# Domain model

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Clean code and architecture](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture.md).

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-22.

> Split the code into bounded contexts with their own words. Change aggregates only through their root, one per transaction. Translate outside models at the edge.

## Recommended

- ARC-74 [Give each bounded context its own model and words](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture/domain-model/bounded-contexts.md) · 849 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Split the code into bounded contexts, such as billing, catalogue and shipping. Each context has its own module, its own types and its own glossary, and other contexts use only its public entry point.
- ARC-75 [Change an aggregate only through its root](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture/domain-model/aggregate-root.md) · 1,089 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Group objects that must stay consistent together into an aggregate, such as an order and its lines. Outside code changes them only through methods on the root, which check every business rule.
- ARC-76 [Change one aggregate per transaction](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture/domain-model/one-aggregate-per-transaction.md) · 680 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Save one aggregate per database transaction. Refer to other aggregates by their ID, and update them afterwards through events.
- ARC-77 [Translate outside models at the boundary](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture/domain-model/anti-corruption-layer.md) · 1,009 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Convert the types of every outside system into your own types in one adapter module. Examples are a payment provider, a legacy app or another context. No other code imports the outside types.
