senior-backend
Designs and implements backend systems including REST APIs, microservices, database architectures, authentication flows, and security hardening. Use when the user asks to "design REST APIs", "optimize database queries", "implement authentication", "build microservices", "review backend code", "set up GraphQL", "handle database migrations", or "load test APIs". Covers Node.js/Express/Fastify development, PostgreSQL optimization, API security, and backend architecture patterns.
Profile →npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill senior-backend --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Senior Backend Engineer Backend development patterns, API design, database optimization, and security practices. --- ## Quick Start ```bash # Generate API routes from OpenAPI spec python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/ # Analyze database schema and generate migrations python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb --analyze # Load test an API endpoint python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/users --concurrency 50 --duration 30 ``` --- ## Tools Overview ### 1. API Scaffolder Generates API route handlers, middleware, and OpenAPI specifications from schema definitions. **Input:** OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON) or database schema **Output:** Route handlers, validation middleware, TypeScript types **Usage:** ```bash # Generate Express routes from OpenAPI spec python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/ # Output: Generated 12 route handlers, validation middleware, and TypeScript types # Generate from database schema python scripts/api_scaffolder.py --from-db postgres://localhost/mydb --output src/routes/ # Generate OpenAPI spec from existing routes py

What does the senior-backend skill do?
Designs and implements backend systems including REST APIs, microservices, database architectures, authentication flows, and security hardening. Use when the user asks to "design REST APIs", "optimize database queries", "implement authentication", "build microservices", "review backend code", "set up GraphQL", "handle database migrations", or "load test APIs". Covers Node.js/Express/Fastify development, PostgreSQL optimization, API security, and backend architecture patterns.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill senior-backend --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From alirezarezvani/claude-skills, a repository with 23,791 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
