ddd-guide

ddd-guide is a skill for Claude Code from xonovex/platform. It costs 114 tokens per session (856 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Domain-Driven Design, a method for modelling software around the rules and language of a business area. It explains boundaries, shared terms, entities, value objects, aggregates, events, and repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify domain boundaries, name concepts, separate models owned by different teams or systems, and design business objects and repositories. It also covers translating between external models and your own.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one vague model from mixing unrelated business concepts. Clear boundaries and carefully defined rules make it easier to keep each part of a system consistent.

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-guide 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 1mo 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Domain-Driven Design

Find the boundaries in a domain, name everything inside them rigorously, and model each boundary with building blocks that keep business invariants honest. Strategic design draws the map; tactical design fills it in.

Essentials

Gotchas

  • A bounded context is not a microservice or a subdomain: it is a solution-space model boundary; a subdomain is a problem-space area; a service is a deployment unit. They often align but are not the same thing.
  • Ubiquitous language is not "a glossary". It only counts when the agreed terms live in the model AND the code; a wiki nobody compiles against is not a ubiquitous language.
  • A thin ORM/DAO wrapper is not a repository, and an upstream-API client is not an anti-corruption layer: a repository hands out whole aggregate roots and is persistence-ignorant; an ACL translates foreign concepts both directions, not just forwards calls.
  • Code-level coupling metrics belong to connascence-guide, class/inheritance mechanics to oop-guide, and undo/serialization machinery to data-model-guide: DDD names the domain boundaries, not those.

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.
