Domain Identification Grouping

by christophacham

×1

Groups existing components into logical business domains to plan service-based architecture. Use when asking "which components belong together?", "group these into services", "organize by domain", "component-to-domain mapping", or planning service extraction from an existing codebase. Do NOT use for identifying new domains from scratch (use domain-analysis) or analyzing coupling (use coupling-analysis).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take github/github agentic workflows from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
