Modularity

by vladikk · vladikk/modularity

Translates functional requirements into module boundaries using DDD heuristics — bounded contexts, aggregates, integration patterns.

Vladik Khononov's plugin operationalizes the heuristics from his book on bounded contexts. Feed it requirements; it proposes contexts, aggregates, and integration relationships, with rationale.

When to use: You're sketching a new system and want to avoid a distributed monolith.

Flow
  1. Brief
    Provide functional requirements + non-functional priorities.✓ Copied
    → Skill asks clarifying questions
  2. Receive design
    Module map with contexts + aggregates + integration patterns.✓ Copied
    → Diagrams + rationale
  3. Iterate
    Push back on weak boundaries; refine.✓ Copied
    → Approved decomposition

Outcome: Defensible module boundaries before code is written.
