What problem does it solve?
Domain complexity often outpaces team communication, causing misaligned models, inconsistent terminology, and fragile boundaries. This skill provides a comprehensive blueprint for designing software around business domains using Domain-Driven Design, unifying language, and establishing bounded contexts to improve maintainability and collaboration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ubiquitous Language enforcement across code and conversations to prevent vocabulary drift.
- Tactical building blocks: Aggregates, Entities, Value Objects, Domain Events, Factories, Repositories, and Specifications to model invariants and intent.
- Strategic design: Bounded Contexts, Context Maps, Subdomains classification (Core, Supporting, Generic), and ACLs to protect context boundaries.
- Layered architecture guidance and DIP-aligned boundaries to enable testable domains and swappable infrastructure.
- Use cases include designing a new domain, reviewing modules for language consistency, and refactoring to introduce explicit boundaries in existing systems.
Quick Start
Configure your project by mapping core domain concepts to aggregates and value objects, define bounded contexts, and draft a context map guided by Evans' DDD framework.
