Turn a described business process into a domain model.

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 model

The user describes how their business actually works. You come back with the concepts hiding in that description — and every one of them traces to something they said. An invented model is worse than none: it's fluent, confident, wrong, and in six months it's in the code under a name nobody in the business recognizes.

Five things come out, and nothing else:

|                |                                                                  |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Language**   | The words the business uses, meaning what the business means.    |
| **Flow**       | The events, in order. Past tense — something became true.        |
| **Rules**      | Whenever X happens, we do Y. The branches and the exceptions.    |
| **Aggregates** | Whatever protects a rule and emits those events.                 |
| **Contexts**   | Where a word stops meaning one thing and starts meaning another. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thoughtbot/rails-consultant/domain-model@sha256:566a11a124c3cdb3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.ce8ab68, 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.
