a different failure that happens to be nearby. Wrong bug = wrong fix.
77
- - [ ] The failure is reproducible across multiple runs (or, for non-deterministic bugs, reproducible at a high enough rate to debug against).
78
- - [ ] You have captured the exact symptom (error message, wrong output, slow timing) so later phases can verify the fix actually addresses it.
79
-
80
- ### Minimise
81
-
82
- Once it's red, shrink the repro to the **smallest scenario that still goes red**. Cut inputs, callers, config, data, and steps **one at a time**, re-running the loop after each cut, and keep only what's load-bearing for the failure.
83
-
84
- Why bother: a minimal repro shrinks the hypothesis space in Phase 3 (fewer moving parts left to suspect) and becomes the clean regression test in Phase 5.
85
-
86
- Done when **every remaining element is load-bearing**: removing any one of them makes the loop go green.
87
-
88
- Do not proceed until you have reproduced **and** minimised.
89
-
90
- ## Phase 3: Hypothesise
91
-
92
- Generate **3–5 ranked hypotheses** before testing any of them. Single-hypothesis generation anchors on the first plausible idea.
93
-
94
- Each hypothesis must be **falsifiable**: state the prediction it makes.
95
-
96
- > Format: "If <X> is the cause, then <changing Y> will make the bug disappear / <changing Z> will make it worse."
97
-
98
- If you cannot state the prediction, the hypothesis is a vibe: discard or sharpen it.
99
-
100
- **Show the ranked list to the user before testing.** They often have domain knowledge that re-ranks instantly ("we just deployed a change to #3"), or know hypotheses they've already ruled out. Cheap checkpoint, big time saver. Don't block on it; proceed with your ranking if the user is AFK.
101
-
102
- ## Phase 4: Instrument

- Each probe must map to a specific prediction from Phase 3. **Change one variable at a time.**
105
-
106
- Tool preference:
107
-
108
- 1. **Debugger / REPL inspection** if the env supports it. One breakpoint beats ten logs.
109
- 2. **Targeted logs** at the boundaries that distinguish hypotheses.
110
- 3. Never "log everything and grep".
111
-
112
- **Tag every debug log** with a unique prefix, e.g. `[DEBUG-a4f2]`. Cleanup at the end becomes a single grep. Untagged logs survive; tagged logs die.
113
-
114
- **Perf branch.** For performance regressions, logs are usually wrong. Instead: establish a baseline measurement (timing harness, `performance.now()`, profiler, query plan), then bisect. Measure first, fix second.
115
-
116
- ## Phase 5: Fix + regression test
117
-
118
- Write the regression test **before the fix**, but only if there is a **correct seam** for it.
119
-
120
- A correct seam is one where the test exercises the **real bug pattern** as it occurs at the call site. If the only available seam is too shallow (single-caller test when the bug needs multiple callers, unit test that can't replicate the chain that triggered the bug), a regression test there gives false confidence.
121
-
122
- **If no correct seam exists, that itself is the finding.** Note it. The codebase architecture is preventing the bug from being locked down. Flag this for the next phase.
123
-
124
- If a correct seam exists:
125
-
126
- 1. Turn the minimised repro into a failing test at that seam.
127
- 2. Watch it fail.
128
- 3. Apply the fix.
129
- 4. Watch it pass.
130
- 5. Re-run the Phase 1 feedback loop against the original (un-minimised) scenario.
131
-
132
- ## Phase 6: Cleanup
133
-
134
- Required before declaring done:
135
-
136
- - [ ] Original repro no longer reproduces (re-run the Phase 1 loop)
137
- - [ ] Regression test passes (or absence of seam is documented)
138
- - [ ] All `[DEBUG-...]` instrumentation removed (`grep` the prefix)
139
- - [ ] Throwaway prototypes deleted (or moved to a clearly-marked debug location)
140
- - [ ] The hypothesis that turned out correct is stated in the commit / PR message, so the next debugger learns

- # ADR Format
2
-
3
- ADRs live in `docs/adr/` and use sequential numbering: `0001-slug.md`, `0002-slug.md`, etc.
4
-
5
- Create the `docs/adr/` directory lazily: only when the first ADR is needed.
6
-
7
- ## Template
8
-
9
- ```md
10
- # {Short title of the decision}
11
-
12
- {1-3 sentences: what's the context, what did we decide, and why.}
13
- ```
14
-
15
- That's it. An ADR can be a single paragraph. The value is in recording *that* a decision was made and *why*, not in filling out sections.
16
-
17
- ## Optional sections
18
-
19
- Only include these when they add genuine value. Most ADRs won't need them.
20
-
21
- - **Status** frontmatter (`proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded by ADR-NNNN`): useful when decisions are revisited
22
- - **Considered Options**: only when the rejected alternatives are worth remembering
23
- - **Consequences**: only when non-obvious downstream effects need to be called out
24
-
25
- ## Numbering
26
-
27
- Scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment by one.
28
-
29
- ## When to offer an ADR
30
-
31
- All three of these must be true:
32
-
33
- 1. **Hard to reverse**: the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
34
- 2. **Surprising without context**: a future reader will look at the code and wonder "why on earth did they do it this way?"
35
- 3. **The result of a real trade-off**: there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
36
-
37
- If a decision is easy to reverse, skip it: you'll just reverse it. If it's not surprising, nobody will wonder why. If there was no real alternative, there's nothing to record beyond "we did the obvious thing."
38
-
39
- ### What qualifies
40
-
41
- - **Architectural shape.** "We're using a monorepo." "The write model is event-sourced, the read model is projected into Postgres."
42
- - **Integration patterns between contexts.** "Ordering and Billing communicate via domain events, not synchronous HTTP."
43
- - **Technology choices that carry lock-in.** Database, message bus, auth provider, deployment target. Not every library: just the ones that would take a quarter to swap out.
44
- - **Boundary and scope decisions.** "Customer data is owned by the Customer context; other contexts reference it by ID only." The explicit no-s are as valuable as the yes-s.
45
- - **Deliberate deviations from the obvious path.** "We're using manual SQL instead of an ORM because X." Anything where a reasonable reader would assume the opposite. These stop the next engineer from "fixing" something that was deliberate.
46
- - **Constraints not visible in the code.** "We can't use AWS because of compliance requirements." "Response times must be under 200ms because of the partner API contract."
47
- - **Rejected alternatives when the rejection is non-obvious.** If you considered GraphQL and picked REST for subtle reasons, record it; otherwise someone will suggest GraphQL again in six months.

- # CONTEXT.md Format

-

- ## Structure
4
-
5
- ```md
6
- # {Context Name}
7
-
8
- {One or two sentence description of what this context is and why it exists.}
9
-
10
- ## Language
11
-
12
- **Order**:
13
- {A one or two sentence description of the term}
14
- _Avoid_: Purchase, transaction
15
-
16
- **Invoice**:
17
- A request for payment sent to a customer after delivery.
18
- _Avoid_: Bill, payment request
19
-
20
- **Customer**:
21
- A person or organization that places orders.
22
- _Avoid_: Client, buyer, account
23
- ```
24
-
25
- ## Rules
26
-
27
- - **Be opinionated.** When multiple words exist for the same concept, pick the best one and list the others under `_Avoid_`.
28
- - **Keep definitions tight.** One or two sentences max. Define what it IS, not what it does.
29
- - **Only include terms specific to this project's context.** General programming concepts (timeouts, error types, utility patterns) don't belong even if the project uses them extensively. Before adding a term, ask: is this a concept unique to this context, or a general programming concept? Only the former belongs.
30
- - **Group terms under subheadings** when natural clusters emerge. If all terms belong to a single cohesive area, a flat list is fine.
31
-
32
- ## Single vs multi-context repos
33
-
34
- **Single context (most repos):** One `CONTEXT.md` at the repo root.
35
-
36
- **Multiple contexts:** A `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the repo root lists the contexts, where they live, and how they relate to each other:
37
-
38
- ```md
39
- # Context Map
40
-
41
- ## Contexts
42
-
43
- - [Ordering](./src/ordering/CONTEXT.md): receives and tracks customer orders
44
- - [Billing](./src/billing/CONTEXT.md): generates invoices and processes payments
45
- - [Fulfillment](./src/fulfillment/CONTEXT.md): manages warehouse picking and shipping
46
-
47
- ## Relationships
48
-
49
- - **Ordering → Fulfillment**: Ordering emits `OrderPlaced` events; Fulfillment consumes them to start picking
50
- - **Fulfillment → Billing**: Fulfillment emits `ShipmentDispatched` events; Billing consumes them to generate invoices
51
- - **Ordering ↔ Billing**: Shared types for `CustomerId` and `Money`
52
- ```
53
-
54
- The skill infers which structure applies:
55
-
56
- - If `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists, read it to find contexts
57
- - If only a root `CONTEXT.md` exists, single context
58
- - If neither exists, create a root `CONTEXT.md` lazily when the first term is resolved
59
-
60
- When multiple contexts exist, infer which one the current topic relates to. If unclear, ask.

- # Domain Modeling
9
-
10
- Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the *active* discipline: challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing the glossary and decisions down the moment they crystallise. (Merely *reading* `CONTEXT.md` for vocabulary is not this skill: that's a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.)
11
-
12
- ## File structure
13
-
14
- Most repos have a single context:
15
-
16
- ```
17
- /
18
- ├── CONTEXT.md
19
- ├── docs/
20
- │ └── adr/
21
- │ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
22
- │ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
23
- └── src/
24
- ```
25
-
26
- If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
27
-
28
- ```
29
- /
30
- ├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
31
- ├── docs/
32
- │ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
33
- ├── src/
34
- │ ├── ordering/
35
- │ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
36
- │ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
37
- │ └── billing/
38
- │ ├── CONTEXT.md
39
- │ └── docs/adr/
40
- ```
41
-
42
- Create files lazily: only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no `docs/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
43
-
44
- ## During the session
45
-
46
- ### Challenge against the glossary
47
-
48
- When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y. Which is it?"
49
-
50
- ### Sharpen fuzzy language
51
-
52
- When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account': do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
53
-
54
- ### Discuss concrete scenarios
55
-
56
- When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
57
-
58
- ### Cross-reference with code
59
-
60
- When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible. Which is right?"
61
-
62
- ### Update CONTEXT.md inline
63
-
64
- When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up: capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
65
-
66
- `CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
67
-
68
- ### Offer ADRs sparingly
69
-
70
- Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
71
-
72
- 1. **Hard to reverse**: the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
73
- 2. **Surprising without context**: a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
74
- 3. **The result of a real trade-off**: there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
75
-
76
- If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).
