About This Skill
The Directus Backend Architecture skill enables AI agents to design, configure, and optimize the structural backbone of Directus applications. It focuses on setting up collections, defining relationships, managing access controls, and configuring API endpoints to ensure a robust data layer.
When to use it
- Initializing a new Directus instance with specific database drivers and collection schemas.
- Configuring role-based access control (RBAC) policies for multi-tenant or enterprise environments.
- Optimizing query performance by adjusting indexes, relations, and API settings.
- Integrating Directus with external services via custom webhooks or extension points.
Key capabilities
- Database schema management and collection creation
- Relation mapping (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many)
- Access control list (ACL) configuration
- API endpoint customization and authentication setup
- Extension installation and lifecycle management
Example prompts
- "Design a Directus backend architecture for an e-commerce platform with products, orders, and users."
- "Configure role-based permissions so that editors can update content but not delete collections."
- "Optimize the Directus API response times by adjusting indexes on high-traffic collection fields."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your database driver is properly configured before attempting to create or modify collections. Always test access control rules in a staging environment before deploying to production to avoid locking out legitimate users.
