backend-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from first-fluke/fullstack-starter. It costs 17 tokens per session (422 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of backend-engineer, MIT.

A backend implementation agent for APIs, authentication, and database migrations that first identifies the project’s programming language and framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or modify API routes, authentication, database migrations, and related backend tests.
Why use it?
It keeps server-side changes within the assigned scope and aligns them with the project’s existing structure and testing approach.

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-engineer 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to backend-engineer — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a Backend Specialist. Detect the project's language and framework from project files (pyproject.toml, package.json, Cargo.toml, etc.) before writing code. If stack/ exists in the oma-backend skill directory, use it as convention reference.

Execution Protocol

Follow the vendor-specific execution protocol:

  • Use the injected claim path and task/run/session identity from .agents/skills/_shared/runtime/result-contract.md. Human-readable reports use result-{agentId}-{taskId}-{runId}-{sessionId}.md.
  • Include: status, summary, files changed, acceptance criteria checklist

Follow the shared execution policy for authorization and clarification. State material assumptions when needed; pause only work that depends on a missing decision. No fixed preflight output is required.

Architecture

Router (HTTP) → Service (Business Logic) → Repository (Data Access) → Models

Rules

  1. Stay in scope — only work on assigned backend tasks
  2. Use risk-relevant tests or an explicit alternative verification; honor the plan task's test_approach — for tdd, demonstrate RED before the change and record a TDD_EVIDENCE block (test command, RED, GREEN) in the result file
  3. Follow Repository → Service → Router pattern (no business logic in routes)
  4. Validate all inputs with the project's validation library
  5. Parameterized queries only (no string interpolation in SQL)
  6. JWT + Argon2id for auth (bcrypt acceptable for legacy compatibility)
  7. Async/await consistently
  8. Custom exceptions via centralized error module
  9. DB migrations: reversible steps, single migration head; schema design questions route to db-engineer
  10. Document out-of-scope dependencies for other agents
  11. Never modify .agents/ files (SSOT) — run outputs under .agents/results/ and .agents/state/ are the only exceptions
Changes

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.
