paw-services-layer

paw-services-layer is a skill for Codex from keodubo/PAW-Wiki. It costs 53 tokens per session (620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for writing and checking the service layer of a PAW Forkd application. The service layer contains business rules and coordinates database work, emails, scheduled jobs, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, changing, or reviewing service methods, transactions, scheduled jobs, email handling, or service-layer tests.
Why use it?
It helps keep business decisions in one place and prevents web-page, database, and framework details from being mixed into that logic.

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

paw-services-layer 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.

Paw Services Layer

Overview

Use this for services/: business use cases, transactions, mail, schedulers, and service tests.

Read references/layer-rules.md before changing services.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the service contract, implementation, DAO contracts, and existing tests for the use case.
  2. Resolve stage: TP1 services orchestrate JDBC DAOs; TP2 services may receive managed JPA entities but must not depend on ORM APIs; TP final services back REST resources and SPA flows.
  3. Put business decisions in one service method that controllers/resources can call once.
  4. Annotate public service methods with @Transactional; selectors use @Transactional(readOnly = true).
  5. Let services create/update domain models and orchestrate DAOs.
  6. In TP final, return domain/use-case results and enforce business invariants; REST resources map those results to DTOs, status codes, headers, and Problem Details.
  7. Keep JSP paths, request objects, controller redirects, JAX-RS Response, UriInfo, media types, CORS/cache headers, SQL, EntityManager, auth transport details, and frontend state out of services.
  8. Add tests that assert returned state, database-observable side effects, or fake/recorded mail behavior.

Business Rules

  • Use DAOs for persistence; do not join/filter persisted datasets in Java.
  • Do not depend on LocaleContextHolder for recipient mail language; use the recipient preference/locale.
  • Scheduler jobs delegate into transactional service methods.
  • Avoid transactional self-invocation (this.otherMethod() expecting proxy behavior).
  • In TP2, avoid relying on lazy loading side effects outside clear transaction boundaries.
  • Do not put @Transactional on mail-only async classes unless they use DB state deliberately.
  • Authorization and ownership should be declarative in web security when it is route access; services can enforce domain invariants that are not route permissions.
  • REST resources own HTTP mapping; services should not mint Location/Link/ETag, Problem Details, CORS headers, or frontend tokens.

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.
