SKILL.md

Suggest design patterns and evaluate SOLID principles

Suggests design patterns for your code and checks if it follows SOLID principles.

Usage

bash
/design-patterns [analysis_target] [options]

Options

  • --suggest: Suggest applicable patterns (default)
  • --analyze: Analyze existing pattern usage
  • --refactor: Generate refactoring proposals
  • --solid: Check compliance with SOLID principles
  • --anti-patterns: Detect anti-patterns

Basic Examples

bash
# Analyze patterns for entire project
/design-patterns
# Suggest patterns for specific file
/design-patterns src/services/user.js --suggest
# Check SOLID principles
/design-patterns --solid
# Detect anti-patterns
/design-patterns --anti-patterns

Pattern Categories

1. Creational Patterns
  • Factory Pattern: Abstracts object creation
  • Builder Pattern: Step-by-step construction of complex objects
  • Singleton Pattern: Ensures only one instance exists
  • Prototype Pattern: Creates object clones
2. Structural Patterns
  • Adapter Pattern: Converts interfaces
  • Decorator Pattern: Dynamically adds functionality
  • Facade Pattern: Simplifies complex subsystems
  • Proxy Pattern: Controls access to objects
3. Behavioral Patterns
  • Observer Pattern: Implements event notifications
  • Strategy Pattern: Switches algorithms
  • Command Pattern: Encapsulates operations
  • Iterator Pattern: Traverses collections

SOLID Principles We Check

text
S - Single Responsibility (one class, one job)
O - Open/Closed (open for extension, closed for modification)
L - Liskov Substitution (subtypes should be replaceable)
I - Interface Segregation (don't force unused methods)
D - Dependency Inversion (depend on abstractions, not details)

Output Example

text
Design Pattern Analysis Report
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Currently Used Patterns
├─ Observer Pattern: EventEmitter (12 instances)
├─ Factory Pattern: UserFactory (3 instances)
├─ Singleton Pattern: DatabaseConnection (1 instance)
└─ Strategy Pattern: PaymentProcessor (5 instances)
Recommended Patterns
├─ [HIGH] Repository Pattern
│ └─ Where: src/models/*.js
│ └─ Why: Separate data access from business logic
│ └─ Example:
│ class UserRepository {
│ async findById(id) { ... }
│ async save(user) { ... }
│ }
│
├─ [MED] Command Pattern
│ └─ Where: src/api/handlers/*.js
│ └─ Why: Standardize how requests are handled
│
└─ [LOW] Decorator Pattern
└─ Where: src/middleware/*.js
└─ Why: Better way to combine features
SOLID Violations Found
├─ [S] UserService: Does too much (auth AND authorization)
├─ [O] PaymentGateway: Must change code to add payment types
├─ [D] EmailService: Depends on specific classes, not interfaces
└─ [I] IDataStore: Has methods nobody uses
How to Fix
1. Split UserService into AuthService and AuthorizationService
2. Add a PaymentStrategy interface for new payment types
3. Create an EmailService interface
4. Break up IDataStore into smaller interfaces

Advanced Usage Examples

bash
# See what happens if you use a pattern
/design-patterns --impact-analysis Repository
# Get example code for a pattern
/design-patterns --generate Factory --for src/models/Product.js
# Find patterns that work well together
/design-patterns --combine --context "API with caching"
# Check your architecture
/design-patterns --architecture MVC

Example: Before and After

Before (Problem Code)
javascript
class OrderService {
processOrder(order, paymentType) {
if (paymentType === "credit") {
// Credit card processing
} else if (paymentType === "paypal") {
// PayPal processing
}
// Other payment methods...
}
}
After (Applying Strategy Pattern)
javascript
// Strategy interface
class PaymentStrategy {
process(amount) {
throw new Error("Must implement process method");
}
}
// Concrete strategies
class CreditCardPayment extends PaymentStrategy {
process(amount) {
/* Implementation */
}
}
// Context
class OrderService {
constructor(paymentStrategy) {
this.paymentStrategy = paymentStrategy;
}
processOrder(order) {
this.paymentStrategy.process(order.total);
}
}

Anti-Patterns We Find

  • God Object: Classes that do everything
  • Spaghetti Code: Tangled mess of control flow
  • Copy-Paste Programming: Same code everywhere
  • Magic Numbers: Random numbers with no explanation
  • Callback Hell: Callbacks inside callbacks inside callbacks

Best Practices

  1. Go slow: Add patterns one at a time
  2. Need first: Only use patterns to solve real problems
  3. Talk it out: Get team buy-in before big changes
  4. Write it down: Document why you chose each pattern
