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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides a collection of proven patterns and best practices for building robust and scalable backend systems. It helps automate common architectural decisions, reduces boilerplate code, and promotes consistency across projects. The skill focuses on applying established design principles to improve maintainability and performance in server-side applications.
When to use it
- When starting a new backend project and wanting to leverage proven architectures.
- To refactor existing backend codebases for improved structure and scalability.
- For teams seeking to standardize their backend development practices.
- When needing to quickly implement common backend features with reliable patterns.
Key capabilities
- Architectural pattern implementation
- Code generation based on established designs
- Boilerplate reduction
- Consistency enforcement across projects
Example prompts
- "Generate a REST API endpoint using the layered architecture pattern."
- "Implement a message queue consumer with retry logic."
- "Create a database migration script for adding a new user table."
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes some familiarity with backend development concepts and common architectural patterns. While it automates much of the process, understanding the underlying principles will allow you to customize and adapt the generated code effectively.
