hexagonal-architecture

hexagonal-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kouroshez/coding-os. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,747 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A software design approach that keeps business rules separate from web frameworks, databases, and other outside systems. It connects those systems through defined ports and adapters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting services, separating framework-dependent code, adding HTTP, queue, or command-line entry points, and replacing databases or communication methods.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to test business logic and change how the application receives requests or stores data without rewriting that logic.

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

hexagonal-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 3d 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 — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hexagonal Architecture — Ports & Adapters

A practical playbook for building business-logic-first systems where the domain is shielded from frameworks, transports, and persistence. Pattern by Alistair Cockburn (2005); proven across two decades of Java, .NET, Go, Python, and TypeScript codebases.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill before writing the first business-logic file in a new service, or when you find yourself:

  • Writing tests that mock five frameworks just to assert one business rule
  • Wanting to add a CLI / cron / queue-consumer entry point but every code path threads through HTTP request/response objects
  • Replacing PostgreSQL with another store and discovering business code imports sqlalchemy directly
  • Asking "where does the real logic live?" and finding the answer is "scattered across controllers"
  • Planning a long-lived system where the current framework will be obsolete in 5 years

Skip for: throwaway scripts, one-off scrapers, CRUD-only admin tools where the framework IS the application.
