SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Analyzes Python FastAPI backends to identify architectural issues, async performance bottlenecks, and logic quality gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static AST-based review to detect blocking I/O in async functions.
  • Identifies long-running async functions and potential concurrency hazards.
  • Highlights common architectural anti-patterns like global DB sessions and improper DI usage.
  • Use case: audit a FastAPI service to improve throughput and reliability.

Quick Start

Run the analyse_ast tool against your Python FastAPI project to identify async performance hotspots.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find blocking calls in async FastAPI routes?

Finding blocking calls in async FastAPI routes requires static AST analysis to scan data access patterns and dependencies, surfacing synchronous I/O operations that degrade throughput in a structured report.

What causes concurrency hazards in Python FastAPI backends?

Concurrency hazards in Python FastAPI backends stem from architectural anti-patterns like global DB sessions and improper dependency injection, creating shared state risks and long-running async bottlenecks.

How do I audit a FastAPI service for async performance bottlenecks?

Auditing a FastAPI service for async performance bottlenecks involves analyzing routes and data access patterns to identify long-running async functions and inefficiencies, producing a structured remediation report.

Can static analysis detect improper dependency injection in FastAPI?

Static analysis detects improper dependency injection in FastAPI by scanning the abstract syntax tree to highlight architectural anti-patterns and improper DI usage within your backend codebase.

Does AST analysis work with Async SQLAlchemy and HTTP clients?

AST analysis works with Async SQLAlchemy and HTTP clients by scanning codebases leveraging these libraries to surface blocking calls and architectural issues across data access patterns.

When should I review my FastAPI backend architecture for logic quality gaps?

Review your FastAPI backend architecture for logic quality gaps when preparing to improve throughput and reliability, ensuring no long-running async functions or concurrency risks impact performance.
