What it does
Evanflow Improve Architecture is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Identify refactoring opportunities by surfacing architectural friction. Apply the deletion test, deep-modules vocabulary, and seams analysis. Each opportunity becomes its own evanflow-writing-plans cycle. Use when reviewing code for refactoring, when a file has grown too large, or when architecture concerns surface during feature work.
Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring and Planning. The repository describes itself as: A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development. 16 cohesive Claude Code skills walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → iterate, with checkpoints throughout.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing code for refactoring
- A file has grown too large
- Architecture concerns surface during feature work
Example prompts
- “/evanflow-improve-architecture”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Read Context First
- Identify Candidates
- Apply the Deletion Test
- Embedded Grill — Candidate Selection
- Present Opportunities
- Hand Off Per Opportunity
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9ae21f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Evanflow Improve Architecture loads about 950 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 457 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 457 words (~950 tokens).
“See evanflow meta-skill. Key terms: module, interface, depth, seam, adapter, deletion test.”
