This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 9 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
domain-modeling from kunolu/640-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a GLOSSARY.md, or recording or editing an ADR.
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 Modeling
Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the *active* discipline: challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing the glossary and decisions down the moment they crystallise. (Merely *reading* `GLOSSARY.md` for vocabulary is not this skill: that's a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.)
## File structure
Most repos have a single context:
```
/
├── GLOSSARY.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/
│ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/
```
If a `GLOSSARY-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
```
/
├── GLOSSARY-MAP.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
├── src/
│ ├── ordering/
│ │ ├── GLOSSARY.md
│ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
│ └── billing/
│ ├── GLOSSARY.md
│ └── docs/adr/
```
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.4eb8b2a, 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.
