Detects anemic domain models, validates and refactors them into rich domain models, and enforces tactical DDD patterns (Entities, Value Objects, Aggregates, Domain Services, Domain Events). Use when the user asks to validate, review, or check domain models or DDD code; detect anemia; refactor domain objects; improve encapsulation; or mentions terms like "anemic model", "rich domain", "aggregate", "value object", "domain event", "ubiquitous language", "is this good DDD", "does this follow DDD", or "check my domain". Do NOT use for module or service boundary design, architectural decomposition, strategic DDD context mapping, or code outside the domain layer (DTOs, controllers, infrastructure adapters).

Tactical DDD — Rich Domain Modeling
Workflow
Determine the user's intent first:
| Intent | Phases to run | |--------|--------------| | "validate / review / check / is this correct?" | Phase 1 + 2 only → report findings, ask before refactoring | | "fix / refactor / improve / clean up" | Phase 1 + 2 + 3 | | "how should I design / model this?" | Load reference.md directly |
Phase 1 — Detect
Load detection.md and scan the target code for anemia signals. Produce a severity score and list of affected classes.
Phase 2 — Assess
For each affected class, determine the correct building block:
| Has unique identity tracked over time? | Has invariants tying multiple objects? | → Building Block | |----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|-----------------| | Yes | — | Entity | | No | — | Value Object | | Yes (root) + children with shared invariants | Yes | Aggregate | | Operation spans multiple Aggregates/doesn't belong to any | — | Domain Service |
Prefer Value Objects over Entities. Prefer small Aggregates over large ones.
If intent was validate/review: stop here. Report findings using the output format below. Ask "Would you like me to apply these fixes?" before proceeding.
Phase 3 — Refactor
Load refactoring.md for step-by-step moves. Apply in this order:
- Replace setter chains with a single expressive method
- Move service logic into the Aggregate that owns it
- Add business guards at the top of each method
- Publish a Domain Event after each successful state change
- Replace primitive types with Value Objects
For deep pattern questions (boundary design, event modeling, service vs. entity decision), load reference.md.
Quick Anemia Signals (scan first)
public setX() / public setY() → behaviour should be encapsulated
service.doX(entity, ...) → logic likely belongs in entity
entity.setA(); entity.setB(); ... → setter chain = missing intent method
no domain methods beyond getters → pure data bag
Golden Rules
- Behaviour with data — Objects own both state and the operations that change it
- Ubiquitous Language — Method names come from the domain, not CRUD (
commitTo, notsetStatus) - Small Aggregates — Root + Value Objects by default; add child Entities only for true invariants
- One transaction = one Aggregate — Cross-Aggregate rules use eventual consistency via Domain Events
- Reference by ID — Never hold object references to other Aggregates
- Value Objects first — Use Entities only when individual identity is essential
- Domain Services sparingly — Excessive services → anemic model
- Protect invariants — The Aggregate is the last line of defence; never trust the caller
Output Format
When reviewing code, report:
## Anemia Diagnosis: <ClassName>
Severity: [None | Mild | Moderate | Severe]
Issues:
- <description of problem>
Recommended refactoring:
- <specific move from refactoring.md>
When refactoring, show a before/after diff for each class touched.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Reviews a GitHub pull request and posts inline comments plus one consolidated summary, adapting to any codebase by discovering the project's own test runner, requirement specs, and architecture conventions before running six specialized review agents in parallel. Stack-agnostic across language and framework; targets GitHub PRs via the gh CLI. Use when the user says "review PR 128", "review this PR", "code review this PR", or "check this pull request". Do NOT use for creating PRs or responding to review comments (use gh-address-comments), or debugging failing CI checks (use gh-fix-ci).

Opinionated Rails conventions: rich models, concerns, CRUD-everything, state-as-records, minimal dependencies, Minitest with fixtures. Load this skill BEFORE any code-level thinking, not only before editing a file. It is required the moment a task touches Rails code in ANY way: designing or even just discussing a data model, schema, migration, entity, association, field, validation, class, or method name; writing, planning, reviewing, analyzing, testing, debugging, or refactoring; or proposing any model, table, column, route, or code snippet inline in chat. If you are about to name a model or sketch a column you are already in scope, even in an exploratory back-and-forth where no file is written yet. Do not let a "we're just discussing" framing defer it. Do NOT use for non-Rails backends, NestJS, or general architecture (use nestjs-modular-monolith or coding-guidelines).

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Feature planning and implementation with 4 adaptive phases — Specify, Design, Tasks, Execute. Auto-sizes depth by complexity. Creates atomic tasks with verification criteria, atomic git commits, and requirement traceability. Features an independent Verifier (author != verifier, evidence-or-zero), persistent decision log (STATE.md), and test-coverage-matrix-driven tests, plus a self-improving lessons layer that turns verification failures into reusable project-local guidance. Stack-agnostic. Use when (1) Planning features (requirements, design, task breakdown), (2) Implementing with verification and atomic commits, (3) Validating or verifying an implementation against a spec. Triggers on "specify feature", "discuss feature", "design", "tasks", "implement", "validate", "verify work", "UAT", "record decision", "pause work", "resume work". Do NOT use for architecture decomposition analysis (use architecture skills) or technical design docs (use create-technical-design-doc).
