clean-architecture from pantheon-org/tekhne is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/clean-architecture@git:20260923.7852cb4

Pins git:20260923.7852cb4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apply Clean Architecture principles to define layer boundaries, identify dependency violations, and structure domain vs infrastructure code. Use when designing service boundaries, separating business logic from infrastructure, evaluating hexagonal/onion/ports-and-adapters architecture, structuring module layout, or resolving dependency inversion and circular dependency issues.

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

# Clean Architecture

Strategic architecture principles for boundaries, dependencies, and layered system design.

## When to Use

- Designing service boundaries or module structure
- Evaluating dependency direction and circular dependencies
- Structuring new applications or refactoring monoliths
- Assessing where to place entities, use cases, adapters, and frameworks
- Deciding when to introduce architectural boundaries

## When Not to Use

- Class-level design decisions (use solid-principles)
- Choosing structural patterns like Factory or Adapter (use design-patterns)
- Testing strategy configuration (use testable-design)

## Architecture Layers

**Dependency Rule:** Dependencies point inward only. Inner layers know nothing about outer layers.

Layers (inner → outer): **Entities** → **Use Cases** → **Interface Adapters** → **Frameworks & Drivers**

See [references/dep-inward-only.md](references/dep-inward-only.md) for layer definitions and examples.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Identify Decision Type

**Output:** Classify as entity, use case, adapter, or framework decision.

Ask:

- Does this logic belong to core business rules? → Entity

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/clean-architecture@sha256:6d63b90c689cb452

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.7852cb4, 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.
