domain-modelinglisted

Use when pinning down a project's domain terminology — building or sharpening a CONTEXT.md ubiquitous-language glossary, resolving vague or conflicting terms, or when another skill needs the domain model maintained. Triggers on "ubiquitous language", "domain glossary", "what should we call this", "add this to CONTEXT.md", or a term that conflicts with the existing glossary. Not for recording decisions (that's [[adr]] — this skill hands off to it).

# Domain Modeling Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the *active* discipline — challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing the glossary down the moment a term crystallises. (Merely *reading* `CONTEXT.md` for vocabulary is not this skill — that's a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.) The payoff compounds: a shared language makes variables, functions, and files consistently named, the codebase easier to navigate, and every future session terser — one precise term where twenty vague words used to go. ## File structure Most repos have a single context: ``` / ├── CONTEXT.md ├── docs/ │ └── decisions/ │ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md │ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md └── src/ ``` If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives: ``` / ├── CONTEXT-MAP.md ├── docs/ │ └── decisions/ ← system-wide decisions ├── src/ │ ├── ordering/ │ │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ │ └── docs/decisions/ ← context-specific decisions │ └── billing/ │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ └── docs/decisions/ ``` Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. ## During the session ### Challenge against the glossary When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing langua
