When should I trigger the Cross-Context skill?

It should be triggered whenever a requirement involves multiple domains, such as integrating permissions, payments, or external notification services into your core logic.

Does this skill help with service resilience?

Yes, it provides structured patterns for implementing fault tolerance, including circuit breakers, retry logic, and 'deny-by-default' fallback strategies.

What is an Anti-Corruption Layer (ACL)?

An ACL is a design pattern that translates between two different domain models, preventing an external system's model from 'corrupting' your internal business logic.

What languages are supported in the examples?

The skill provides detailed implementation patterns and code examples for both TypeScript and Go.

What is the primary goal of the Cross-Context skill?

The primary goal is to handle dependencies between different Bounded Contexts in a system, ensuring that changes in one context don't negatively impact another.

API Development

Manages dependencies between Bounded Contexts using Anti-Corruption Layers and strategic Context Mapping patterns.

The Cross-Context skill is a sophisticated tool for developers practicing Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to maintain clean architectural boundaries. It identifies dependencies across different domain contexts—such as authorization, payments, or notifications—and guides the implementation of Anti-Corruption Layers (ACL). By defining clear interface contracts and model translation logic, it prevents external domain models from polluting core business logic while providing robust templates for resilience patterns like circuit breakers and automated fallbacks.
