What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the guesswork and boilerplate work of building Ktor servers by providing standardized, production-ready patterns for common backend development tasks, reducing implementation errors and speeding up project setup.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Project Layout: Pre-defined directory structure for Ktor projects with clear separation of routes, services, repositories, and DI modules.
- Common Plugin Configurations: Ready-to-use setup for JWT authentication, CORS, content negotiation with kotlinx.serialization, and centralized error handling via StatusPages.
- Testing & Dependency Injection: Built-in examples for Koin DI integration and testApplication-based integration testing for routes and services.
Use case: For example, a developer building a user management REST API can use this Skill to quickly scaffold authenticated user routes, set up serialization, and write integration tests without writing repetitive boilerplate code.
Quick Start
Use the kotlin-ktor-patterns skill to scaffold a new Ktor REST API with JWT authentication and Koin dependency injection for your user management service.
