V3 DDD Architecture

What This Skill Does

Designs and implements Domain-Driven Design (DDD) architecture for claude-flow v3, decomposing god objects into bounded contexts, implementing clean architecture patterns, and enabling modular, testable code structure.

Quick Start

# Initialize DDD architecture analysis
Task("Architecture analysis", "Analyze current architecture and design DDD boundaries", "core-architect")

# Domain modeling (parallel)
Task("Domain decomposition", "Break down orchestrator god object into domains", "core-architect")
Task("Context mapping", "Map bounded contexts and relationships", "core-architect")
Task("Interface design", "Design clean domain interfaces", "core-architect")

Domain Boundaries

1. Task Management Domain

// core/domains/task-management/
interface TaskManagementDomain {
  // Entities
  Task: TaskEntity;
  TaskQueue: TaskQueueEntity;

  // Value Objects
  TaskId: TaskIdVO;
  TaskStatus: TaskStatusVO;
  Priority: PriorityVO;

  // Services
  TaskScheduler: TaskSchedulingService;
  TaskValidator: TaskValidationService;

  // Repository
  TaskRepository: ITaskRepository;
}

2. Session Management Domain

// core/domains/session-management/
interface SessionManagementDomain {
  // Entities
  Session: SessionEntity;
  SessionState: SessionStateEntity;

  // Value Objects
  SessionId: SessionIdVO;
  SessionStatus: SessionStatusVO;

  // Services
  SessionLifecycle: SessionLifecycleService;
  SessionPersistence: SessionPersistenceService;

  // Repository
  SessionRepository: ISessionRepository;
}

3. Health Monitoring Domain

// core/domains/health-monitoring/
interface HealthMonitoringDomain {
  // Entities
  HealthCheck: HealthCheckEntity;
  Metric: MetricEntity;

  // Value Objects
  HealthStatus: HealthStatusVO;
  Threshold: ThresholdVO;

  // Services
  HealthCollector: HealthCollectionService;
  AlertManager: AlertManagementService;

  // Repository
  MetricsRepository: IMetricsRepository;
}

Microkernel Architecture Pattern

Core Kernel

// core/kernel/claude-flow-kernel.ts
export class ClaudeFlowKernel {
  private domains: Map<string, Domain> = new Map();
  private eventBus: DomainEventBus;
  private dependencyContainer: Container;

  async initialize(): Promise<void> {
    // Load core domains
    await this.loadDomain('task-management', new TaskManagementDomain());
    await this.loadDomain('session-management', new SessionManagementDomain());
    await this.loadDomain('health-monitoring', new HealthMonitoringDomain());

    // Wire up domain events
    this.setupDomainEventHandlers();
  }

  async loadDomain(name: string, domain: Domain): Promise<void> {
    await domain.initialize(this.dependencyContainer);
    this.domains.set(name, domain);
  }

  getDomain<T extends Domain>(name: string): T {
    const domain = this.domains.get(name);
    if (!domain) {
      throw new DomainNotLoadedError(name);
    }
    return domain as T;
  }
}

Plugin Architecture

// core/plugins/
interface DomainPlugin {
  name: string;
  version: string;
  dependencies: string[];

  initialize(kernel: ClaudeFlowKernel): Promise<void>;
  shutdown(): Promise<void>;
}

// Example: Swarm Coordination Plugin
export class SwarmCoordinationPlugin implements DomainPlugin {
  name = 'swarm-coordination';
  version = '3.0.0';
  dependencies = ['task-management', 'session-management'];

  async initialize(kernel: ClaudeFlowKernel): Promise<void> {
    const taskDomain = kernel.getDomain<TaskManagementDomain>('task-management');
    const sessionDomain = kernel.getDomain<SessionManagementDomain>('session-management');

    // Register swarm coordination services
    this.swarmCoordinator = new UnifiedSwarmCoordinator(taskDomain, sessionDomain);
    kernel.registerService('swarm-coordinator', this.swarmCoordinator);
  }
}

Domain Events & Integration

Event-Driven Communication

// core/shared/domain-events/
abstract class DomainEvent {
  public readonly eventId: string;
  public readonly aggregateId: string;
  public readonly occurredOn: Date;
  public readonly eventVersion: number;

  constructor(aggregateId: string) {
    this.eventId = crypto.randomUUID();
    this.aggregateId = aggregateId;
    this.occurredOn = new Date();
    this.eventVersion = 1;
  }
}

// Task domain events
export class TaskAssignedEvent extends DomainEvent {
  constructor(
    taskId: string,
    public readonly agentId: string,
    public readonly priority: Priority
  ) {
    super(taskId);
  }
}

export class TaskCompletedEvent extends DomainEvent {
  constructor(
    taskId: string,
    public readonly result: TaskResult,
    public readonly duration: number
  ) {
    super(taskId);
  }
}

// Event handlers
@EventHandler(TaskCompletedEvent)
export class TaskCompletedHandler {
  constructor(
    private metricsRepository: IMetricsRepository,
    private sessionService: SessionLifecycleService
  ) {}

  async handle(event: TaskCompletedEvent): Promise<void> {
    // Update metrics
    await this.metricsRepository.recordTaskCompletion(
      event.aggregateId,
      event.duration
    );

    // Update session state
    await this.sessionService.markTaskCompleted(
      event.aggregateId,
      event.result
    );
  }
}

Clean Architecture Layers

// Architecture layers
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│              Presentation               │  ← CLI, API, UI
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│              Application                │  ← Use Cases, Commands
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│               Domain                    │  ← Entities, Services, Events
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│            Infrastructure               │  ← DB, MCP, External APIs
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

// Dependency direction: Outside → Inside
// Domain layer has NO external dependencies

Application Layer (Use Cases)

// core/application/use-cases/
export class AssignTaskUseCase {
  constructor(
    private taskRepository: ITaskRepository,
    private agentRepository: IAgentRepository,
    private eventBus: DomainEventBus
  ) {}

  async execute(command: AssignTaskCommand): Promise<TaskResult> {
    // 1. Validate command
    await this.validateCommand(command);

    // 2. Load aggregates
    const task = await this.taskRepository.findById(command.taskId);
    const agent = await this.agentRepository.findById(command.agentId);

    // 3. Business logic (in domain)
    task.assignTo(agent);

    // 4. Persist changes
    await this.taskRepository.save(task);

    // 5. Publish domain events
    task.getUncommittedEvents().forEach(event =>
      this.eventBus.publish(event)
    );

    // 6. Return result
    return TaskResult.success(task);
  }
}

Module Configuration

Bounded Context Modules

// core/domains/task-management/module.ts
export const taskManagementModule = {
  name: 'task-management',

  entities: [
    TaskEntity,
    TaskQueueEntity
  ],

  valueObjects: [
    TaskIdVO,
    TaskStatusVO,
    PriorityVO
  ],

  services: [
    TaskSchedulingService,
    TaskValidationService
  ],

  repositories: [
    { provide: ITaskRepository, useClass: SqliteTaskRepository }
  ],

  eventHandlers: [
    TaskAssignedHandler,
    TaskCompletedHandler
  ]
};

Migration Strategy

Phase 1: Extract Domain Services

// Extract services from orchestrator.ts
const extractionPlan = {
  week1: [
    'TaskManager → task-management domain',
    'SessionManager → session-management domain'
  ],
  week2: [
    'HealthMonitor → health-monitoring domain',
    'LifecycleManager → lifecycle-management domain'
  ],
  week3: [
    'EventCoordinator → event-coordination domain',
    'Wire up domain events'
  ]
};

Phase 2: Implement Clean Interfaces

// Clean separation with dependency injection
export class TaskController {
  constructor(
    @Inject('AssignTaskUseCase') private assignTask: AssignTaskUseCase,
    @Inject('CompleteTaskUseCase') private completeTask: CompleteTaskUseCase
  ) {}

  async assign(request: AssignTaskRequest): Promise<TaskResponse> {
    const command = AssignTaskCommand.fromRequest(request);
    const result = await this.assignTask.execute(command);
    return TaskResponse.fromResult(result);
  }
}

Phase 3: Plugin System

// Enable plugin-based extensions
const pluginSystem = {
  core: ['task-management', 'session-management', 'health-monitoring'],
  optional: ['swarm-coordination', 'learning-integration', 'performance-monitoring']
};

Testing Strategy

Domain Testing (London School TDD)

// Pure domain logic testing
describe('Task Entity', () => {
  let task: TaskEntity;
  let mockAgent: jest.Mocked<AgentEntity>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    task = new TaskEntity(TaskId.create(), 'Test task');
    mockAgent = createMock<AgentEntity>();
  });

  it('should assign to agent when valid', () => {
    mockAgent.canAcceptTask.mockReturnValue(true);

    task.assignTo(mockAgent);

    expect(task.assignedAgent).toBe(mockAgent);
    expect(task.status.value).toBe('assigned');
  });

  it('should emit TaskAssignedEvent when assigned', () => {
    mockAgent.canAcceptTask.mockReturnValue(true);

    task.assignTo(mockAgent);

    const events = task.getUncommittedEvents();
    expect(events).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(events[0]).toBeInstanceOf(TaskAssignedEvent);
  });
});
