SOLID Java - Modular Architecture

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing architecture
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify Java docs via Context7
3. fuse-ai-pilot:sniper - Post-implementation validation

---

DRY - Reuse Before Creating (MANDATORY)

Before writing ANY new code:

1. Grep the codebase for similar interfaces, services, or logic
2. Check shared locations: modules/core/services/, modules/core/interfaces/
3. If similar code exists -> extend/reuse instead of duplicate
4. If code will be used by 2+ features -> create it in modules/core/

---

Architecture (Modules MANDATORY)

Layer	Location	Max Lines
Controllers	modules/[feature]/controllers/	50
Services	modules/[feature]/services/	100
Repositories	modules/[feature]/repositories/	100
Interfaces	modules/[feature]/interfaces/	30
Models/DTOs	modules/[feature]/models/	50
Shared	modules/core/{services,interfaces,models}/	-

NEVER use flat src/ structure - always modules/[feature]/

---

Critical Rules (MANDATORY)

Rule	Value
File limit	100 lines (split at 90)
Controllers	< 50 lines, delegate to services
Interfaces	modules/[feature]/interfaces/ ONLY
Javadoc	Every public method documented
Records	Use for DTOs (Java 16+)
Sealed	Use for restricted hierarchies (Java 17+)

Forbidden

Anti-Pattern	Fix
Files > 100 lines	Split at 90
Interfaces in impl files	Move to interfaces/ directory
new ConcreteClass() in services	Use dependency injection
Flat src/ structure	Use modules/[feature]/
God classes	Split by responsibility
