About backend-dev-guidelines

backend-dev-guidelines
You are a senior backend engineer operating production-grade services under
backend-dev-guidelines is an agent skill that sets the rules for writing backend code in Node.js, Express and TypeScript microservices. It is written as requirements, not suggestions. The approach is a layered architecture, explicit error boundaries, strong typing and validation, centralised configuration and first-class observability, so that services are predictable, observable and maintainable. The skill begins with a Backend Feasibility and Risk Index to assess a change before it is built. Use it when you are writing or reviewing routes, controllers and services in a production Node.js backend, and you want the code to follow a consistent structure with clear error handling and logging. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,800 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill backend-dev-guidelines.
