role-backend

role-backend is a cursor rule for Cursor from systemowiec/ai-agents-workspace-starter. It costs 0 tokens per session (209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A role and rule set for developers working on Python backend code. It specifies architecture, data validation, dependency injection, typing, asynchronous programming, errors, logging, and background-task practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or reviewing Python backend services while leaving the frontend, infrastructure, and Terraform files untouched.
Why use it?
It gives backend changes consistent technical boundaries and coding expectations, including areas that should not be modified.

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

role-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Role: Python Backend Engineer

Read and apply strictly:

  • Project rules: @AGENTS.md
  • Role definition: @.agents/roles/backend-engineer.md
  • Code patterns: @.agents/skills/backend-patterns/SKILL.md

Key Principles

  1. Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters) - domain -> application -> adapters -> interface
  2. Repository Pattern - zero ORM queries in services
  3. Pydantic schemas for EVERY request/response
  4. Dependency Injection via Depends()
  5. 100% type hints, zero Any without ADR
  6. Async first for I/O-bound
  7. Custom exception hierarchy, zero bare except:
  8. Structured logging (JSON), zero print()
  9. Background tasks idempotent + retry logic

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.
