SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the construction and maintenance of backend web code by standardizing API routes, server actions, and data adapters, reducing boilerplate and risk in web projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scaffold API routes under web/app/api/<resource>/route.ts to enforce consistent structure.
Create and update data adapters under web/lib/data/ for reading CSVs/JSON and returning typed responses.
Validate inputs with Zod schemas located in web/lib/schemas/ to ensure robust, predictable behavior.
Return typed API responses and apply standard HTTP status codes for reliable client integration.
Cache expensive reads with unstable_cache or revalidateTag to optimize performance.
Follow conventions for shared types (web/lib/types.ts) and adapters (web/lib/data/<domain>.ts) to keep backend code cohesive.

Quick Start

Create or update backend web code by following the workflow to implement adapters, validate inputs with schemas, and expose typed API endpoints.

FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold API routes with Zod validation in a Next.js project?▼

To scaffold API routes with Zod validation, this Skill automates creating route files under web/app/api/<resource>/route.ts and applies Zod schemas from web/lib/schemas/ to enforce typed inputs and standard HTTP responses.

What's the best way to structure data adapters for reading CSV and JSON in TypeScript?▼

The best way to structure data adapters is to place them under web/lib/data/<domain>.ts, where this Skill standardizes reading CSVs and JSON files to return predictable, typed responses for data-driven applications.

How do I cache expensive backend reads using unstable_cache or revalidateTag?▼

You can cache expensive backend reads by applying unstable_cache or revalidateTag strategies within your data adapters, optimizing performance for heavy CSV or JSON data loading operations during server requests.

Can I use this backend scaffolding tool for server actions and data adapters?▼

Yes, you can use this backend scaffolding tool for server actions and data adapters. It automates the setup, validation, and wiring of backend web code specifically for Next.js-like projects using typed responses.

Does this backend builder enforce typed API responses and shared types?▼

Yes, this backend builder enforces typed API responses by applying standard HTTP status codes and following conventions for shared types located in web/lib/types.ts to keep backend code cohesive and reliable.

Where should I put Zod schemas for input validation in my web application?▼

You should put Zod schemas for input validation in the web/lib/schemas/ directory, ensuring robust and predictable behavior across your API routes and server actions.
