# Domain Expertise Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Guide for creating domain expertise skills that work efficiently with create-plans.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Domain expertise provides context-specific knowledge (Swift/macOS patterns, Next.js conventions, Unity workflows) that makes plans more accurate and actionable.
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical:** Domain skills must be context-efficient. Loading 20k+ tokens of references defeats the purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||

## Core Principles
|
||||
|
||||
[Fundamental patterns that apply to ALL work in this domain]
|
||||
[Should be complete enough to plan without loading references]
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
- File organization patterns
|
||||
- Naming conventions
|
||||
- Architecture patterns
|
||||
- Common gotchas to avoid
|
||||
- Framework-specific requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep this section comprehensive but concise (~3-5k tokens).**
|
||||
</principles>
|
||||
|
||||
<references_index>
|
||||
## Reference Loading Guide
|
||||
|
||||
When planning phases, load references based on phase type:
|
||||
|
||||
**For [phase-type-1] phases:**
|
||||
- references/[file1].md - [What it contains]
|
||||
- references/[file2].md - [What it contains]
|
||||
|
||||
**For [phase-type-2] phases:**
|
||||
- references/[file3].md - [What it contains]
|
||||
- references/[file4].md - [What it contains]
|
||||
|
||||
**Always useful (load for any phase):**
|
||||
- references/conventions.md - [What it contains]
|
||||
- references/common-patterns.md - [What it contains]
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples of phase type mapping:**
|
||||
- Database/persistence phases → database.md, migrations.md
|
||||
- UI/layout phases → ui-patterns.md, design-system.md
|
||||
- API/backend phases → api-routes.md, auth.md
|
||||
- Integration phases → system-apis.md, third-party.md
|
||||
</references_index>
|
||||
|
||||
<workflows>
|
||||
## Optional Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
[If domain has specific workflows, list them here]
|
||||
[These are NOT auto-loaded - only used when specifically invoked]
|
||||
</workflows>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference File Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
Each reference file should be:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Focused** - Single concern (database patterns, UI layout, API design)
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Actionable** - Contains patterns Claude can directly apply
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Database Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Table Naming
|
||||
- Singular nouns (User, not Users)
|
||||
- snake_case for SQL, PascalCase for models
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
- Soft deletes: deleted_at timestamp
|
||||
- Audit columns: created_at, updated_at
|
||||
- Foreign keys: [table]_id format
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Sized appropriately** - 500-2000 lines (~1-5k tokens)
|
||||
- Too small: Not worth separate file
|
||||
- Too large: Split into more focused files
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Self-contained** - Can be understood without reading other references
|
||||
|
||||
## Context Efficiency Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad (old approach):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Load all references: 10,728 lines = ~27k tokens
|
||||
Result: 50% context before planning starts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Good (new approach):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Load SKILL.md: ~5k tokens
|
||||
Planning UI phase → load ui-layout.md + conventions.md: ~7k tokens
|
||||
Total: ~12k tokens (saves 15k for workspace)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase Type Classification
|
||||
|
||||
Help create-plans determine which references to load:
|
||||
|
||||
**Common phase types:**
|
||||
- **Foundation/Setup** - Project structure, dependencies, configuration
|
||||
- **Database/Data** - Schema, models, migrations, queries
|
||||
- **API/Backend** - Routes, controllers, business logic, auth
|
||||
- **UI/Frontend** - Components, layouts, styling, interactions
|
||||
- **Integration** - External APIs, system services, third-party SDKs
|
||||
- **Features** - Domain-specific functionality
|
||||
- **Polish** - Performance, accessibility, error handling
|
||||
|
||||
**References should map to these types** so create-plans can load the right context.
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
If you have an existing domain skill with many references:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Audit references** - What's actually useful vs. reference dumps?
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Consolidate principles** - Move core patterns into SKILL.md principles section
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create references_index** - Map phase types to relevant references
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Test loading** - Verify you can plan a phase with <15k token overhead
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Iterate** - Adjust groupings based on actual planning needs
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: macos-apps
|
||||
|
||||
**Before (inefficient):**
|
||||
- 20 reference files
|
||||
- Load all: 10,728 lines (~27k tokens)
|
||||
|
||||
**After (efficient):**
|
||||
|
||||
SKILL.md contains:
|
||||
- Swift/SwiftUI core principles
|
||||
- macOS app architecture patterns
|
||||
- Common patterns (MV VM, data flow)
|
||||
- references_index mapping:
|
||||
- UI phases → swiftui-layout.md, appleHIG.md (~4k)
|
||||
- Data phases → core-data.md, swift-concurrency.md (~5k)
|
||||
- System phases → appkit-integration.md, menu-bar.md (~3k)
|
||||
- Always → swift-conventions.md (~2k)
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** 5-12k tokens instead of 27k (saves 15-22k for planning)
