Shared vocabulary and principles for designing deep modules — small interfaces, clean seams, testable through the interface — grounded in Ousterhout's A Philosophy of Software Design. Holds the seam doc format, the default seam catalog and the book's red flags. Use when designing or improving a module's interface, deciding where a seam goes, writing a seam doc, hunting deepening opportunities, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'codebase-design' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'codebase-design' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named codebase-design already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ayoubben18/ab-method' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f42668f49e75d4ecde7a9379bee78283e7965765' -- '.agents/skills/codebase-design' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/codebase-design' ~/.agents/skills/'codebase-design' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'codebase-design' ~/.claude/skills/'codebase-design' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
