Clean Architecture separates domain logic from infrastructure, grouping business rules into independent layers. This Skill implements that separation alongside Hexagonal Architecture and Domain-Driven Design to ensure backend systems remain maintainable and testable.

You need Domain-Driven Design when architecting complex backend systems or refactoring existing monoliths. This Skill applies DDD techniques to structure domain logic, improving system maintainability, testability, and scalability.

The best way to refactor a monolith is applying proven backend architecture patterns like Clean Architecture and Hexagonal Architecture. This Skill provides implementation guidance to restructure code and domain logic for better testability.

Yes, understanding SOLID principles is required to implement Clean Architecture effectively. This Skill relies on SOLID principles and domain modeling techniques to architect complex backend systems properly.

Hexagonal Architecture improves testability by isolating domain logic behind ports and adapters, allowing external dependencies to be mocked easily. This Skill implements this pattern to ensure backend systems can be tested in isolation.

Clean Architecture focuses on dependency inversion across concentric layers, while Hexagonal Architecture emphasizes decoupling domain logic from external interfaces via ports. This Skill implements both patterns to ensure robust, maintainable backend development.
