Part 56: CLI Plugin BC📋

New, List, Map📋

The strategic layer — bounded contexts, context relationships, subdomains — is the most consequential layer of the corpus. @frenchexdev/ddd-cli-plugin-bc gives the operator three verbs to inspect and extend it: bc:new to scaffold a new context, bc:list to inventory existing ones, bc:map to render the full strategic map.

The Three Tasks📋

bc:new <name> — scaffold a new bounded-context skeleton at the consumer site. Produces a typed anchor class with @BoundedContext({ name }) and an empty ubiquitous map ready for the team to populate. The discipline of one bounded context per file, named after the context's strategic identity lives in the scaffolder.

bc:list — scan the workspace for @BoundedContext-decorated classes and print each with its name, source file, and declared ubiquitous-language term count. Output is the operator's quick what contexts exist here answer without grepping.

bc:map — render the context map. Combines the BOUNDED_CONTEXT_REGISTRY (every BC, sorted) and the RELATIONSHIP_REGISTRY (every relationship, with power-directed arrows) into a single Mermaid flowchart. The result is the strategic diagram, generated from the source of truth (the decorators), not hand-drawn from the architect's memory.

The three tasks together cover the operator's strategic workflow: add a context, audit the contexts, visualise their relationships.

Cross-Links📋

• Reads BOUNDED_CONTEXT_REGISTRY emitted by BoundedContext codegen.
• Reads RELATIONSHIP_REGISTRY and per-relationship CONTEXT_MAP_FRAGMENT outputs from ContextRelationship codegen.
• Built on CLI Framework + CLI Kernel.
