SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you design and review backend systems so controllers stay thin, business logic is structured correctly, and APIs are safe, performant, and maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered backend architecture guidance: Drive a clear flow from request handling through services/actions to persistence and side effects.
  • Production-grade API design and review: Align endpoints, request validation, authorization, response shapes, and status codes to robust conventions.
  • Scalability and reliability guardrails: Cover transactions, caching strategy, event-driven patterns, idempotent retryable jobs, and anti-pattern detection.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to review your planned backend feature with an API-design-first approach and return a prioritized architecture plan and checklist-based findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design scalable backend architecture for API endpoints?▼

Scalable backend architecture is achieved by keeping controllers thin and delegating business logic to a structured service layer, ensuring clear data persistence, safe request validation, and isolated side effects for maintainable APIs.

What is the best way to handle idempotent retryable jobs in backend systems?▼

Idempotent retryable jobs are managed through event-driven patterns and job queues, ensuring transactional integrity and reliable side-effect execution even when retries occur across backend systems.

Does this backend architecture guidance work with Laravel, Node.js, and Next.js?▼

Backend architecture guidance applies directly to Laravel, Node.js, and Next.js patterns, enforcing layered responsibilities, safe request and response contracts, and performance-critical refactoring across these frameworks.

How do I structure API authorization and request validation logic?▼

API authorization and request validation are structured by enforcing layered responsibilities and safe request and response contracts, aligning endpoints, status codes, and response shapes to robust production conventions.

When do I need bounded reads and caching strategy in backend feature design?▼

Bounded reads and caching strategy are needed when designing performance-critical backend features, ensuring paginated data retrieval and scalable reliability guardrails to prevent unbounded queries.

Why does my backend service layer have transactional integrity issues during side effects?▼

Transactional integrity issues occur when side effects are not properly isolated within the service layer, requiring event-driven patterns and transactional boundaries to ensure reliable state changes and idempotent job execution.
