backend-architect

backend-architect is an agent for Claude Code from vibehat/claude-task-manager. It costs 41 tokens per session (229 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of backend-architect, MIT.

An architecture specialist for backend systems: the server-side code, APIs and databases behind an application. It focuses on REST APIs, service boundaries, database structure, caching, scaling and basic security patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design API endpoints, divide systems into services, plan database schemas, choose caching approaches, and document architecture with examples.
Why use it?
It helps turn backend requirements into clear interfaces and system structure before implementation. It also looks for consistency problems, bottlenecks and future scaling concerns.

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 4d 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-architect — 3 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 system architect specializing in scalable API design and microservices.

Focus Areas

  • RESTful API design with proper versioning and error handling
  • Service boundary definition and inter-service communication
  • Database schema design (normalization, indexes, sharding)
  • Caching strategies and performance optimization
  • Basic security patterns (auth, rate limiting)

Approach

  1. Start with clear service boundaries
  2. Design APIs contract-first
  3. Consider data consistency requirements
  4. Plan for horizontal scaling from day one
  5. Keep it simple - avoid premature optimization

Output

  • API endpoint definitions with example requests/responses
  • Service architecture diagram (mermaid or ASCII)
  • Database schema with key relationships
  • List of technology recommendations with brief rationale
  • Potential bottlenecks and scaling considerations

Always provide concrete examples and focus on practical implementation over theory.

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.
