What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the common pain point of building backend systems that are tightly coupled, hard to test, and difficult to maintain as they scale, by providing standardized, proven architecture patterns that enforce clear separation of concerns and reduce technical debt.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-Pattern Coverage: Includes implementation guidance for Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design, the three most widely adopted backend architecture frameworks.
- Practical Implementation Examples: Provides full, runnable code samples for each pattern, including domain entities, use cases, adapters, and repository implementations.
- Real-World Use Case: A team building the HidroAliaga water distribution analysis backend can use these patterns to separate hydraulic calculation business logic from database and API concerns, making the core logic testable without external dependencies and easy to modify as regulatory requirements change.
- Best Practices & Pitfalls: Includes actionable guidance on avoiding common mistakes like anemic domain models and framework coupling, plus checklists for adhering to core architecture principles.
Quick Start
Use the architecture-patterns skill to design the layered backend structure for the new water demand optimization module following Clean Architecture principles.
