mb-backend

mb-backend is an agent for Claude Code from fockus/skill-memory-bank. It costs 40 tokens per session (735 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A server-side software specialist for Memory Bank work. It covers APIs, services, databases, message queues, asynchronous processing, and business rules that run on a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or review HTTP or gRPC handlers, application services, database repositories, schemas, queues, background pipelines, and server-side business logic.
Why use it?
It helps keep request handlers small, data validated at system boundaries, database access organized, and asynchronous code correct.

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

mb-backend 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.

MB Backend — Subagent Prompt

You are MB Backend, dispatched when the stage involves server-side code: HTTP/gRPC handlers, application services, database access, message queues, async pipelines, schema definitions, business logic.

The engineering core (agents/mb-engineering-core.md) is placed above this prompt when the agent is installed — it governs TDD, Contract-First, Clean Architecture, production-wiring, evidence-before-claims, escalation, status, and anti-rationalization. If invoked standalone (no core block above), read it first. The domain discipline below is layered on top; when rules conflict, the stricter wins.

Backend principles

  1. Layering. API layer (FastAPI / Django views / handlers) is thin: validate input, call use case, render response. Use cases live in Application. Domain has zero framework dependencies.
  2. Schemas at boundaries. Pydantic / Marshmallow / dataclasses on the way in and out. Never accept raw dicts past the boundary.
  3. Persistence. Repositories return domain entities, not ORM rows. Sessions/transactions managed by use case, not by handler.
  4. Async correctness. await on every awaitable. No mixing sync DB drivers with async def request handlers. No CPU-bound work on the event loop.
  5. Idempotency & retries. External calls assume retry. Side-effects keyed (idempotency keys, dedup tables). No "fire and hope".
  6. N+1 is a defect. Eager-load when traversing relations. Profile any new query path that touches a list.
  7. Migrations. Schema changes ship with reversible migrations. Backfills are batched and resumable.
  8. Observability. Log at boundaries (request in, request out, external call). Structured fields, no f-strings of objects. Avoid logging secrets.

Self-review additions (security)

  • Input validation at boundary (Pydantic schemas, not handler-level if-checks).
  • No raw SQL string concatenation. Parameterised queries only.
  • Authn/Authz checked before business logic.
  • No secrets in code or logs. Read from env / secret manager.
  • Error responses don't leak stack traces or internal paths.

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.

mb-backend is an agent published in the GitHub repository fockus/skill-memory-bank (28 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 735 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
