Use when asking where does this file go or what is this class called — the registry deriving a path and class name from a bare identifier, plus the two store profiles with their connection-factory names and `<subdomain>:<Name>` cross-context resolution. Produces no file of its own. What a thing is *called* in general is `naming`; layer boundaries are `hex-architecture`.

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 Conventions — the derivation registry

This is the **derivation layer**: the rules that turn the bare identifiers a change introduces — an
entity name, a protocol name, a command base-name, a datastore kind — into concrete file paths, class
names and package placement. Other skills own what goes *inside* an artifact; this one owns the mapping
between a name and its place in the tree. It produces **no file of its own**.

All paths below are relative to the target package root `src/myapp/`. Worked names use a deliberately
neutral vocabulary — subdomains `foos` and `bars`, entities `Foo` and `Bar` — so nothing here reads as
belonging to one product. Technology tokens (`postgres`, `redis`, `s3`, `jwt`) stay concrete, because the
whole point of the infrastructure rule is that the folder is named after the real technology.

## When to use vs. neighbours

- Turning a bare identifier into a file path or class name → this skill.
- Deciding which repository form a datastore gets, or writing its connection factory → block B.
- Resolving a `<subdomain>:<Name>` reference, or deciding what is shared across contexts → block C.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/hex-conventions@sha256:de50bdf29c8c387b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.7343419, 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.
