DDD & Clean Architecture FAQs

Question 1

What specific architectural patterns does it support?

Accepted Answer

The skill supports strategic modeling (Ubiquitous Language, Bounded Contexts) and tactical patterns including Aggregates, Entities, Value Objects, and Domain Events. It also implements the Result pattern for error handling, the Repository pattern for persistence, and CQRS-style separation of concerns.

Question 2

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It automates the creation of architectural boilerplate and enforces consistency across layers (Domain, Application, Infrastructure, Presentation). By providing Claude with these patterns, you reduce architectural drift and ensure that complex business rules are correctly encapsulated in the domain layer.

Question 3

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill when building complex backend services that require a rich domain model or when refactoring anemic 'CRUD' style applications into more robust systems. It is ideal for enterprise-level APIs where long-term maintainability and clear boundaries are critical.

Question 4

Does it integrate with modern .NET libraries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is designed to work seamlessly with the latest ASP.NET Core standards, including Entity Framework Core for persistence, FluentValidation for input logic, and ErrorOr for functional-style outcome handling.

Question 5

What does the DDD & Clean Architecture skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to implement Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Clean Architecture specifically for ASP.NET Core Web APIs. It ensures business logic is isolated from infrastructure and that the code follows a highly maintainable, layered structure.
