What observability features are included?

The skill implements structured JSON logging, request tracing, metrics monitoring, and standardized health check endpoints (/health and /ready).

How does it handle authentication?

It provides standard JWT (JSON Web Token) implementation patterns, including payload structures and secure middleware for request verification.

What API styles does this skill focus on?

The skill focuses on RESTful conventions, providing standardized structures for endpoints, JSON response formats, and error handling.

Does it support database optimization?

Yes, it includes advanced PostgreSQL patterns for UUIDs, efficient cursor-based pagination, soft deletes, and optimized indexing.

API Development

Standardizes backend architecture through best practices in API design, database modeling, and scalable microservices patterns.

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect and implement robust, production-ready backend systems by providing a comprehensive framework for modern development. It covers RESTful API conventions, advanced PostgreSQL schema design (including UUIDs and soft deletes), and secure JWT-based authentication workflows. Additionally, the skill includes patterns for high-performance caching using Redis, rate limiting for API security, and observability best practices like structured logging and health monitoring. Whether building from scratch or optimizing existing services, this skill ensures compositional coherence and industry-standard reliability.
