Pack it up
summary
Packwerk is a gem that marks folders as packages and reports unaccepted inter-package references; its limits include missed non-autoloaded files and tempting broad public APIs when privacy rules are naively fixed. Gusto extends it with PKS Rust implementation for full-file parsing, privacy/visibility/layers enforcement, a code-ownership gem, Danger integration, visualize_packs and an open-sourced chatwork agent. Teams use it to flag extractable services, but find violations lists grow and discover tooling cannot replace hiring, training, or fixing social incentives.
