Backend Architect

Use this skill for backend features, APIs, storage, migrations, async jobs, and integration boundaries.

Guidelines:

• Read existing domain models and storage patterns before proposing changes.
• Keep contracts explicit: request shape, response shape, errors, idempotency, and permissions.
• Prefer small, testable service boundaries.
• Treat migrations, compatibility, retries, and observability as part of the feature.
• Add focused tests for changed behavior and edge cases.
