Choosing between Clean Architecture and Hexagonal Architecture depends on your domain complexity. This Skill guides selecting the appropriate backend pattern by evaluating domain boundaries, module interfaces, and dependency rules to match your system's specific maintainability and testability needs.

The best way to refactor a monolith using Domain-Driven Design is to clarify domain boundaries and apply targeted migration steps. This Skill provides templates and validation checks to guide decomposition, encode dependency rules, and ensure consistent architectural decisions during the transition.

Yes, you can use these architecture patterns to establish team-wide backend standards. The Skill encodes dependency rules, provides structural templates, and documents best-practice constraints, enabling teams to drive consistent architectural decisions across new and existing projects.

You need Domain-Driven Design for your backend architecture when domain complexity is high and maintainability is critical. This Skill helps clarify domain boundaries, define module interfaces, and select appropriate patterns like DDD to improve system testability and scalability.

To implement Hexagonal Architecture interfaces correctly, you must define clear module boundaries and encode strict dependency rules. This Skill guides interface definition and provides validation checks and templates to audit your implementation against best-practice constraints.
