setup-backend-stack

Bootstraps a local Node.js backend development stack with Docker, PostgreSQL, and an ORM (Prisma or Sequelize). Use this skill whenever the user wants to: initialize a new backend project, set up a Dockerized database locally, wire up an ORM with automated migrations, scaffold an Express server with a health endpoint, or repair a broken local dev environment involving Docker + Postgres. Also trigger when the user mentions any of: "set up backend", "docker postgres", "prisma setup", "sequelize setup", "local dev stack", "migrate my database", "scaffold express", or "backend boilerplate". If the user is starting any server-side Node.js project and hasn't mentioned a database setup, proactively suggest this skill.

Use this skill when the user wants to initialize a local development environment using Docker, PostgreSQL, an npm server, and an ORM (Prisma/Sequelize) with automated migration workflows, including detection of existing migration metadata and database readiness checks.
