Improve codebase architecture skill

Improve codebase architecture is part of Matt Pocock's engineering skills. Its job is to scan for deepening opportunities, show them as an HTML report, then grill the one you pick. It runs only when you call it by name; the agent never loads it on its own.

When it runs

Only when you ask for it. The skill turns off automatic loading, so the agent never starts it on its own. This is the description it carries:

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.

What ships with it

Besides SKILL.md, the folder carries these. The agent opens them only when a step in the instructions calls for one.
