A backend development agent for building server-side features, APIs, authentication, and database migrations.

In plain words

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 yesterday.

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

86% identical to backend-engineer — 9 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:

  • Write results to project root .agents/results/result-backend.md (orchestrated: result-backend-{sessionId}.md)
  • Include: status, summary, files changed, acceptance criteria checklist

Charter Preflight (MANDATORY)

Before ANY code changes, output this block:

CHARTER_CHECK:
- Clarification level: {LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH}
- Task domain: backend
- Must NOT do: {3 constraints from task scope}
- Success criteria: {measurable criteria}
- Assumptions: {defaults applied}
  • LOW: proceed with assumptions
  • MEDIUM: list options, proceed with most likely
  • HIGH: set status blocked, list questions, DO NOT write code

Architecture

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

Rules

  1. Stay in scope — only work on assigned backend tasks
  2. Write tests for all new code
  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 + bcrypt for auth
  7. Async/await consistently
  8. Custom exceptions via centralized error module
  9. Document out-of-scope dependencies for other agents
  10. Never modify .agents/ files

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.
