What is the before-backend-dev skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that mandates the review of project-specific backend documentation before starting any development tasks to ensure architectural consistency.

Why is this skill mandatory before writing code?

It prevents technical debt and architectural drift by ensuring that the AI assistant follows your project's unique patterns for error handling and data modeling from the start.

Can I use this with any backend project?

Yes, provided you maintain your project guidelines in the expected .trellis directory structure, allowing the skill to parse your specific standards.

Where does this skill look for guidelines?

The skill specifically targets the .trellis/spec/backend/ directory, looking for an index file and specific guides on database work, error handling, logging, and type safety.

Desarrollo de API

Enforces project-specific backend coding standards by reviewing mandatory guidelines before implementation begins.

The Backend Development Standards Guide is designed to integrate architectural compliance directly into the development workflow. By requiring Claude to analyze specific documentation within the .trellis directory—including database conventions, error handling, logging, and type-safety protocols—this skill ensures that all backend contributions are consistent with the project's existing patterns. It serves as a mandatory pre-flight check that reduces code review cycles and maintains high-quality software architecture by ensuring the AI fully understands domain-specific requirements before writing a single line of code.
