Checked
peopleforrester·vlatest·backend·MIT

Helps with backend development, patterns as part of developing backend services and APIs 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 peopleforrester/claude-dotfiles --skill backend-patterns -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 peopleforrester/claude-dotfiles at db7caa0374.

    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 a collection of backend patterns designed to improve code quality and maintainability. It offers reusable solutions for common architectural challenges, promoting consistent design choices across projects. The patterns are intended to be adaptable and can be applied in various programming languages and frameworks.

When to use it

  • When designing the architecture for a new backend system or microservice.
  • To refactor existing codebases and improve their structure.
  • As a reference guide for developers seeking best practices in backend development.
  • During code reviews to ensure adherence to established patterns.

Key capabilities

  • Collection of reusable backend design patterns.
  • Promotes consistent architectural choices.
  • Adaptable across different programming languages and frameworks.
  • Provides solutions for common backend challenges.

Example prompts

  • "Suggest a pattern for handling asynchronous tasks in a microservice architecture."
  • "Explain the benefits of using the Saga pattern for distributed transactions."
  • "Show me an example implementation of the CQRS pattern."

Tips & gotchas

The patterns provided are intended as guidelines and may require adaptation based on specific project requirements. A good understanding of backend architectural principles is recommended to effectively utilize this skill.
