## Description

Maps business domains and suggests service boundaries in any codebase using DDD Strategic Design. Use when asking "what are the domains in this codebase?", "where should I draw service boundaries?", "identify bounded contexts", "classify subdomains", "DDD analysis", or analyzing domain cohesion. Do NOT use for grouping existing components into domains (use domain-identification-grouping) or dependency analysis (use coupling-analysis).

# Subdomain Identification & Bounded Context Analysis

This skill analyzes codebases to identify subdomains (Core, Supporting, Generic) and suggest bounded contexts following Domain-Driven Design Strategic Design principles.

## When to Use

Apply this skill when:

- Analyzing domain boundaries in any codebase
- Identifying Core, Supporting, and Generic subdomains
- Mapping bounded contexts from problem space to solution space
- Assessing domain cohesion and detecting coupling issues
- Planning domain-driven refactoring
- Understanding business capabilities in code

## Core Principles

### Subdomain Classification

**Core Domain**: Competitive advantage, highest business value, requires best developers

- Indicators: Complex business logic, frequent changes, domain experts needed

**Supporting Subdomain**: Essential but not differentiating, business-specific

- Indicators: Supports Core Domain, moderate complexity, business-specific rules

**Generic Subdomain**: Common functionality, could be outsourced

- Indicators: Well-understood problem, low differentiation, standard functionality

### Bounded Context

An explicit linguistic boundary where domain terms have specific, unambiguous meanings.

- Primary nature: Linguistic boundary, not technical
- Key rule: Inside boundary, all Ubiquitous Language terms are unambiguous
- Goal: Align 1 subdomain to 1 bounded context (ideal)

## Analysis Process

### Phase 1: Extract Concepts

Scan codebase for business concepts (not infrastructure):

1. **Entities** (domain models with identity)
   - Patterns: `@Entity`, `class`, domain models
   - Focus: Business concepts, not technical classes

2. **Services** (business operations)
   - Patterns: `*Service`, `*Manager`, `*Handler`
   - Focus: Business logic, not technical utilities

3. **Use Cases** (business workflows)
   - Patterns: `*UseCase`, `*Command`, `*Handler`
   - Focus: Business processes, not CRUD
