ddd-best-practices

ddd-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OKHP3/skillz. It costs 114 tokens per session (2,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Domain-Driven Design, a way to shape software around the real business problem and its terminology. It covers business boundaries, aggregates, domain events, and repository contracts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define bounded contexts, identify subdomains, design aggregate boundaries and roots, name domain concepts, and represent business events and failures.
Why use it?
It helps teams model complex business rules without mixing them with infrastructure details.

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

ddd-best-practices 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.

DDD Best Practices

Use this skill when the main question is how to model a domain, where to draw boundaries, or how to structure collaboration between subdomains.

Working Style

  1. Start from the domain problem, not from technical constructs.
  2. Build a Ubiquitous Language before writing any code.
  3. Keep Aggregates small — consistency boundary, not convenience grouping.
  4. Prefer Value Objects when a domain concept has value semantics, not as a blanket wrapper for every primitive.
  5. Let Domain Events tell the story of what happened, not what to do next.
  6. Never let infrastructure concerns leak into the domain model.

Design Workflow

  1. Discover the domain.

    • Who are the domain experts? What language do they use?
    • What are the core subdomains (Core, Supporting, Generic)?
    • Where does the most complex business logic live?
  2. Draw Bounded Contexts.

    • One model per context — resist the urge to share models across contexts.
    • Name each context after a team or capability, not a technical layer.
    • Define context relationships explicitly (Partnership, Customer-Supplier, Anti-Corruption Layer, etc.).
  3. Design Aggregates.

    • Start from one business command and state the invariants it must preserve.
    • Include only state that must commit or reject atomically.
    • Each Aggregate has one root Entity that controls access.
    • Reference other Aggregates by identity and make eventual consistency explicit.
    • Check lifecycle, cardinality, contention, and concurrency; table count does not define the boundary.
  4. Model with tactical patterns.

    • Entity: has identity that persists over time.
    • Value Object: defined by its attributes; value equality; immutable by default; no identity.
    • Domain Service: stateless logic that doesn't belong to any single Entity.
    • Domain Event: records that something significant happened.
    • Repository: collection-like access to Aggregates.
    • Factory: encapsulates complex construction.

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.

ddd-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository OKHP3/skillz (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 2,066 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
