bce

bce is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AdamBien/airails. It costs 151 tokens per session (1,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Architecture rules for organizing software around business components, each split into boundary, control, and entity layers. The rules are technology-neutral and can be combined with language- or framework-specific guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing package structures and relationships between business components, or when deciding which layers a component needs. It applies to applications built with different languages and frameworks.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about where code belongs and how business responsibilities should be separated. It also keeps package and directory names aligned with the work the software performs.

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

bce 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pattern

  • structure code using the Boundary-Control-Entity (BCE/ECB) pattern
  • the unit of organization is the business component (BC); each BC owns a responsibility and is composed of one or more layers
  • the three layers are boundary, control, entity; each has a distinct responsibility (see layer sections below)
  • do not explain the BCE pattern in generated documentation

Package / Directory Structure

  • package or directory path: [ORGANIZATION].[PROJECT].[BC].[boundary|control|entity]
  • the top-level package reflects the application responsibility or name
  • business components are direct children of the top-level package and named after their responsibilities
  • the boundary, control, entity segments are only allowed inside a business component
  • name packages after their domain responsibilities, not technical concerns

Business Components (BC)

  • a BC may represent a domain concept or a shared concern; both are valid when the responsibility has a name and is reused
  • a BC does not need every layer; a BC may consist of only a control layer when its responsibility is procedural and consumed by other BCs
  • not every BC needs a dedicated boundary; control contents may be consumed directly when no facade is justified
  • prefer a dedicated BC over the root application package when a shared concern carries domain or protocol semantics, exposes more than one operation, or is expected to grow
  • reserve the root application package for trivial single-class plumbing with no business semantics and no protocol coupling
  • create new BCs with minimal logic and essential fields only

Boundary Layer

  • keep coarse-grained classes in the boundary
  • place facades that adapt external protocols, transports, or UI events to internal operations in the boundary
  • boundary classes are the only entry points called from outside the system; external actors (UI, protocols, transports, tests) never reach control or entity directly
  • cross-cutting concerns that wrap an operation (transactions, authorization checks, request/response mapping) belong in the boundary, not in control or entity

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.

bce is a skill published in the GitHub repository AdamBien/airails (59 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 1,074 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
