dotnet-domain-primitives

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents "primitive obsession" in .NET domain models by enforcing the use of strongly typed identifiers and value objects, leading to more robust, type-safe, and maintainable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Strongly Typed IDs: Replaces primitive types like Guid or int for entity identifiers with custom, type-safe ID objects.
• Value Objects: Encapsulates meaningful primitives (e.g., EmailAddress, Money) with built-in validation and immutability.
• Boundary Enforcement: Ensures conversions to/from primitive types occur only at explicit boundaries (persistence, transport, serialization).
• Use Case: When designing a new Order entity, instead of using Guid for OrderId, you define a OrderId strongly typed ID, ensuring it can never be accidentally mixed up with a CustomerId or other Guids.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-domain-primitives skill to create a strongly typed CustomerId for your domain entities.
