backend-patterns

backend-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joneqian/claude-skills-suite. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,962 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of backend development guidelines for server-side code, including APIs, databases, and application structure, covering Node.js, Express, NestJS, FastAPI, and Next.js API routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing backend architecture, APIs, database access, validation, authentication, error handling, rate limiting, or framework-specific code.
Why use it?
It helps you make consistent design and implementation choices when building the part of an application that runs on a server.

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

backend-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Backend Development Patterns

Backend architecture patterns and best practices for scalable server-side applications.

Framework-Specific Guidelines

When working with specific frameworks, combine this skill with framework-specific skills:

Framework Additional Skill When to Use
NestJS nestjs-best-practices skill Modules, Controllers, Providers, Guards, Interceptors, Pipes, DI
FastAPI fastapi-templates skill Routes, Decorators, DI, GraphQL, Microservices
Next.js API This skill only Serverless API routes

NestJS Integration

When using NestJS, the patterns in this skill should be adapted to NestJS conventions:

Generic Pattern NestJS Implementation
Repository Pattern Use @Injectable() repositories with DI
Service Layer Use @Injectable() services
Middleware Use NestJS @Injectable() middleware or Guards/Interceptors
Error Handling Use Exception Filters (@Catch())
Validation Use Pipes with class-validator
Auth Middleware Use Guards (@UseGuards())
Rate Limiting Use @nestjs/throttler module

Example - NestJS Repository Pattern:

// NestJS style with dependency injection
@Injectable()
export class MarketRepository {
  constructor(
    @InjectRepository(Market)
    private marketRepo: Repository<Market>,
  ) {}

  async findAll(filters?: MarketFilters): Promise<Market[]> {
    const query = this.marketRepo.createQueryBuilder('market');

    if (filters?.status) {
      query.where('market.status = :status', { status: filters.status });
    }

    return query.getMany();
  }
}

// Inject into service
@Injectable()
export class MarketService {
  constructor(private marketRepo: MarketRepository) {}
}

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.

backend-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository joneqian/claude-skills-suite (32 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 3,962 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
