Use when the family is already settled as hexagonal and the question is where a module belongs or whether an import may cross a boundary — the four layers, inward-only dependencies, ports, adapters, the composition root. Not whether hexagonal is the right family at all (`architecture-choice`), not where a boundary goes in the first place (`coupling`). - Which layer does this class go in; may infrastructure import application; a cycle between layers; where the DI container or composition root…

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

# Hexagonal Architecture — the layer contract

Which layer a thing belongs to, and what it is allowed to reach. This skill owns boundaries only: the
mechanics of packaging a module and spelling an import are `python-packaging`, and they are the same here
as in any other project. What goes *inside* a module belongs to whichever skill owns that artifact.

## When to use vs. neighbours

- Whether this style is the right one at all, or the service belongs in the flat-layered family →
  `architecture-choice`, which owns the hex-vs-flat decision in full and is universal, so it is
  available whichever family plugins are installed.
- The family is settled the other way — a worker, crawler, pipeline or integration service grouped by
  technical role, with no ports until a second real implementation → `flat-layered`, in the
  `pyhouse-flat` plugin. Nothing in this skill applies there.
- Where a boundary goes at all — split vs merge, whether an integration needs a contract, how much
  structure a component deserves → `coupling`, loaded alongside this skill; it owns the boundary
  reasoning, this skill owns the layer layout.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/hex-architecture@sha256:a2d092532c19ebe6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.20fc6e0, 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.
