lowyEvaluate architecture and module boundaries for volatility-based decomposition using Juval Lowy's framework (from "Righting Software", building on Parnas 1972).
Lowy is an agent skill from srid/emanote. 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…
Its SKILL.md is about 6.2k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Microservices. The repository describes itself as: Emanate a structured view of your plain-text notes.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d01037. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comrightingsoftware.orgwin.tue.nlinformit.comkolu.devFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Lowy loads about 6.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,402 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.
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.
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,402 words (~6,204 tokens).
“Evaluate module boundaries and decomposition decisions using Juval Lowy's volatility-based decomposition framework. The core question: do your boundaries encapsulate axes of change, or do they just group related functionality?”
Just SKILL.md in .agents/skills/lowy of srid/emanote.

Evaluate architecture and module boundaries for volatility-based decomposition using Juval Lowy's framework (from "Righting Software", building on Parnas 1972). Lowy is an agent skill from srid/emanote. Evaluate architecture and module boundaries for volatility-based decomposition using Juval Lowy's framework (from "Righting Software", building on Parnas 1972).
Lowy fits situations like: reviewing module splits; service boundaries; new abstractions; any decomposition decision.
Run `npx skills add srid/emanote --skill lowy -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/lowy in srid/emanote) into .claude/skills/lowy in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add srid/emanote --skill lowy -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/lowy in srid/emanote) into .agents/skills/lowy in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add srid/emanote --skill lowy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/lowy, .gemini/skills/lowy, .github/skills/lowy and .opencode/skills/lowy in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Lowy needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
SKILL.md names 5 domains. As links in the text: github.com, rightingsoftware.org, win.tue.nl, informit.com and kolu.dev. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Lowy has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
About 6.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 25k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Lowy: Node Backend Development Guidelines (diet103/claude-code-infrastructure-showcase, 10k stars), Nodejs Backend Patterns (ever-works/ever-works, 158 stars), AWS Serverless Eda (zxkane/aws-skills, 367 stars) and Golang Pro (antoniopaya22/go-rest-template, 172 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
srid (a GitHub user) maintains it in srid/emanote, which has 963 GitHub stars. The repository holds 25 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 26, 2026.
