python-fastapi-architecture

python-fastapi-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 126 tokens per session (4,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structure guide for FastAPI, a Python framework for building web APIs. It organizes the application into layers, keeping web requests, business rules, and database code separate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan FastAPI folders, routers, dependency injection, domain entities, use cases, database code, and request or response schemas.
Why use it?
It helps prevent routers from becoming overloaded and keeps core business objects independent from FastAPI, data validation, and database libraries.

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

python-fastapi-architecture 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 5d 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.

Python FastAPI Architecture

Purpose

Structure FastAPI applications with Clean Architecture. Pydantic at boundaries only. Domain entities are pure Python dataclasses. FastAPI routers are thin. Dependency injection via Depends.

Agent Protocol

Trigger

Exact user phrases: "FastAPI structure", "FastAPI architecture", "FastAPI folder", "FastAPI clean arch", "FastAPI router", "FastAPI dependency injection", "Python backend structure".

Input Context

Before activating, verify:

  • requirements.txt or pyproject.toml has fastapi dependency.
  • The feature or module being created is known.

Output Artifact

No file output. Produces folder structure and code examples as text.

Response Format

Folder structure:

src/
  main.py
  api/v1/endpoints/
  core/
  domain/
  application/use_cases/
  infrastructure/database/
  schemas/

Code: module-level only. No import statements.

No preamble. No postamble. No explanations. No filler/hedging/transitions. Compress output — why use many token when few do trick.

Completion Criteria

  • src/ directory structure follows Clean Architecture.
  • Domain entities are pure Python (dataclasses). No Pydantic. No SQLAlchemy.
  • Pydantic schemas exist only in src/schemas/ (API boundary).
  • Repository interfaces are ABCs in domain/.
  • Repository implementations use SQLAlchemy in infrastructure/.
  • FastAPI routers use Depends() for DI.
  • One endpoint file per resource in api/v1/endpoints/.

Max Response Length

Folder structure: unlimited. Code: 15 lines per example.

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.

python-fastapi-architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (20 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 4,401 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
