hexagonal-architecture

hexagonal-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,377 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hexagonal-architecture, Apache-2.0.

A software design approach that keeps business rules separate from databases, web frameworks, message systems, and other outside tools. It uses defined interfaces so the application core can work with different adapters at its edges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design new services, refactor framework-heavy code, or support the same use case through HTTP, command-line tools, queues, or scheduled jobs. It applies to TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, and Go services.
Why use it?
It reduces tight connections between business logic and infrastructure, making code easier to test, change, and maintain. Replacing a database, external API, or user interface does not require rewriting the core rules.

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 5d 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.

Hexagonal Architecture

Hexagonal architecture (Ports and Adapters) keeps business logic independent from frameworks, transport, and persistence details. The core app depends on abstract ports, and adapters implement those ports at the edges.

When to Use

  • Building new features where long-term maintainability and testability matter.
  • Refactoring layered or framework-heavy code where domain logic is mixed with I/O concerns.
  • Supporting multiple interfaces for the same use case (HTTP, CLI, queue workers, cron jobs).
  • Replacing infrastructure (database, external APIs, message bus) without rewriting business rules.

Use this skill when the request involves boundaries, domain-centric design, refactoring tightly coupled services, or decoupling application logic from specific libraries.

Core Concepts

  • Domain model: Business rules and entities/value objects. No framework imports.
  • Use cases (application layer): Orchestrate domain behavior and workflow steps.
  • Inbound ports: Contracts describing what the application can do (commands/queries/use-case interfaces).
  • Outbound ports: Contracts for dependencies the application needs (repositories, gateways, event publishers, clock, UUID, etc.).
  • Adapters: Infrastructure and delivery implementations of ports (HTTP controllers, DB repositories, queue consumers, SDK wrappers).
  • Composition root: Single wiring location where concrete adapters are bound to use cases.

Outbound port interfaces usually live in the application layer (or in domain only when the abstraction is truly domain-level), while infrastructure adapters implement them.

Dependency direction is always inward:

  • Adapters -> application/domain
  • Application -> port interfaces (inbound/outbound contracts)
  • Domain -> domain-only abstractions (no framework or infrastructure dependencies)
  • Domain -> nothing external

How It Works

Step 1: Model a use case boundary

Define a single use case with a clear input and output DTO. Keep transport details (Express req, GraphQL context, job payload wrappers) outside this boundary.
