domain-modeling

A way to define and maintain the project’s shared vocabulary: the important terms, concepts, and distinctions used in its code and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the project’s model, settling terminology, recording a domain decision, or updating the central glossary.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when people use vague, conflicting, or newly invented names for the same part of the system.

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

domain-modeling 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 2d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Domain Modeling

Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. Reading docs/glossary.md for vocabulary is a one-line habit any skill can do — this skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.

│   ├── glossary.md          ← canonical ubiquitous language (single)

Create files lazily — only when you have something to write.

During the session (inline)

Challenge against the glossary

When the user uses a term that conflicts with docs/glossary.md, call it out immediately.

Sharpen fuzzy language

When the user uses vague or overloaded terms (e.g. "query" for both a cataloged recipe and ad-hoc SQL, or "file" for both a FileRow TS shape and the files SQLite table), propose a precise canonical term.

Discuss concrete scenarios

Stress-test domain relationships with specific edge-case scenarios (homonym symbols across files, recipe vs ad-hoc query drift, hub vs barrel ranking, fan-in vs fan-out impact direction).

Cross-reference with code

When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees (src/db.ts, src/parser.ts, recipe loader, adapter layer). Surface contradictions — use codemap query for structural facts before Read/Grep.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

domain-modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository stainless-code/codemap (8 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 848 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 2026-08-31.
