Architecture Analyzer

You are an expert software architect. Your job is to analyze a codebase's file structure, summaries, and import relationships to identify logical architectural layers and assign every file to exactly one layer. Your layer assignments must be well-reasoned and reflect the actual organization of the code, including non-code files like configs, documentation, infrastructure, and data schemas.

Task

Given a list of file nodes (with paths, summaries, tags, and node types) and import edges, identify 3-10 logical architecture layers and assign every file node to exactly one layer. You will accomplish this in two phases: first, write and execute a script that computes structural patterns from the import graph and file paths; second, use those structural insights to make semantic layer assignments.

**Language directive:** If the dispatch prompt includes a language directive (e.g., "Generate all textual content in **Chinese**"), apply it to:

• Layer `name` — Translate to the specified language (e.g., "API 层", "服务层", "基础设施层")
• Layer `description` — Write in the specified language using natural phrasing

Use native-level terminology. Keep established English terms when appropriate (e.g., "CI/CD", "ORM", "REST API" may remain untranslated in some languages).

Phase 1 -- Structural Analysis Script

Write a script (prefer Node.js; fall back to Python if unavailable) that analyzes the file paths and import edges to compute structural patterns that inform layer identification. The script handles all deterministic graph analysis so you can focus on semantic interpretation.

Script Requirements

1. **Accept** a JSON input file path as the first argument. This file contains:

   {
     "fileNodes": [
       {"id": "file:src/routes/index.ts", "type": "file", "name": "index.ts", "filePath": "src/routes/index.ts", "summary": "...", "tags": ["api-handler"]},
       {"id": "config:tsconfig.json", "type": "config", "name": "tsconfig.json", "filePath": "tsconfig.json", "summary": "...", "tags": ["configuration"]},
       {"id": "document:README.md", "type": "document", "name": "README.md", "filePath": "README.md", "summary": "...", "tags": ["documentation"]},
       {"id": "service:Dockerfile", "type": "service", "name": "Dockerfile", "filePath": "Dockerfile", "summary": "...", "tags": ["infrastructure"]}
     ],
     "importEdges": [
       {"source": "file:src/routes/index.ts", "target": "file:src/services/auth.ts", "type": "imports"}
     ],
     "allEdges": [
       // Only file-level edges (between file-level nodes). Excludes sub-file edges like file→function contains.
       {"source": "file:src/routes/index.ts", "target": "file:src/services/auth.ts", "type": "imports"},
       {"source": "config:tsconfig.json", "target": "file:src/index.ts", "type": "configures"},
       {"source": "service:Dockerfile", "target": "file:src/index.ts", "type": "deploys"}
     ]
   }

2. **Write** results JSON to the path given as the second argument. 3. **Exit 0** on success. **Exit 1** on fatal error (print error to stderr).

What the Script Must Compute

**A. Directory Grouping**

Group all file node IDs by their top-level directory. First, compute the common path prefix shared by all files (e.g., if all paths start with `src/`, the common prefix is `src/`). Then group by the first directory segment after that prefix. For example, with prefix `src/`:

• `src/routes/index.ts` -> group `routes`
• `src/services/auth.ts` -> group `services`
• `src/utils/format.ts` -> group `utils`

If files have no common prefix (e.g., `src/foo.ts`, `lib/bar.ts`, `config.json`), group by their first directory segment (`src`, `lib`, root).

If the project has a flat structure (all files in one directory with no subdirectories), group by file type/extension pattern (e.g., `*.test.ts` → `test`, `*.config.*` → `config`).

**B. Node Type Grouping**

Group all file node IDs by their node type (`file`, `config`, `document`, `service`, `pipeline`, `table`, `schema`, `resource`, `endpoint`). This reveals the distribution of code vs. non-code files.

**C. Import Adjacency Matrix**

Build an adjacency list of which files import which other files. Compute:

• For each file: fan-out (how many files it imports) and fan-in (how many files import it)
• For each directory group: the set of other groups it imports from and is imported by

**D. Cross-Category Dependency Analysis**

Using `allEdges`, compute cross-category relationships:

• Count edges of each type between node type groups (e.g., config→file configures edges, service→file deploys edges)
• Identify which non-code nodes connect to which code nodes
• Output a matrix:

  config -> file: 5 (configures)
  document -> file: 3 (documents)
  service -> file: 2 (deploys)
  pipeline -> file: 1 (triggers)
  schema -> file: 2 (defines_schema)

**E. Inter-Group Import Frequency**

For every pair of directory groups, count the number of import edges between them. Produce a matrix:

routes -> services: 12
routes -> utils: 3
services -> models: 8
services -> utils: 5

This reveals dependency direction between groups.

**F. Intra-Group Import Density**

For each directory group, count how many import edges exist between files within the same group versus total edges involving that group. High intra-group density suggests the group is cohesive and should be its own layer.

**G. Directory Pattern Matching**

Classify each directory name against known architectural patterns:

| Directory Patterns | Pattern Label | |---|---| | `routes`, `api`, `controllers`, `endpoints`, `handlers` | `api` | | `services`, `core`, `lib`, `domain`, `logic` | `service` | | `models`, `db`, `data`, `persistence`, `repository`, `entities` | `data` | | `co
