nw-ddd-strategic

nw-ddd-strategic is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Domain-Driven Design techniques for finding software boundaries and describing how different parts of a business relate. It explains bounded contexts, subdomains, shared language, and context maps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide a complex business into areas, classify each area, align teams around shared terms, and plan integrations between software contexts.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid using the same model or terminology everywhere when different groups mean different things. This makes service boundaries and build-versus-buy decisions clearer.

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

nw-ddd-strategic 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 9d 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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategic DDD

Domain discovery and boundary definition at the organizational level. Strategic DDD answers: "Where are the boundaries?" and "How do contexts relate?"

Subdomain Classification

Subdomains exist in the problem space. Classify before modeling.

Type Competitive advantage Build or buy DDD investment Staffing
Core Yes, unique differentiator Build in-house Full strategic + tactical Senior talent
Supporting No, enables core Build (simplified) or outsource Pragmatic tactical Mid-level
Generic No, commodity Buy/integrate (Stripe, Auth0) Minimal/none Junior/integration

Decision heuristic: If two competitors solve this the same way, it's Generic. If your approach gives you an edge, it's Core. Everything else is Supporting.

Bounded Context Discovery

A bounded context is a software boundary within which a model is consistent. Different from subdomains (problem-space). They should align but are independent concepts.

Discovery Techniques

Language divergence (primary signal): When the same word means different things to different groups, you've found a boundary. "Account" in billing vs. "Account" in identity. "Product" in catalog vs. "Product" in inventory.

Organizational structure: Teams that communicate frequently often share a context. Teams with formal handoffs often have separate contexts. Conway's Law applies.

Consistency requirements: Where true invariants must be maintained transactionally defines aggregate boundaries, which cluster into contexts.

EventStorming Big Picture: Domain events placed on timeline. When events cluster into distinct swimlanes with different actors and vocabulary, those are context candidates.

Domain Storytelling: Actors perform activities on work objects. When actors, activities, or work objects change meaning, you've crossed a boundary.

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.

nw-ddd-strategic is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (610 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,351 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
