domain

An instruction for exploring a software project’s domain documentation before changing its code. It points the agent to architecture notes, a domain glossary, and architectural decision records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when investigating or modifying a project that has files such as CLAUDE.md, CONTEXT.md, or docs/adr, so the work follows the project’s documented vocabulary and decisions.
Why use it?
It reduces misunderstandings about business terms and previous design decisions when working in an unfamiliar codebase.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

domain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to domain — 33 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Domain Docs

How the engineering skills should consume this repo's domain documentation when exploring the codebase.

This is a single-context repo: one CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root cover the whole Dotty stack. (Note: CLAUDE.md at the root is the always-on architecture reference and the authoritative starting point regardless — CONTEXT.md is the lazily-grown domain glossary the producer skills maintain.)

Before exploring, read these

  • CONTEXT.md at the repo root.
  • docs/adr/ — read ADRs that touch the area you're about to work in.

If any of these files don't exist, proceed silently. Don't flag their absence; don't suggest creating them upfront. The producer skill (/grill-with-docs) creates them lazily when terms or decisions actually get resolved.

File structure

Single-context repo:

/
├── CLAUDE.md          ← always-on architecture reference (already exists)
├── CONTEXT.md         ← domain glossary (created lazily by /grill-with-docs)
├── docs/adr/          ← architectural decision records (created lazily)
│   ├── 0001-....md
│   └── 0002-....md
└── ...

Use the glossary's vocabulary

When your output names a domain concept (in an issue title, a refactor proposal, a hypothesis, a test name), use the term as defined in CONTEXT.md. Don't drift to synonyms the glossary explicitly avoids.

If the concept you need isn't in the glossary yet, that's a signal — either you're inventing language the project doesn't use (reconsider) or there's a real gap (note it for /grill-with-docs).

Flag ADR conflicts

If your output contradicts an existing ADR, surface it explicitly rather than silently overriding:

Contradicts ADR-0007 (...) — but worth reopening because…

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

domain is an agent published in the GitHub repository BrettKinny/dotty-stackchan (105 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 417 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to domain, differing in 33 lines, and is treated as a copy.
