feat: Add new skills and templates for domain modeling, bug diagnosis, and architectural improvement
- Introduced a human-in-the-loop script for bug diagnosis to capture user feedback. - Created ADR and CONTEXT formats to standardize architectural decision records and domain context documentation. - Developed a domain modeling skill to refine terminology and maintain a shared language. - Enhanced the improve-codebase-architecture skill to provide visual reports and deepening opportunities. - Consolidated grilling and handoff skills for better user interaction and documentation. - Updated existing skills to improve clarity and consistency in descriptions and functionality.

Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.

# Improve Codebase Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Surface architectural friction and propose **deepening opportunities** — refactors that turn shallow modules into deep ones. The aim is testability and AI-navigability.
|
||||
|
||||
## Glossary
|
||||
This command is _informed_ by the project's domain model and built on a shared design vocabulary:
|
||||
|
||||
Use these terms exactly in every suggestion. Consistent language is the point — don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Full definitions in [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Module** — anything with an interface and an implementation (function, class, package, slice).
|
||||
- **Interface** — everything a caller must know to use the module: types, invariants, error modes, ordering, config. Not just the type signature.
|
||||
- **Implementation** — the code inside.
|
||||
- **Depth** — leverage at the interface: a lot of behaviour behind a small interface. **Deep** = high leverage. **Shallow** = interface nearly as complex as the implementation.
|
||||
- **Seam** — where an interface lives; a place behaviour can be altered without editing in place. (Use this, not "boundary.")
|
||||
- **Adapter** — a concrete thing satisfying an interface at a seam.
|
||||
- **Leverage** — what callers get from depth.
|
||||
- **Locality** — what maintainers get from depth: change, bugs, knowledge concentrated in one place.
|
||||
|
||||
Key principles (see [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md) for the full list):
|
||||
|
||||
- **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.
|
||||
- **The interface is the test surface.**
|
||||
- **One adapter = hypothetical seam. Two adapters = real seam.**
|
||||
|
||||
This skill is _informed_ by the project's domain model. The domain language gives names to good seams; ADRs record decisions the skill should not re-litigate.
|
||||
- Run the `/codebase-design` skill for the architecture vocabulary (**module**, **interface**, **depth**, **seam**, **adapter**, **leverage**, **locality**) and its principles (the deletion test, "the interface is the test surface", "one adapter = hypothetical seam, two = real"). Use these terms exactly in every suggestion — don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary."
|
||||
- The domain language in `CONTEXT.md` gives names to good seams; ADRs in `docs/adr/` record decisions this command should not re-litigate.

The report uses **Tailwind via CDN** for layout and styling, and **Mermaid via CDN** for diagrams where a graph/flow/sequence reliably communicates the structure. Mix Mermaid with hand-crafted CSS/SVG visuals — use Mermaid when relationships are graph-shaped (call graphs, dependencies, sequences), and hand-built divs/SVG when you want something more editorial (mass diagrams, cross-sections, collapse animations). Each candidate gets a **before/after visualisation**. Be visual.

**ADR conflicts**: if a candidate contradicts an existing ADR, only surface it when the friction is real enough to warrant revisiting the ADR. Mark it clearly in the card (e.g. a warning callout: _"contradicts ADR-0007 — but worth reopening because…"_). Don't list every theoretical refactor an ADR forbids.

Side effects happen inline as decisions crystallize — run the `/domain-modeling` skill to keep the domain model current as you go:

- **Naming a deepened module after a concept not in `CONTEXT.md`?** Add the term to `CONTEXT.md` — same discipline as `/grill-with-docs` (see [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](../grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)). Create the file lazily if it doesn't exist.

|

- **User rejects the candidate with a load-bearing reason?** Offer an ADR, framed as: _"Want me to record this as an ADR so future architecture reviews don't re-suggest it?"_ Only offer when the reason would actually be needed by a future explorer to avoid re-suggesting the same thing — skip ephemeral reasons ("not worth it right now") and self-evident ones. See [ADR-FORMAT.md](../grill-with-docs/ADR-FORMAT.md).
