Audit a codebase or design with Domain-Driven Design strategic concepts from Eric Evans (2003): bounded contexts, context maps, and ubiquitous language. Use when asked to find or check module/service boundaries, "what are our bounded contexts", "draw a context map", "why does Customer mean three things", when the same term means different things in different parts of the code, when teams or services step on each other's models, or when extracting a glossary from code and docs. Use it even if…

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 Strategic Audit

Strategic DDD asks where one consistent model ends and another begins, and how the models relate. This skill finds those edges in an existing codebase and reports them. It extends `domain-modeling`: this skill **discovers and diagnoses**, `domain-modeling` **records** the outcome in `GLOSSARY.md` / `GLOSSARY-MAP.md` and ADRs.

## Core ideas

- **Bounded context**: a boundary inside which each term has exactly one meaning and the model is internally consistent. It bounds both the model and the language.
- **Ubiquitous language**: the vocabulary shared by domain experts and code within one context. The same words appear in conversation, tests, and identifiers.
- **Context map**: how contexts relate and who must adapt to whom. Common relationships: shared kernel, customer/supplier, conformist, anti-corruption layer (ACL), open host service / published language, separate ways.

## Step 1: Extract the language

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/ddd-strategic-audit@sha256:f396b63891ab22ed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.84f93e5, 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.
