clean-architecture

clean-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 79 tokens per session (3,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Java and Spring Boot guidance for Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design. These are ways to keep business rules separate from frameworks, databases, and other outside services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Design layered applications, define ports and adapters, model entities and value objects, separate business rules from infrastructure, and build testable Spring Boot services.
Why use it?
It helps refactor tightly connected code into parts that are easier to test and replace. It also provides a structure where domain logic can work without starting the full Spring application.

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

clean-architecture 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.

Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture & DDD for Spring Boot

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters), and Domain-Driven Design tactical patterns in Java 21+ Spring Boot 3.5+ applications. It ensures clear separation of concerns, framework-independent domain logic, and highly testable codebases through proper layering and dependency management.

When to Use

  • Architecting new Spring Boot applications with clear separation of concerns
  • Refactoring tightly coupled code into testable, layered architectures
  • Implementing domain logic independent of frameworks and infrastructure
  • Designing ports and adapters for swappable implementations
  • Applying Domain-Driven Design tactical patterns (entities, value objects, aggregates)
  • Creating testable business logic without Spring context dependencies

Instructions

1. Understand the Core Concepts

Clean Architecture Layers (Dependency Rule)

Dependencies flow inward. Inner layers know nothing about outer layers.

Layer Responsibility Spring Boot Equivalent
Domain Entities, value objects, domain events, repository interfaces domain/ - no Spring annotations
Application Use cases, application services, DTOs, ports application/ - @Service, @Transactional
Infrastructure Frameworks, database, external APIs infrastructure/ - @Repository, @Entity
Adapter Controllers, presenters, external gateways adapter/ - @RestController
Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters)
  • Domain Core: Pure Java business logic, no framework dependencies
  • Ports: Interfaces defining contracts (driven and driving)
  • Adapters: Concrete implementations (JPA, REST, messaging)
Domain-Driven Design Tactical Patterns
  • Entities: Objects with identity and lifecycle (e.g., Order, Customer)
  • Value Objects: Immutable, defined by attributes (e.g., Money, Email)
  • Aggregates: Consistency boundary with root entity
  • Domain Events: Capture significant business occurrences
  • Repositories: Persistence abstraction, implemented in infrastructure

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.
