Backend Worker

NOTE: Startup and cleanup are handled by worker-base. This skill defines the WORK PROCEDURE.

When to Use This Skill

Features involving Python CLI tools, Python scripting, or data processing. This skill handles:

• CLI command implementation
• API client code
• Data processing and chunking
• Output formatting

Work Procedure

1. Read Context

• Read mission.md to understand feature requirements
• Read existing nim_router.py structure
• Understand current capabilities

2. Write Tests First (TDD)

Create tests/test_<feature>.py with failing tests before implementation.

3. Implement Feature

• Add to appropriate module under scripts/nim_router/
• Follow existing code style
• Add type hints and docstrings

4. Verify

• Run tests: pytest tests/ -v
• Typecheck: python3 -m py_compile
• Manual test with real API if available
