add-bc-contract
Add Contract for inter-BC communication using Provider pattern. Use when one Bounded Context needs to access data from another BC (e.g., Inventory needs Articles from Admin). Creates Contract interface, Provider implementation, and configuration.
Best use case
add-bc-contract is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Add Contract for inter-BC communication using Provider pattern. Use when one Bounded Context needs to access data from another BC (e.g., Inventory needs Articles from Admin). Creates Contract interface, Provider implementation, and configuration.
Teams using add-bc-contract should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Add BC Contract
Create Contract for inter-BC communication using Provider pattern.
---
## When to Use
- BC needs to read data from another BC
- Creating select options from another BC (TwigComponent)
- Exposing domain data to other contexts
---
## Inputs/Outputs
| Input | Example | Output |
|-------|---------|--------|
| provider_bc | Admin | `ProviderBC/Contracts/ContractName.php` |
| consumer_bc | Inventory | `ProviderBC/Adapters/Contracts/ProviderBCContractName.php` |
| contract_name | ArticleProvider | `ProviderBC/Frameworks/config/services.yaml` (updated) |
| methods | ['provide', 'provideAll'] | `ConsumerBC/Frameworks/deptrac.yaml` (updated) |
---
## Process
| Step | File | Action |
|------|------|--------|
| **Contract** | `ProviderBC/Contracts/ContractName.php` | Interface with methods (template: `contract.php.tpl`) |
| **Provider** | `ProviderBC/Adapters/Contracts/ProviderBCContractName.php` | Implementation with Finder (template: `provider.php.tpl`) |
| **Config** | `ProviderBC/Frameworks/config/services.yaml` | Autowire Contract → Provider |
| **Deptrac** | `ConsumerBC/Frameworks/deptrac.yaml` | Allow ProviderBC\Contracts |
| **Validate** | - | `make cs-fixer && make stan && bin/deptrac analyse && make qa` |
---
## Structures
**Contract** (interface in `ProviderBC/Contracts/`):
```php
interface ContractName {
public function provide(string $uuid): EntityData; // throws
public function provideAll(?array $ids = null): iterable;
}
```
**Provider** (`readonly`, uses Finder):
```php
final readonly class ProviderBCContractName implements ContractName {
public function __construct(private EntityFinder $finder) {} // Finder, NOT Repository
public function provide(string $uuid): EntityData {
$entity = $this->finder->find($uuid) ?? throw EntityNotFound::fromUuid($uuid);
return $this->toData($entity);
}
public function provideAll(?array $ids = null): iterable {
$entities = $ids ? $this->finder->findByUuids($ids) : $this->finder->findAll();
foreach ($entities as $entity) {
yield $this->toData($entity);
}
}
private function toData(Entity $entity): EntityData { /* convert to DTO */ }
}
```
**Config** (`ProviderBC/Frameworks/config/services.yaml`):
```yaml
ProviderBC\Contracts\ContractName:
class: ProviderBC\Adapters\Contracts\ProviderBCContractName
```
**Deptrac** (`ConsumerBC/Frameworks/deptrac.yaml`):
```yaml
ConsumerBC\Adapters:
- ProviderBC\Contracts # ONLY Contracts, NOT Entities/UseCases
```
**See**: `docs/GLOSSARY.md#contract`, `#provider`, `#data-dto`
---
## Rules
**CRITICAL**:
- Provider uses Finder (NOT Repository) - providers are read-only
- Consumer depends ONLY on Contract interface (never Provider implementation)
- Deptrac allows ONLY `Contracts` namespace (not Entities/UseCases)
**Locations**:
- Contract: `ProviderBC/Contracts/`
- Provider: `ProviderBC/Adapters/Contracts/`
- Exception: `ProviderBC/Contracts/Exception/` if needed
- DTO: `ProviderBC/Contracts/DTO/` if complex data
**Naming**:
- Contract: `{Entity}Provider` (e.g., ArticleProvider)
- Provider: `{BC}{Contract}` (e.g., AdminArticleProvider)
---
## Variants
**Query Provider** (data access):
```php
public function provide(string $uuid): EntityData;
public function provideAll(?array $ids = null): iterable;
```
**TwigComponent Provider** (form select):
```php
/** @return array<string, string> [uuid => label] */
public function getAllForChoice(): array;
```
---
## Templates
- `contract.php.tpl` - Contract interface
- `provider.php.tpl` - Provider implementation
**Location**: `.claude/templates/`
