review-software-architecture

Evaluate software architecture at the system level for quality attributes, design principles adherence, and long-term maintainability.

Expected: Clear picture of what the system does and what it depends on. On failure: If architecture documentation is missing, derive the context from code structure, configs, and deployment files.

Coupling Assessment Examine how tightly modules depend on each other:

Review software architecture for coupling, cohesion, SOLID principles, API design, scalability, and technical debt. Covers system-level evaluation, architecture decision record review, and improvement recommendations. Use when evaluating a proposed architecture before implementation, assessing an existing system for scalability or security, reviewing ADRs, performing a technical debt assessment, or evaluating readiness for significant scale-up.
