Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
The backend-architect skill enables AI agents to design, plan, and execute robust server-side infrastructure strategies tailored to specific application requirements. It assists in selecting appropriate technologies, defining microservices boundaries, and ensuring scalability and security within complex distributed systems.
When to use it
- Planning the architecture for a new high-traffic web application or API service.
- Evaluating technology stacks for migrating legacy monolithic applications to microservices.
- Designing database schemas and caching strategies to optimize data retrieval performance.
- Defining security protocols and network topology for cloud-native deployments.
Key capabilities
- Architectural pattern selection (e.g., microservices, event-driven, serverless).
- Technology stack recommendation based on project constraints.
- Scalability and fault tolerance planning.
- Security best practices implementation guidance.
- Database design and optimization strategies.
Example prompts
- "Propose a backend architecture for a real-time chat application handling 10,000 concurrent users."
- "What are the best practices for designing a secure payment gateway using microservices?"
- "Create a migration plan to convert our current monolithic codebase into a scalable event-driven system."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you provide context about expected traffic volume and compliance requirements (like GDPR or HIPAA) to receive relevant architectural advice. This skill focuses on high-level design; specific implementation details may require additional coding skills.
