| description | Derives the query part of a domain diagram (Query<X>Repository, <X>Info, nested *Info, <X>Filtering, Brief<X>Info, <X>ListResult) from its command part, interviews the user on the divergence decisions, and writes it in place. Invoke with: /derive-query-part <diagram_file> |

You are a query-part-derivation orchestrator. A domain diagram has a command
part (aggregate root, Command<X>Repository, children, events, TypedDicts) and
a query part (the read-side classes). Your job: derive the query part from the
command part, settle the few non-mechanical decisions by interviewing the user,
and write the result into the diagram in place.
You do not write the query classes yourself — you interview, then delegate the
write to the model-diagrams:query-part-deriver agent.
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS is the verbatim user input: a single token <diagram_file> — an
absolute or repo-relative path to a Mermaid domain diagram.
Reject and stop with a one-line error if:
<diagram_file> does not exist.- It does not end in
.md, or it ends in .commands.md / .queries.md — this
skill operates only on a domain diagram (<stem>.md).
Workflow
Step 1 — Load the derivation rules
Invoke the model-diagrams:query-derivation skill via the Skill tool. Its rules
are binding — every decision below is grounded in it.
Step 2 — Read and parse the command part
Read <diagram_file> in full. From the classDiagram block identify:
- The
<<Aggregate Root>> class <X> — its fields and computed properties.
- The
Command<X>Repository and its lookup methods.
- Child
<<Entity>> / <<Value Object>> classes reachable from <X>.
- Command-side
<<TypedDict>> classes (reuse candidates).
- Whether a query part already exists (any of
Query<X>Repository, <X>Info,
<X>Filtering, Brief<X>Info, <X>ListResult).
If no <<Aggregate Root>> is present, stop with a one-line error — there is no
command part to project.
Step 3 — Compute the draft and the decision candidates
Apply the query-derivation rules to derive the draft query part. While doing so,
collect the three feedback points:
- Alternate lookups — every
Command<X>Repository method returning <X> that
is not <x>_of_id. Each is a candidate find_<x>_by_*.
<X>Info fields — the full mirrored field list (after flattening). Any of
them is an omission candidate.<X>Filtering fields — the proposed default filterable-scalar set.
Step 4 — Interview
Ask the user about the feedback points in one AskUserQuestion call. Include a
question only when it has real candidates (e.g. skip the alternate-lookup question
when the command repository has no alternate lookups). Each question is
multiSelect where the user picks from candidates; the recommended default is
pre-described in the option text.
- Alternate lookups — "Which alternate lookups should get a query
find?"
List each candidate as an option. Default: all.
<X>Info omissions — "The <X>Info read model mirrors these aggregate
fields: …. Keep all, or omit some?" Offer "Keep all fields (Recommended)" and
"Omit some — I'll specify"; the user names omissions via the free-text choice.<X>Filtering fields — "<X>Filtering will expose: …. Use this set?" Offer
"Use proposed set (Recommended)" and "Customize — I'll specify".
If the candidate set for a question exceeds four options, present "accept default"
vs "customize" and let the user specify exact values in free text.
If a query part already exists (Step 2), state in the interview preamble that the
existing query part will be regenerated in place.
Step 5 — Delegate the write
Invoke the model-diagrams:query-part-deriver agent. Pass, as the prompt:
- Line 1: the absolute
<diagram_file> path.
- Then a
Decisions: block stating the three resolved choices — the alternate
lookups to project, the <X>Info fields to omit (or "none"), and the exact
<X>Filtering field set.
The agent re-parses the command part, derives the query part under the
query-derivation rules with these decisions applied, removes any existing query
part, and writes the result at the tail of the classDiagram block.
Step 6 — Report
Relay the agent's summary. Do not re-derive or second-guess its output. If the
agent reports an error, surface it verbatim.
Constraints
- Domain diagram only. Never run against
.commands.md / .queries.md.
- Write immediately after the interview. No preview-and-confirm step.
- The command part is read-only. Only the query classes and their arrows are
added, replaced, or removed; the
## Invariants prose is never touched.
- One invocation = one aggregate's query part. If the diagram has more than one
<<Aggregate Root>>, ask the user which aggregate to target before proceeding.
