senior-backend

senior-backend is a skill for Claude Code from georgekhananaev/claude-skills-vault. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,914 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of senior-backend, MIT.

A backend engineering toolkit for building APIs and services. It includes patterns and scripts for generating routes from API definitions, analyzing database schemas, creating migrations, improving queries, and load-testing endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design REST APIs, generate Express routes, work with PostgreSQL schemas and migrations, secure backend code, or measure API performance under load.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive backend setup and helps reveal API, database, performance, and security problems earlier. It also gives common implementation patterns for service development.

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

senior-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/api_load_tester.py, scripts/api_scaffolder.py, scripts/database_migration_tool.py), 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.

Table of Contents


Quick Start

# Generate API routes from OpenAPI spec
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/

# Analyze database schema and generate migrations
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb --analyze

# Load test an API endpoint
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/users --concurrency 50 --duration 30

Tools Overview

1. API Scaffolder

Generates API route handlers, middleware, and OpenAPI specifications from schema definitions.

Input: OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON) or database schema Output: Route handlers, validation middleware, TypeScript types

Usage:

# Generate Express routes from OpenAPI spec
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/

# Output:
# Generated 12 route handlers in src/routes/
# - GET /users (listUsers)
# - POST /users (createUser)
# - GET /users/{id} (getUser)
# - PUT /users/{id} (updateUser)
# - DELETE /users/{id} (deleteUser)
# ...
# Created validation middleware: src/middleware/validators.ts
# Created TypeScript types: src/types/api.ts

# Generate from database schema
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py --from-db postgres://localhost/mydb --output src/routes/

# Generate OpenAPI spec from existing routes
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py src/routes/ --generate-spec --output openapi.yaml

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.
