truestack-backend-development

truestack-backend-development is a skill for Claude Code from adtn0810/truestack. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,355 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for building backend code and choosing a suitable technology stack for a project. Backend code runs on servers and handles APIs, databases, and other application logic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing server, API, and data-layer code, selecting languages or frameworks, and choosing databases. It does not own new architecture planning or database migrations.
Why use it?
It helps implement server-side features with attention to the existing project, stable operation, data safety, and the correct handling of external actions.

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

truestack-backend-development 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 10d 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.

truestack-backend-development

Recommend the best stack for this project, then write code that is accurate under load and won't take down a self-hosted VPS. Accuracy and stability beat cleverness.

Read project memory first — CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded (Principles + Boundaries); consult .ai/memory/ for stack, commands, and conventions. Respect the Ask-first / Never boundaries. If none exists, run truestack-project-memory.

For a real external action — DB write, vector search, payment, webhook, third-party API — go through truestack-mcp-integration rather than hand-rolling the call: it carries the untrusted-data boundary, the money/destructive Ask-first gate, idempotency, and the verify-the-effect rule.

If the request is ambiguous — more than one reasonable implementation fits — clarify first with a short, capped round of questions-with-defaults before writing code; don't guess. (Same clarify-then-proceed loop as truestack-architecture-planning.) Seams: planning a new build starts in truestack-architecture-planning; authoring schema/data migrations (DDL, backfills) is truestack-database-migrations, not here.

1. Stack — match the project, recommend only for greenfield

Before recommending or using a library/framework/API, ground it in current docs — auto-research the version, API surface, and any advisory from authoritative sources (context7 / official docs) rather than trusting recall (per the always-on contract). Existing repo: use the language/framework already in use (from memory) — don't switch it. Greenfield: recommend with a one-paragraph justification tied to accuracy, performance, and the single-server constraint:

  • Node / Express (or Fastify) + TypeScript — I/O-bound APIs, shared types.
  • .NET / ASP.NET Core — typed, high-throughput services with a strong EF Core data layer.
  • Python / FastAPI — async APIs, data/ML-leaning work.
  • Database — Postgres by default for correctness; SQLite for small single-node apps; Redis as cache/queue, not source of truth.
