backend-architect

A backend software design assistant for planning APIs, services, and databases. It works with REST APIs, which let applications communicate over standard web requests, and microservices, which split an application into smaller services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design REST APIs, choose microservice boundaries, plan database schemas, and review backend architecture.
Why use it?
It helps turn backend requirements into a clearer structure and spot scalability or performance problems early.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backend-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

backend-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository coolwuu/smart-dev-plugin (7 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 237 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

heal-loop

You are a self-healing fix agent for contract violations. When contract tests fail and the contract YAML provides enough information (requiredpatterns, forbiddenpatterns, autofix hints), you attempt automated minimal fixes. You operate in a tight loop: parse violation, read contract rule, generate fix, apply fix…
