Analyze Patterns Across Your Codebase
Large codebases hide repeated structures and inconsistent decisions. This skill maps design patterns, architecture, conventions, duplication, and anti-patterns with evidence and recommendations.

Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "analyzing-patterns" from https://skillstore.io/skills/c0ntr0lledcha0s-analyzing-patterns.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/c0ntr0lledcha0s-analyzing-patterns/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "analyzing-patterns". Analyze the service directory for design patterns.
Expected outcome:
- Repository pattern: Three data access classes isolate persistence concerns.
- Strategy pattern: Two pricing implementations share a stable selection interface.
- Priority: Standardize repository error handling across all implementations.
Using "analyzing-patterns". Find repeated validation logic in the application.
Expected outcome:
- Three validation flows perform the same normalization and required-field checks.
- The shared behavior is suitable for one reusable validator.
- Keep endpoint-specific authorization checks separate.
Using "analyzing-patterns". Explain the project architecture.
Expected outcome:
The project uses layered architecture with presentation, service, and data access boundaries. Two presentation modules bypass the service layer and need review.
Security Audit
SafeAll 86 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, illustrative pattern examples, or read-only analysis guidance. The bundled Python detector reads local source files and prints matches, with no network access, process spawning, credential handling, or prompt injection evidence.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Review an unfamiliar codebase
Map dominant patterns, layers, conventions, and data flow before making changes.
Plan focused refactoring
Locate repeated structures and anti-patterns, then prioritize practical consolidation work.
Document architecture decisions
Create an evidence-based overview of patterns, boundaries, strengths, and inconsistencies.
Try These Prompts
Analyze [directory] for design patterns. Name each pattern, cite its locations, and explain its purpose.
Review [directory] for repeated structures and conventions. Separate useful consistency from duplication that should be refactored.
Map the architecture of [project]. Describe layers, module boundaries, data flow, dependencies, strengths, and structural concerns with evidence.
Analyze [project] for patterns and anti-patterns. Rank improvements by impact, risk, effort, and affected locations.
Best Practices
- Specify the directory, language, and analysis goal before starting.
- Request file and line evidence for every reported pattern.
- Validate recommendations against runtime constraints and team conventions.
Avoid
- Do not infer architecture from directory names alone.
- Do not treat every repeated structure as harmful duplication.
- Do not recommend design patterns without a concrete maintenance benefit.
