nw-ddd-tactical

nw-ddd-tactical is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,420 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) rules for shaping the business logic inside one software boundary. It covers aggregates, entities, value objects, domain events, repositories, and domain services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing a domain model: choosing aggregate boundaries, representing business concepts, coordinating changes, and reviewing implementation patterns.
Why use it?
It helps prevent business rules from becoming tangled across unrelated parts of the system. The guidance also flags designs that cause unnecessary coupling, concurrency problems, or oversized transactions.

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-tactical 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 6d 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.

Tactical DDD

Implementation patterns within a bounded context. Tactical DDD answers: "How do we structure the domain model?"

Aggregates

An aggregate is a consistency boundary -- a cluster of domain objects that must be transactionally consistent.

Vernon's Four Design Rules

  1. Model true invariants in consistency boundaries: Only include elements that MUST be consistent within the same transaction. If two entities don't share an invariant, they belong in separate aggregates.

  2. Design small aggregates: ~70% of aggregates contain only a root entity with value-typed properties. Large aggregates create concurrency contention, scalability failures, and memory pressure.

  3. Reference other aggregates by identity: Use ProductId not Product. Direct object references create accidental cross-aggregate transactions and prevent independent scaling.

  4. Use eventual consistency outside the boundary: Domain events communicate across aggregates. One transaction = one aggregate. If you need to update two aggregates "atomically," reconsider your boundaries.

Aggregate Design Checklist

  • Contains only elements sharing true invariants
  • Root entity controls all access (no direct child manipulation)
  • External references by ID only (no object graphs)
  • Small enough for single-transaction performance
  • Command produces events (in event-sourced systems) or mutates state (in traditional)
  • Business rules validated in command handling, not in persistence layer

Common Aggregate Smells

Smell Signal Fix
God Aggregate >5 entities, frequent concurrency conflicts Split by invariant analysis
Anemic Aggregate All logic in services, aggregate = data bag Move business rules into aggregate methods
Cross-Aggregate Transaction Two aggregates modified in one DB transaction Use domain events + eventual consistency
Deep Nesting Aggregate root -> entity -> entity -> value Flatten; promote nested entities to own aggregates
Missing Aggregate Business rules scattered in application services Identify invariant cluster, create aggregate

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.

nw-ddd-tactical is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (610 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,420 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.
