Frame Domain
Use when grounding a product in the real-world activity it serves and bounding its MVP before any screen, service, or architecture is drawn — at the G1.5 Domain & MVP point of the discovery loop, or standalone. Triggers on "frame the domain", "how is this activity really done", "ground this before we design", "what's in/out of the MVP", "draw the scope boundary", "is this scope creep". Produces two typed artifacts from one research-grounded pass — Domain Framing (real-world-activity grounding + best practice + naive-failure modes, plus a brownfield current-system half) and Scope Boundary (the MVP out-of-scope register). Do NOT use to shape the intent behind the work (use `frame-intent`), to test whether a bet holds (use `de-risk-intent`), or to break an intent down (use `decompose-intent`).

From the source SKILL.md
Ground a product in the real-world activity it serves and bound its MVP before any screen, service, or architecture is drawn. This is the discovery loop's deepest correctness lever: the agent cannot reason through a domain it does not know, so left ungrounded it hallucinates the domain and over-scopes. frame-domain runs at the G1.5 Domain & MVP point — after decompose-intent has produced capabilities, before the convergent design loop — or standalone.
What this skill does
Frame Domain is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/frame-domain/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when grounding a product in the real-world activity it serves and bounding its MVP before any screen, service, or architecture is drawn — at the G1.5 Domain & MVP point of the discovery loop, or standalone.
Who uses this skill
The Frame Domain Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Frame Domain skill?
Use Frame Domain when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the research methods area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Frame Domain" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Frame Domain 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. Frame Domain is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category. Learn more at
