SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common issue of tightly coupled code where business logic is entangled with infrastructure, frameworks, and external dependencies, making systems difficult to test and evolve.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-Centric Design: Enforces strict boundaries between business logic and infrastructure, ensuring the core application remains framework-agnostic.
  • Dependency Inversion: Uses ports and adapters to decouple the application from databases, APIs, and UI frameworks.
  • Use Case: Use this when refactoring a legacy monolithic service or starting a new project where long-term maintainability and the ability to swap infrastructure components are critical requirements.

Quick Start

Apply the hexagonal architecture skill to refactor the current service by defining inbound and outbound ports for the user registration module.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decouple business logic from infrastructure when refactoring a legacy service?▼

To decouple business logic from infrastructure, implement the Ports and Adapters pattern to isolate core domain rules, ensuring all external side effects are mediated through defined port interfaces for a modular, testable application.

What is the ports and adapters pattern for domain-centric design?▼

The ports and adapters pattern enforces strict boundaries between business logic and infrastructure, using dependency inversion to keep the core application framework-agnostic and fully decoupled from databases, APIs, and UI frameworks.

Can I use hexagonal architecture with TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, and Go?▼

Yes, hexagonal architecture can be applied across TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, and Go to facilitate the creation of modular, testable application layers that isolate business logic from external infrastructure concerns.

When should I use dependency inversion to isolate business logic?▼

Use dependency inversion when long-term maintainability and the ability to swap infrastructure components are critical requirements, or when refactoring a tightly coupled monolithic service where business logic is entangled with frameworks.

Does clean code architecture require defining inbound and outbound ports?▼

Yes, clean code architecture requires defining inbound and outbound ports to mediate external side effects, ensuring the core domain remains decoupled from infrastructure and framework dependencies for better testability.
