fastapi-development

fastapi-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 46 tokens per session (716 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building Python web APIs with FastAPI, a framework for creating HTTP services. It covers asynchronous routes, input validation, authentication, dependency injection, database integration, and automatic API documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build REST endpoints, microservices, validated request handling, JWT authentication, and OpenAPI or Swagger documentation.
Why use it?
It helps structure modern Python APIs while checking incoming data and generating documentation. It also supports services that need asynchronous request handling.

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

fastapi-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-api.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

FastAPI Development

Table of Contents

Overview

Create fast, modern Python APIs using FastAPI with async/await support, automatic API documentation, type validation using Pydantic, dependency injection, JWT authentication, and SQLAlchemy ORM integration.

When to Use

  • Building high-performance Python REST APIs
  • Creating async API endpoints
  • Implementing automatic OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
  • Leveraging Python type hints for validation
  • Building microservices with async support
  • Integrating Pydantic for data validation

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# main.py
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
import logging

# Setup logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Create FastAPI instance
app = FastAPI(
    title="API Service",
    description="A modern FastAPI application",
    version="1.0.0",
    docs_url="/api/docs",
    openapi_url="/api/openapi.json"
)

# Add CORS middleware
app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["http://localhost:3000"],
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
