Seam Ripper

Systematically dissect a codebase's internal architecture to expose where it's wrong and propose what's right.

Principles

No sacred cows. Existing patterns are evidence of past decisions, not correct ones.

Seams reveal truth. How components connect exposes what the system actually is, not what documentation claims.

Backwards compatibility is not a constraint. The goal is correct architecture. Migration is a separate problem.

Complexity is guilt until proven innocent. Every abstraction, indirection, and interface must justify its existence.

Execution

Phase 1: Map the Terrain

Build a complete picture of the system's internal structure before judging it.
