Domain Modeling
Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the active discipline: challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing decisions down the moment they crystallise. Merely reading existing docs for vocabulary is not this skill; that is a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you are changing the model, not just consuming it.
Where the model lives
This repo does not prescribe a CONTEXT.md or docs/adr/ layout. Record terms and decisions wherever the project already keeps them: an existing glossary or domain doc, a README section, the notes vault, or a short comment next to the code. If nothing exists yet, only create a home for it when there is something durable to write and the user wants it kept. Do not stand up a glossary or decision-record convention the project has not asked for.
Keep a glossary free of implementation detail: it is a shared language, not a spec or a scratch pad. Keep a decision record focused on the decision and its trade-off, not the mechanics.
During the session
Challenge against the shared language
When the user uses a term that conflicts with the language already in use, call it out immediately. "You've been using 'cancellation' to mean X, but here you seem to mean Y. Which is it?"
Sharpen fuzzy language
When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' - do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
