Pragmatic Programmer
Skill Verified ActiveApply meta-principles of software craftsmanship: DRY, orthogonality, tracer bullets, and design by contract. Use when the user mentions "best practices", "pragmatic approach", "broken windows", "tracer bullet", "software craftsmanship", "technical debt prevention", "prototype vs tracer bullet", or "code ownership". Also trigger when evaluating build-vs-buy decisions, designing estimation approaches, or choosing between reversible and irreversible architectural decisions. Covers estimation, domain languages, and reversibility. For code-level quality, see clean-code. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns.
Apply foundational software craftsmanship principles to design better systems, improve code quality, and manage technical debt effectively.
Features
- Apply DRY knowledge principle
- Design orthogonal systems
- Utilize tracer bullets and prototypes
- Implement design by contract
- Combat software entropy with broken window theory
Use Cases
- When evaluating software designs and architecture
- When reviewing code for quality and maintainability
- When advising on engineering culture and practices
- When deciding between building a tracer bullet or a prototype
Non-Goals
- Providing specific language syntax or framework implementation details
- Replacing the need to read 'The Pragmatic Programmer' book
- Offering a "one-size-fits-all" solution to software development challenges

V3 Ddd Architecture
100Domain-Driven Design architecture for claude-flow v3. Implements modular, bounded context architecture with clean separation of concerns and microkernel pattern.
Pathfinder
100Map a codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns across features, and propose a unified architecture. Use when asked to "find the ideal path," unify duplicated systems, or audit architecture before a refactor. Emits a proposed unified flowchart plus per-system /make-plan prompts.
