Generation Instructions

1. Analyze project:

   • Identify architecture style (DDD, Hexagonal, etc.)
   • Map directory structure
   • Find bounded contexts

2. Define layers:

   • Start with main layers (Domain, Application, Infrastructure, Presentation)
   • Add sublayers if needed
   • Create bounded context layers if multi-context

3. Define rules:

   • Domain depends on nothing
   • Each layer depends only on inner layers
   • Cross-context only via SharedKernel/Events

4. Handle violations:

   • Generate baseline for existing violations
   • Plan refactoring to remove violations

Usage

Provide:

• Project path
• Architecture style (DDD/Hexagonal/Layered)
• Bounded contexts (if any)
• Current violations to baseline (optional)

The generator will:

1. Analyze directory structure
2. Create appropriate layers
3. Define dependency rules
4. Generate baseline if needed
