codebase-design
codebase-design is a Design patterns & component architecture skill for AI agents, published by citypaul in the .dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates codebase-design C (71/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Design and evaluate deep modules: cohesive responsibility behind a small, stable caller-facing contract, with information hiding, justified seams, explicit effects, dependency strategy, and behavior-focused tests. Use when designing or changing an in-process module or package contract, consolidating shallow pass-through modules, deciding what to hide, comparing alternative interfaces, or asking whether code should be combined or split for leverage and locality. For physical layout use structure-codebase; for public compatibility use api-design; for a repository-wide scan use improve-codebase-architecture. For an already-selected whole-path requirement to support a calibrated net-mechanism-reduction claim, use reduce-system-complexity.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.
Not launch-quality. It is graded C with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
