Domain-Driven Design guidance for modeling complex domains. Use when designing Bounded Contexts or Subdomains, discovering Aggregate boundaries from invariants and transactions, defining Aggregate Roots, designing Domain Events, typed domain failures, or repository contracts, choosing exception vs Result/Either/Option semantics, choosing Repository vs DAO/query service/gateway, splitting oversized Aggregates, coordinating cross-Aggregate consistency, applying Context Mapping patterns…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add okhp3/skillz/ddd-best-practices@sha256:e59838a5d904cc70

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
