What it does

Domain Modeling is an agent skill from stevesolun/ctx. Clarify domain concepts, language, boundaries, and durable architectural decisions. Use when terminology is ambiguous, the user is shaping a domain model, or a design depends on resolving what concepts mean.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `ADR-FORMAT.md`, `CONTEXT-FORMAT.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Domain-driven design. The repository describes itself as: CTX Fit finds the cheapest AI coding setup that reliably works on your repository, then applies the winner as a reviewable change. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Terminology is ambiguous
  • The user is shaping a domain model
  • A design depends on resolving what concepts mean

Example prompts

  • “/domain-modeling”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11b582a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Domain Modeling loads about 429 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~429

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Clarify domain concepts, language, boundaries, and durable architectural decisions. Use when terminology is ambiguous, the user is shaping a domain model, or a design depends on resolving what concepts mean.

Model the domain

Build a precise shared understanding of the concepts that matter to the current decision. Read existing glossaries, context maps, ADRs, code, and tests when they provide relevant evidence.

Sharpen the model

  • Identify overloaded terms, hidden distinctions, and conflicting definitions.
  • Use concrete scenarios and edge cases to test whether concepts and boundaries hold.
  • Compare the stated model with behavior in the code and surface material contradictions.
  • Propose clear language when ambiguity is blocking progress, while respecting established repository terminology that remains accurate.

Ask the user to resolve a term only when their intent cannot be inferred safely and the distinction affects the outcome.

Record durable knowledge proportionally

Update a glossary or context map when the user requests it or when a resolved term is durable, project-specific, and useful beyond the current conversation. Follow an existing repository format first; otherwise use the context format as a lightweight starting point.

Record an ADR only when a decision is costly to reverse, surprising without its context, and based on a meaningful tradeoff. Follow existing ADR conventions or use the ADR format. Do not create artifacts merely to complete the workflow.

Keep domain definitions separate from implementation plans. Report unresolved ambiguity and artifact changes explicitly.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill domain-modeling -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/domain-modeling, .gemini/skills/domain-modeling, .github/skills/domain-modeling and .opencode/skills/domain-modeling in your project.

What does Domain Modeling need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Domain Modeling is instructions for the agent only.

Does Domain Modeling access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Domain Modeling safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Domain Modeling use?

Domain Modeling is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Domain Modeling use?

About 429 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
