Evolutionary Modular Architecture

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Evolutionary Modular Architecture skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Evolutionary Modular Architecture is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.

Guides design and implementation of evolutionary modular-monolith platforms with DDD (strategic + tactical), flat-by-aggregate organization, an Anti-Corruption Layer for vendor independence, a transactional outbox for events, smart resilience (backoff with jitter, circuit breakers, idempotency), and a polished architecture HTML document with elegant SVG diagrams. Use when designing a platform or backend, defining bounded contexts, organizing modules and folders, choosing monolith vs microservices, decoupling from an external service (ERP, storage, AI), making calls resilient, adding real-time push, picking a 2026 TypeScript stack (Nx, NestJS, React), or producing an architecture document or diagram. Also triggers on 'modular monolith', 'bounded contexts', 'flat-by-aggregate', 'ports and adapters', 'architecture diagram'. Do NOT use for simple CRUD, NestJS-only deep implementation (use nestjs-modular-monolith), or pure domain-model review (use tactical-ddd).

From the source SKILL.md

Design and build platforms as an evolutionary modular monolith: strong logical boundaries from day one (DDD bounded contexts, flat-by-aggregate modules, an Anti-Corruption Layer around every external system, event-driven communication, resilience by default) while keeping physical boundaries (separate deploys, separate databases) as a later, optional step. Start simple, evolve granularity only when the product and the team justify it — never reverse-engineer microservices from hype.

What this skill does

Evolutionary Modular Architecture is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/evolutionary-modular-architecture/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when designing a platform or backend, defining bounded contexts, organizing modules and folders, choosing monolith vs microservices, decoupling from an external service (ERP, storage, AI), making calls resilient, adding real-time push, picking a 2026 TypeScript stack (Nx, NestJS, React), or producing an architecture document or diagram.
