strata:domain

strata:domain

Domain notes are the long-lived part of team memory. They define vocabulary (what does "Tenant" mean here?), encode invariants (an Order always belongs to exactly one Customer), and pin conventions (event names use past tense).

Rules

• One concept per file. Split rather than expand.
• Filename in kebab-case: medication-administration-windows.md.
• Frontmatter required (see templates/domain.md).
• Use Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]] to cross-reference other domain notes and ADRs by filename without extension.

How

User runs /strata:domain <concept-name>. You:

1. Recall first. Call recall(query="<concept>", scope="domain", layer=1) to find an existing note for this concept, possibly under a different slug. If one exists, UPDATE it instead of forking a second definition; if two notes would conflict, reconcile through /strata:correct. Only create a new note when recall shows nothing close.
2. If new, write the body using templates/domain.md as the shape.
3. Save it directly to <vault>/<repo>/domain/<slug>.md via the standard Write tool. Use the absolute path printed by /strata:init or read it from strata.memory_status via MCP.

After saving, regenerate the index so the MCP search picks it up:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/strata" reindex

Cross-repo (shared) domain notes

For vocabulary that applies across multiple repos (e.g. a company-wide Convention), put the note at <vault>/_shared/domain/<slug>.md. The MCP Search includes shared notes by default.
