Matt PocockNames the things your codebase talks about and keeps those names honest, through a CONTEXT.md and architecture decision records. Worth reaching for when two parts of the system call the same concept different things.
In the author’s words
Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a CONTEXT.md, or recording or editing an ADR.

Goes well with
improve-codebase-architecture
Scans a codebase for deepening opportunities and reports them.
Walks the codebase looking for modules whose interface is wider than the work they do, writes the findings up as a visual report, then works through whichever one you pick. The useful part is that it argues each case rather than handing you a list.

codebase-design
Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules.
Gives the agent language for the thing most architecture conversations lack: where a seam belongs, what makes a module deep rather than wide, and why a narrow interface over real work is easier for both people and agents to navigate.

to-spec
Turns the conversation you just had into a spec.
No interview and no questionnaire. It synthesises what has already been discussed into a spec and publishes it to the issue tracker, which is the step most people skip between deciding and building.
