ddd

Domain-Driven Development Plugin

Code quality framework that embeds Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, and Domain-Driven Design patterns into your development workflow through persistent memory updates and contextual skills.

Focused on:

• Clean Architecture - Separation of concerns with layered architecture boundaries
• Domain-Driven Design - Ubiquitous language and bounded contexts for complex domains
• SOLID Principles - Single responsibility, open-closed, and dependency inversion patterns
• Code Quality Standards - Consistent formatting, naming conventions, and anti-pattern avoidance

Overview

The DDD plugin implements battle-tested software architecture principles that have proven essential for building maintainable, scalable systems. It provides commands to configure AI-assisted development with established best practices, and skills that guide code generation toward high-quality patterns.

The plugin is based on foundational works including Eric Evans' "Domain-Driven Design" (2003), Robert C. Martin's "Clean Architecture" (2017), and the SOLID principles that have become industry standards for object-oriented design.

These principles address the core challenge of software development: managing complexity. By establishing clear boundaries between business logic and infrastructure, using domain-specific naming, and following proven design patterns, teams can build systems that remain understandable and modifiable as they grow.

Quick Start

# Install the plugin
/plugin install ddd@NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit

# Set up code formatting standards in CLAUDE.md
/ddd:setup-code-formating

# The software-architecture skill activates automatically when writing code
# alternatively, you can ask Claude to use DDD directly
> claude "Use DDD skill to implement user authentication"

[Usage Examples](./usage-examples.md)

setup-code-formating command

Establishes consistent code formatting rules and style guidelines by updating your project's CLAUDE.md file with enforced standards.

See [setup-code-formating.md](./setup-code-formating.md) for detailed command documentation.

software-architecture skill

The software-architecture skill provides comprehensive guidance for writing high-quality, maintainable code. It activates automatically when users engage in code writing, architecture design, or code analysis tasks.

See [software-architecture.md](./software-architecture.md) for detailed skill documentation.

Foundation

The DDD plugin is based on foundational software engineering literature that has shaped modern development practices:

Core Literature

• Domain-Driven Design (Eric Evans, 2003) - Introduced ubiquitous language, bounded contexts, and strategic design patterns for managing complex domains
• Clean Architecture (Robert C. Martin, 2012/2017) - Defines dependency rules and layer boundaries for maintainable systems
• SOLID Principles (Robert C. Martin, 2000s) - Five principles of object-oriented design that promote maintainability

Key Concepts Applied

| Concept | Source | Application in Plugin | |---------|--------|----------------------| | Ubiquitous Language | Evans (DDD) | Domain-specific naming conventions | | Bounded Contexts | Evans (DDD) | Module and file organization | | Dependency Inversion | Martin (SOLID) | Layer separation rules | | Single Responsibility | Martin (SOLID) | Function and file size limits | | Separation of Concerns | General | Business logic isolation |
