How does it handle database interactions?

It uses SQLAlchemy 2.x in asynchronous mode, enforcing the use of the 'forge_' table prefix, UUID primary keys, and mandatory timestamp fields for all models.

Why is the service layer emphasized?

By moving logic out of routers and into a pure async service layer, the code becomes easier to test, reuse across different endpoints, and maintain over time.

What is the PatriotForge Backend skill?

It is a specialized set of patterns and best practices that helps Claude generate and maintain FastAPI backends using a specific, modular architectural standard.

Does it include support for testing?

Yes, it promotes an app factory pattern and state-based dependency injection, which makes swapping real database sessions for test sessions simple and reliable.

Which Python version does this skill support?

The skill is optimized for Python 3.12, utilizing modern features like advanced type hinting and the latest library versions for SQLAlchemy and Pydantic.

API Development

Develops enterprise-grade, async Python backends using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.x, and a structured service-layer architecture.

The PatriotForge Backend skill provides Claude with specialized guidance for building robust, scalable server-side applications within the PatriotForge ecosystem. It enforces modern Python 3.12 standards and a clean architectural separation between routers, business logic, and data persistence. By leveraging async SQLAlchemy 2.x, Pydantic v2, and state-based dependency injection, this skill ensures that backend code is not only high-performance but also highly testable and maintainable. It is ideal for developers needing to implement complex API logic, database migrations via Alembic, and Redis-backed caching with strict type safety and formatting standards.
