## What I do
- Evaluate module boundaries and responsibilities
- Identify design smells (feature envy, shotgun surgery, data clumps)
- Suggest concrete refactorings
- Ensure naming reveals intent

## When to use me
Use this skill when reviewing PRs for code quality, during refactoring planning, or when adding new modules.

## Review Checklist
- [ ] Single responsibility per module/function
- [ ] Low coupling between modules
- [ ] High cohesion within modules
- [ ] Public APIs are minimal and well-documented
- [ ] No circular dependencies
