lowy
lowy is a Codebase structure & module boundaries skill for AI agents, published by srid in the emanote repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates lowy C (74/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Evaluate architecture and module boundaries for volatility-based decomposition using Juval Lowy's framework (from "Righting Software", building on Parnas 1972). Use when reviewing module splits, service boundaries, new abstractions, or any decomposition decision. Trigger on phrases like "where should this boundary be", "how to split this", "module boundaries", "encapsulate change", "volatility", or references to Lowy, Parnas, or "Righting Software". Complements /hickey (interleaved concerns) with a different lens (change encapsulation).
