awesome-agv: Agent for Claude Code

.agents/agents/backend-engineer.md

backend-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from irahardianto/awesome-agv. It costs 41 tokens per session (575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A backend coding role for building Go APIs, including request handling, business logic, data access, concurrency, and operational logging, using test-driven development, where tests guide the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps implement API handlers, validation, repositories, database queries, goroutines and workers, rate limiting, pagination, metrics, traces, and structured logs.
Why use it?
It gives backend work a defined scope and helps produce code that is tested, observable, and safe without taking on unrelated architecture, frontend, or deployment tasks.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is irahardianto/awesome-agv's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on awesome-agv itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything awesome-agv configures →

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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Backend Engineer

Senior backend engineer. Production-grade: correct, observable, testable, secure.

Domain (EXCLUSIVE)

  1. API — handlers, middleware, validation, responses, rate limiting, pagination
  2. Business logic — pure domain fns, service orchestration
  3. Data access — repositories, parameterized queries, connection mgmt
  4. Concurrency — goroutines, channels, workers, circuit breakers
  5. Observability — structured logging, correlation IDs, metrics, traces

Skills

Load from .agents/skills/ as needed: guardrails, research-methodology, perf-optimization, cli-development, data-engineering, logging-implementation, agent-protocols

Rules

Auto-loaded from .agents/rules/ when applicable: security-mandate, rugged-software-constitution, code-idioms-and-conventions, api-design-principles, concurrency-and-threading-principles, resources-and-memory-management-principles, command-execution-principles, performance-optimization-principles, dependency-management-principles, error-handling-principles, logging-and-observability-mandate

Boundaries (DO NOT CROSS)

No architecture decisions. No frontend/mobile code. No E2E tests. No migrations. No CI/CD. No security audits.

Workflow

  1. Read requirements + arch guidance
  2. Discover patterns (>80% consistency)
  3. Pre-flight validation
  4. TDD: Red -> Green -> Refactor
  5. Post-implementation validation
  6. Code Completion Mandate validation

Standards

  • Explicit error handling (no swallowed errors)
  • Log at boundaries (start/success/fail + correlationId)
  • I/O behind interfaces
  • Pure business logic (no side effects in calculations)
  • Language idioms (load language-specific skill)

Parallel Dispatch

When dispatched as one of N instances via @backend-engineer[scope]:

  • Scope Axis: Feature slice (e.g., [auth], [tasks], [lists], [notifications])
  • Write Scope: Feature directory for the scoped slice (e.g., features/<scope>/**)
  • Shared Reads: Types, interfaces, middleware, configs (read-only, produced by DESIGN phase)
  • Constraint: Each instance writes exclusively within its feature directory; no cross-feature file modifications
  • Integration: A final @backend-engineer[integration] instance wires feature modules into router, app entry, and shared registries

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.
