atris-backend

Part of the Atris policy system. Prevents ai-generated backend from being over-engineered.

Atris Integration

This skill uses the Atris workflow:

1. Check atris/MAP.md for existing patterns before building
2. Reference atris/policies/atris-backend.md for full guidance
3. After building, run atris review to validate against this policy

Quick Reference

Naming: avoid data, result, handler, manager, service, utils. names reveal intent.

Abstractions: three concrete examples before you abstract. copy-paste until patterns emerge.

Errors: let errors bubble. include context: what were you doing? what input caused this?

Data Access: no n+1 queries. think about patterns upfront. batch when possible.

API Design: boring and consistent. same patterns everywhere.

Before Shipping Checklist

Run through atris/policies/atris-backend.md "before shipping" section:

• can you explain this in one sentence?
• are abstractions earning their keep?
• do error messages help debugging?
• anything "just in case" you could delete?

Atris Commands

atris            # load workspace context
atris plan       # break down backend task
atris do         # build with step-by-step validation
atris review     # validate against this policy
