A Philosophy of Software Design Skill

Use this skill when a task involves module design, API design, information hiding, abstraction depth, cognitive load, or refactoring shallow interfaces.

Before making design or code decisions, read and apply a-philosophy-of-software-design.mini.md. Use a-philosophy-of-software-design.md only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current design tradeoff.
