# Create New Registry Entry
Guide the user through creating a properly structured registry entry.
## Arguments
- `$1` - Element type: component, software-system, data-concept, data-aggregate, data-entity, domain-event, api-endpoint, etc.
- `$2+` - Element name (can have spaces)
If arguments not provided, ask the user:
1. What type of element?
2. What is the element name?
3. Which domain does it belong to?
## Element Type to Folder Mapping
**Do NOT hardcode paths.** Always discover dynamically:
1. Read `models/registry-mapping.yaml`
2. Find the element type under `elements:`
3. Use the `folder:` field for that type to determine the target directory
4. Prepend `registry-v2/` to the folder path
This ensures the skill works even if users rename layers, types, or restructure folders.
## Workflow
1. Determine element type and target folder
2. Read `_template.md` in the target folder for structure
3. Read 1-2 existing entries in target folder for pattern reference
4. Create filename: kebab-case of name (e.g., "Payment Record" -> "payment-record.md")
5. Fill frontmatter:
- name: [provided name]
- owner: TBD
- status: draft
- [type-specific fields and relationships from template]
6. Write file to correct folder
7. Run validation: `python scripts/validate.py`
## Response Format
```
**Created:** registry-v2/<layer>/<type-folder>/element-name.md
**Frontmatter:**
---
type: <element-type>
name: <Element Name>
owner: TBD
status: draft
<type-specific fields from template>
---
**Next Steps:**
1. Fill in TBD fields
2. Add description in the body
3. Run /validate to verify
Would you like me to help fill in any of the TBD fields?
```
## Domain-Specific Fields
For **data** elements (concepts, aggregates, entities), also include:
- Relationship to parent element (data concept -> aggregate -> entity chain)
- classification: internal/business-confidential/pii
For **software** elements (systems, subsystems), also include:
- sourcing: in-house/vendor/hybrid
- vendor: (if vendor)
- realizes_component: Which component this system supports
## Notes
- Always use kebab-case for filenames
- Mark unknown fields as TBD rather than guessing
- Run validation after creation to catch issues early
- Suggest wiring relationships as a follow-up actionNo comments yet. Be the first to comment!
