Use when evolving aggregate invariants, value objects or domain events in an existing DDD-style Spring Boot 3 application, or when DDD is explicitly requested. Preserve existing API identifiers and architecture when changing domain behavior.
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
# Domain-Driven Design
## Aggregate Rules
- One repository per aggregate root
- External code only accesses aggregate through root — never child entities directly
- Prefer references by ID across aggregate boundaries; preserve deliberate mappings.
- Choose boundaries from invariants that must commit atomically and expected contention,
not a fixed number of child entities. Splitting requires an explicit consistency plan.
The snippets are illustrative and require the application's domain types and imports.
Keep existing public identifiers and persistence mappings unless the task includes a migration.
```java
// ✅ Aggregate root controls all access to children
order.addItem(productId, quantity); // through root
order.removeItem(itemId); // through root
// ❌ Direct child access from outside
order.getItems().add(new OrderItem(...)); // bypasses invariants
```
## Value Objects
Immutable, no identity, equality by value:
```java
public record Money(BigDecimal amount, Currency currency) {
public Money {
if (amount.compareTo(BigDecimal.ZERO) < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Amount cannot be negative");
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.09d9b78, 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.
