Subdomain Identification & Bounded Context Analysis workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Maps business domains and suggests service boundaries in any codebase using DDD Strategic Design. Use when asking "what are the domains in this codebase?", "where should I draw service boundaries?", "identify bounded contexts", "classify subdomains", "DDD analysis", or analyzing domain cohesion. Do NOT use for grouping existing components into domains (use domain-identification-grouping) or dependency analysis (use coupling-analysis) and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

This public intake copy packages packages/skills-catalog/skills/(architecture)/domain-analysis from https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Subdomain Identification & Bounded Context Analysis This skill analyzes codebases to identify subdomains (Core, Supporting, Generic) and suggest bounded contexts following Domain-Driven Design Strategic Design principles.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Output Format, Domain: {Name}, Cross-Domain Cohesion, Issues Detected, Suggested Bounded Contexts, Analysis Checklist.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

Why it matters
First-time use
metadata.json
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review
ORIGIN.md
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution
EXAMPLES.md
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context
QUICK-REFERENCE.md
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Entities (domain models with identity)
Patterns: @Entity, class, domain models
Focus: Business concepts, not technical classes
Services (business operations)
Patterns: Service, Manager, *Handler
Focus: Business logic, not technical utilities
Use Cases (business workflows)
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Analysis Process
Phase 1: Extract Concepts
Scan codebase for business concepts (not infrastructure):
Entities (domain models with identity)
Patterns: @Entity, class, domain models
Focus: Business concepts, not technical classes
Services (business operations)
Patterns: *Service, *Manager, *Handler
Focus: Business logic, not technical utilities
Use Cases (business workflows)
Patterns: *UseCase, *Command, *Handler
Focus: Business processes, not CRUD
Controllers/Resolvers (entry points)
Patterns: *Controller, *Resolver, API endpoints
Focus: Business capabilities, not technical routes
Phase 2: Group by Ubiquitous Language
For each concept, determine:
Primary Language Context
What business vocabulary does this belong to?
Examples:
Subscription, Invoice, Payment → Billing language
Movie, Video, Episode → Content language
User, Authentication → Identity language
Linguistic Boundaries
Where do term meanings change?
Same term, different meaning = different bounded context
Example: "Customer" in Sales vs "Customer" in Support
For each subdomain identified, suggest bounded context:
Bounded Context Characteristics:
Name reflects Ubiquitous Language
Contains complete domain model
Has explicit integration points
Clear linguistic boundary
Integration Patterns:
Shared Kernel: Shared model between contexts (use sparingly)
Customer/Supplier: Downstream depends on upstream
Conformist: Downstream conforms to upstream
Anti-corruption Layer: Translation layer between contexts
Open Host Service: Published interface for integration
Published Language: Well-documented integration protocol
Imported: Output Format
Domain Map
For each domain/subdomain:
## Examples### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly```text
Use @domain-analysis to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @domain-analysis against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @domain-analysis for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @domain-analysis using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Indicators: Complex business logic, frequent changes, domain experts needed
Generic Subdomain: Common functionality, could be outsourced
Indicators: Well-understood problem, low differentiation, standard functionality
Bounded Context
An explicit linguistic boundary where domain terms have specific, unambiguous meanings.
Primary nature: Linguistic boundary, not technical
Key rule: Inside boundary, all Ubiquitous Language terms are unambiguous
Goal: Align 1 subdomain to 1 bounded context (ideal)
Imported: Best Practices
Do's ✅
Focus on business language, not code structure
Let Ubiquitous Language guide boundaries
Measure cohesion objectively
Identify clear integration points
Classify every subdomain (Core/Supporting/Generic)
Look for linguistic boundaries first
Don'ts ❌
Don't group by technical layers
Don't force single global model
Don't ignore linguistic differences
Don't couple domains directly
Don't create contexts by architecture
Don't eliminate all dependencies (some are necessary)
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in packages/skills-catalog/skills/(architecture)/domain-analysis, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Analyze business capability
└─ Is it competitive advantage?
├─ YES → Core Domain
└─ NO → Is it business-specific?
├─ YES → Supporting Subdomain
└─ NO → Generic Subdomain
Cohesion Quick Check
Same vocabulary? → High linguistic cohesion
Used together? → High usage cohesion
Direct relationships? → High data cohesion
Change together? → High change cohesion
All high → Strong subdomain candidate
Mix of high/low → Review boundaries
All low → Likely wrong grouping
Bounded Context Signals
Clear boundary signs:
✅ Distinct Ubiquitous Language
✅ Concepts have unambiguous meaning
✅ Different meanings across contexts
✅ Clear integration points
Unclear boundary signs:
❌ Same terms with same meanings everywhere
❌ Concepts used identically across system
❌ No clear linguistic differences
❌ Tight coupling everywhere
