python-pure-domain-layer

python-pure-domain-layer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from denyszhak/pystack-skills. It costs 193 tokens per session (3,617 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python design pattern that keeps business rules in plain Python classes, separate from databases and web frameworks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for dense business rules, portable domain models, changing persistence systems, or separate write and read data shapes.
Why use it?
It makes core rules easier to test without a database and easier to move between storage systems or services, at the cost of extra translation code.

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

python-pure-domain-layer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/order_domain.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 428 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pure domain layer (Cosmic Python style)

This is the opt-in alternative to python-aggregate-and-repo. The default style (SA model with behavior) is faster to write and read; this style adds boilerplate in exchange for a domain that knows nothing about SQLAlchemy. Switch to this when:

  • Your invariants are dense enough that you want sub-millisecond unit tests without a DB
  • You expect the persistence story to change (Postgres → DynamoDB; or microservice → event-sourced)
  • You have multiple persistence shapes for the same aggregate (write store + read store)
  • You want the domain to be portable across services without dragging SA along

The cost: every aggregate exists in two places (the pure app/domain/<x>.py and the SA app/models/<x>.py), with translation methods (from_domain / to_domain) bridging them. That's real boilerplate. It pays back when invariants justify it.

This skill encodes the Cosmic Python pattern, modernized for Python 3.12+ typing.

Relationship to the default skill

python-aggregate-and-repo (the default) and this skill are two points on the same tradeoff curve, both legitimate. The default trades strict framework-freedom for less code. This skill trades more boilerplate for a domain that knows nothing about SQLAlchemy.

Context worth knowing: When Cosmic Python was written (2020), the alternative to imperative mapping was untyped classic-style declarative — genuinely worse than pure domain. SA 2.0's typed Mapped[] style narrowed that gap considerably; class Order(Base): id: Mapped[UUID] = mapped_column(primary_key=True) is type-safe and unobtrusive. Whether that narrowing changes the calculus for your project depends on how dense your invariants are. Pick this skill when you want a domain that's truly framework-free; pick the default when the translation boilerplate would outweigh the gain.

Both choices are correct for their contexts.

When to use this skill

  • The codebase already has app/domain/ (this is the strong signal)
  • You're starting a system with rich business invariants (insurance pricing, financial settlement, multi-step fulfillment)
  • You want pure-Python aggregate tests that run in microseconds

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.
