SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend projects often suffer from architectural drift as teams add endpoints, services, and data access patterns without consistent boundaries. This Skill provides guardrails to enforce Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, and disciplined layer ownership before finishing changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces stable dependency direction between Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and Api layers.
Guides reviewers to validate ownership, separation of concerns, and DI wiring during backend changes.
Applies during code changes, reviews, refactors, and architectural proposals to prevent bloated classes and coupling.

Quick Start

Run the guardrails on the next backend change to validate layer boundaries and DI wiring before completing the PR.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce clean architecture boundaries during backend refactoring?▼

To enforce clean architecture boundaries during backend refactoring, apply architectural guardrails that validate stable dependency direction between Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and API layers. This prevents architectural drift and coupling before changes are completed.

What is dependency inversion and how do guardrails validate it in backend services?▼

Dependency inversion ensures high-level modules do not depend on low-level modules. Architectural guardrails validate this by identifying the owning layer and checking dependency-injection wiring across endpoints, services, and repositories during backend code reviews.

Can I use architectural guardrails to review existing domain models and use cases?▼

Yes, you can apply architectural guardrails to review existing domain models and use cases. The guardrails identify the owning layer, validate separation of concerns, and ensure dependency direction is preserved across engineering tasks and refactors.

What's the best way to prevent architectural drift when adding new endpoints and services?▼

The best way to prevent architectural drift when adding new endpoints and services is to run architectural guardrails that enforce SOLID principles and layer ownership. This validates boundaries and DI wiring before completing the pull request.

Do I need .editorconfig directives to apply clean architecture guardrails?▼

Yes, applying .editorconfig directives is required before finishing changes. The architectural guardrails process uses these directives alongside layer ownership validation to enforce backend design rules during code changes and refactors.
