Looking for help on concrete shear cores (in particular isolated stair cores)

What do most of you do when you have a doorway at the extreme end of the shear wall. Where one jamb of the door is the shear wall, and the other jamb is the perpindicular wall of the core.

Do you disregard the "coupling/outrigger beam"?
Do you design the beam a "coupling/outrigger beam"?
