Backend Architecture Guidelines

Checked
asakuno·vlatest·backend

Helps with backend development, guidelines as part of agent workflows workflows.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add asakuno/template-repository --skill backend-architecture-guidelines -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned asakuno/template-repository at 5956ca2b99.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance on backend architecture. It helps users design robust and scalable systems, considering factors like database selection, API design, and deployment strategies. The tool aims to ensure that backend infrastructure aligns with project requirements and best practices.

When to use it

  • Designing a new web application or service requiring a server-side component.
  • Refactoring an existing backend system for improved performance or maintainability.
  • Evaluating different architectural patterns (e.g., microservices, monolithic) for a specific project.
  • Troubleshooting scalability issues in a deployed backend environment.

Key capabilities

  • Database selection guidance
  • API design recommendations
  • Deployment strategy suggestions
  • Architectural pattern evaluation

Example prompts

  • "Suggest a database solution for an e-commerce platform handling millions of transactions."
  • "What are the pros and cons of using microservices versus a monolithic architecture for this project?"
  • “Give me advice on designing RESTful APIs for a mobile application.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's recommendations are based on general best practices. Specific implementation details will depend on your technology stack and unique project constraints.
