SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Scans a Python FastAPI backend project to extract its architecture, patterns, coding style, and conventions, then generates a self-contained skill that creates new projects from those patterns. It can optionally use Repomix to pack the codebase and outputs a .context/ directory for tool-agnostic compatibility (Cursor, Copilot, etc.).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans a FastAPI codebase to produce two-layer pattern templates (architectural-agnostic + FastAPI-specific).
  • Generates a self-contained Skill that can recreate new projects from extracted patterns.
  • Produces a .context/ directory for Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and other tools to load the patterns.
  • Use cases include turning an existing FastAPI project into a generator/template, codifying coding standards, and creating production-ready templates from real code.

Quick Start

Scan a FastAPI project at /path to extract patterns and generate a reusable project template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn an existing FastAPI project into a reusable template?

Extracting FastAPI architecture generates a two-layer template: architecture-agnostic patterns for general structure and FastAPI-specific implementations for framework details. This separation allows broad reuse while preserving framework conventions.

Can I use the generated FastAPI patterns with Cursor or Copilot?

Yes, the scan outputs a .context/ directory containing tool-agnostic files. Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf can load this context directory to apply extracted FastAPI patterns during code generation.

How do I extract architecture patterns from a large FastAPI backend?

Scanning a large FastAPI backend captures both architecture-agnostic patterns and FastAPI-specific implementations. An optional Repomix packing phase consolidates the codebase, and a validation loop ensures consistency across generated references.

Does the FastAPI pattern generator support projects of varying sizes?

Yes, the scanner works on FastAPI backends of varying sizes. It captures both architecture-agnostic patterns and Python-specific implementation details, scaling to accommodate different project complexities.

What is the best way to codify coding standards from a real FastAPI codebase?

Codifying coding standards involves scanning a real FastAPI codebase to extract conventions and generate a reusable skill. This creates a production-ready template that enforces project-specific architectural and implementation rules.
