Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptShould we split this monolithic service into microservices?
Beforegeneric AI agent
Splitting a monolith is a significant decision with tradeoffs. There are good reasons to do it, like independent scaling and team autonomy, but it introduces complexity in distributed systems, operational overhead, and testing challenges. It really depends on your team size, current pain points, and long-term vision. Do you have specific constraints driving this question? What parts feel like they need to be separate?
Afterwith Grill With Docs
DECISION ANALYSIS vs. EXISTING DOCS

CONFLICT WITH ADR-003 (Monolith-First Policy)
Doc states: Stay monolith until services exceed 200k lines or 8+ teams
Current state: 156k lines, 4 teams
Conclusion: Violates established threshold policy
Action Required: Update ADR-003 or defer split

ALIGNMENT CHECK vs. CONTEXT.md
Documented values: "Operational simplicity over microservices cleverness"
Current proposal: Splits payment + user services
Risk: Creates 3 database schemas, 2 new async queues
Missing from proposal: Operational runbook for split deployments

CRITICAL GAPS
1. ADR-003 suggests deferral; new pain points not yet in docs
2. CONTEXT.md emphasizes observability first; no tracing plan shown
3. Team structure doc (outdated) assumes monolith ownership model

UPDATES TO WRITE
• ADR-004: Justify split against original threshold criteria
• CONTEXT.md: Add "Distributed systems" as new value if proceeding
• Team Structure: Define on-call model for split services

RECOMMENDATION: Refactor payment service to separate package first; defer full split until ADR reviewed
