Architecture Optimization

Optimize a working codebase on three axes at once — architecture, code quality, and performance — without breaking what works. This is an interactive, resumable journey of eight phases: the agent asks before every decision and records the outcome in your project's docs/ folder, so you can stop after any phase and pick up later. It is for a system that ships and earns but has grown slow and tangled; the structure phases make the code safe and cheap to change, the performance phases make it measurably fast, and the closing phases keep it that way.

Core Principle

Measure before optimizing, pin before restructuring — the profiler and the safety net decide, not intuition. Premature optimization is the root of much evil not because optimization is bad, but because unmeasured optimization targets the wrong 97% of the code; and a restructure without pinned behavior is a gamble, not an improvement. This skill sequences the phases, asks the decision questions, and records every choice in docs/. The constituent skills carry the method — invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks.

Journey Map

Phase	Skill	Question it answers	Artifact
1	working-with-legacy-code	Is behavior pinned and performance measured, so every change is provable?	Creates docs/PERFORMANCE.md + docs/TECH-DEBT.md; extends docs/TESTING.md — GATE
2	clean-architecture	Do dependencies still point inward, or has the boundary drifted as the code grew?	Extends docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
3	software-design-philosophy	Are modules deep, or has the structure itself become the complexity?	Extends docs/TECH-DEBT.md
4	refactoring-patterns	Can we reshape the hot paths in named, behavior-preserving steps?	Extends docs/TECH-DEBT.md + docs/TESTING.md
5	system-design	What does the measured load say the bottleneck is, and what is the cheapest fix?	Extends docs/PERFORMANCE.md + docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
6	ddia-systems	Is the data layer the bottleneck — queries, indexes, isolation, derived data?	Extends docs/ARCHITECTURE.md + docs/PERFORMANCE.md
7	release-it	Does it stay fast and stable when a dependency is slow or down?	Creates-or-extends docs/RELIABILITY.md
8	pragmatic-programmer	What budgets and habits keep it fast and clean after we stop?	Extends docs/PERFORMANCE.md + docs/TECH-DEBT.md + docs/TESTING.md

Operating Rules

Resume first. Before anything else, read docs/ARCHITECTURE-OPTIMIZATION-PLAN.md and every artifact in the Journey Map. If the tracker exists, summarize the journey state in 3-5 lines and ask which phase to enter. Done when the user has confirmed an entry point. A journey with a tracker is resumed, never restarted.
Intake on first run only. No tracker: run the Intake below, then create docs/ARCHITECTURE-OPTIMIZATION-PLAN.md with every phase statused pending | in-progress | awaiting-evidence | done | deferred: reason | skipped: reason. Done when the tracker exists and the user has confirmed the phase plan.
Phase entry. Announce: what the phase does, the decision it forces, the artifact it produces, rough effort. Offer proceed / skip / defer — phases marked GATE may be deferred, never skipped. Mark the phase in-progress on proceed. Done when the user chose.
Skill invocation and fallback. Load the phase's skill and use it: each phase's Invoke line names the skill by slug — use that skill to run the phase. If it is not available, offer: npx skills add wondelai/skills/<slug> --global. If the user declines, run the phase from its Brief — the minimum viable method. State which mode you are in.
In-phase decisions. Ask every question under "Decide with the user" — with concrete options and your recommendation. Record the choice in the tracker's Key Decisions. A decision made silently is a defect.
Phase exit. Present the draft artifact content for sign-off before writing. On approval: write or extend the docs/ files, update the tracker (status, Key Decisions, Next Actions). Done when the files are written and the phase row shows done.
Artifact discipline. Read before writing; create a file only if missing, otherwise extend — add or update your sections, preserve everyone else's. Files are UPPERCASE in docs/. Every recommendation lands as a checkbox or a table row with owner and priority. See references/artifact-templates.md when creating a docs/ file for the first time — create it from the full skeleton (all section headings), then fill the sections your phase names.
Never optimize unmeasured, never restructure unpinned. Every change made to reduce a measured baseline cites that baseline and lands in the PERFORMANCE.md Optimization Ledger with before/after — one that doesn't move its number gets reverted, not kept. (Resilience and gating work — timeouts, breakers, bulkheads, pagination, CI gates — is judged by the Done-when of its own phase, not by a latency delta.) Structural changes touch only code pinned in the Safety Net Map, preserve behavior, and land in structure-only commits separate from behavior and optimization commits.

Intake

Ask these before creating the tracker:

What does the system do, and what does "too slow" cost — lost users, SLA breaches, infra bills? (Frames which metric matters and how much effort the journey is worth.)
What is the evidence so far — APM traces, slow-query logs, p95 latencies, a cloud bill, or just complaints? (Feeds the Phase 1 baseline; complaints alone mean instrumentation comes first.)
Which flows or endpoints hurt most, and which modules implement them? (Picks the hot paths every phase works on.)
Do automated tests exist and run green? (Scopes the Phase 1 safety net — unpinned hot paths get pinned before anything touches them.)
What is the stack — language, framework, ORM, database, cache — and where does it run? (Gates Phases 5-6.)
What are the real load numbers — QPS average and peak, data volumes, growth rate? (Gates Phase 5 — sizing by numbers, not fear.)
How much of the journey do you want now? (Phases 1-4 make it safe and clean to change; 5-6 make it fast; 7-8 keep it that way.)

Skip heuristics: compress Phases 2-3 to an audit-only pass when the structure is sound and the pain is purely performance — record what the audit found either way and status the phase done with an "audit only, no changes" note; skip Phase 7 only when a prior journey's RELIABILITY.md Integration-Point Audit is verifiably current (check the file, don't assume). Never skip Phase 1 — an optimization without a baseline is a guess, and a restructure without a net is a gamble.

Then create docs/ARCHITECTURE-OPTIMIZATION-PLAN.md from the template and confirm the plan. Done when the tracker exists with every phase statused and the user has confirmed the plan.

Phases

Phases run in the listed order — each assumes the previous phase's artifact exists. Structure before speed is deliberate: Phases 2-4 make the hot paths safe and cheap to change, which is what makes the Phase 5-6 optimizations small diffs instead of surgery. Any phase can be entered, skipped, or deferred per the Operating Rules, but Phase 1 gates them all — as two independent nets: pinned behavior unlocks Phases 2-4, and a recorded baseline unlocks Phases 5-6, so structure work need not wait on a profile that takes weeks to gather. Phases 5 and 6 may be swapped when the Phase 1 profile shows the database dominating: fixing an N+1 or a missing index before adding a cache is the skill's own cheapest-first law. When running any phase from its Brief (constituent skill not installed), read references/methods.md first — it carries each phase's full method, checklists, formulas, and heuristics; the Brief is only the summary.

Phase 1 — Pin it and measure it (working-with-legacy-code) — GATE

Purpose: Make every later change provable twice over — behavior pinned by tests, performance pinned by numbers. No phase touches unpinned code or optimizes an unmeasured path.

Brief (fallback): Two nets. Behavior: code without tests is legacy code — cover and modify, never edit and pray. Find the change points on the hot paths, break inline dependencies at the least-invasive seam (Parameterize Constructor with a production default; Extract and Override for one buried call), and write characterization tests that photograph actual behavior — assert something wrong, read the failure, pin the real value. Performance: profile before touching anything — the bottleneck is rarely where intuition points. Record p50/p95/p99 latency, throughput, and resource use per hot flow under realistic data volumes (dev-database timings lie), and work the USE method (Gregg) per resource: Utilization, Saturation, Errors for CPU, memory, disk, network, and connection pools. Set the budget each metric must meet, so "done" is a number, not a feeling.

Invoke: Use the working-with-legacy-code skill with the hot-path modules from intake. Ask for the seams and the smallest characterization-test set that pins current behavior of each flow to be optimized; then capture profiler or APM baselines for those flows.

Decide with the user: (1) Confirm the hot paths in scope — measured pain, not suspicion. (2) The budget per metric (e.g. checkout p95 < 500ms) and the tool of record (profiler, APM, load test) so before/after numbers stay comparable. (3) Bugs found while characterizing: pin the current behavior and ledger them, never silently fix — callers may depend on the quirk.

Artifact: Extend docs/TESTING.md ## Safety Net Map and ## Characterization Backlog; create docs/PERFORMANCE.md with ## Baselines & Budgets, ## Load Reality, ## Profile Findings, and ## Optimization Ledger; create-or-extend docs/TECH-DEBT.md ## Debt Ledger and ## Sprout / Wrap Register for bugs pinned as-is and untested hosts. Update the tracker.

Done when: every in-scope flow has pinned behavior (suite green) — which unlocks Phases 2-4 — and a recorded baseline with a budget, which unlocks Phases 5-6. Record the two separately; a profile still being gathered parks at awaiting-evidence with a Next Actions row rather than blocking the structure phases.

Phase 2 — Re-draw the drifted boundaries (clean-architecture)

Purpose: Restore the Dependency Rule the codebase grew away from — mixed concerns are why changes feel risky and why the slow parts can't be optimized in isolation.

Brief (fallback): Source dependencies point inward: Frameworks → Interface Adapters → Use Cases → Entities; nothing inner names anything outer. In a grown codebase the drift is concrete: business logic importing the ORM, controllers comput
