backend

backend is a skill for Claude Code from telagod/code-abyss. It costs 99 tokens per session (431 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for making server-side engineering decisions about programming languages, databases, queues, APIs, data models, architecture, security, and operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing a backend stack, designing services or schemas, planning migrations, reviewing business logic, or preparing a system to run reliably.
Why use it?
It helps evaluate backend choices and exposes design risks before they become production problems.

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 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Backend — stack, logic, data, operations, rot

Rule content lives in the five files below; this SKILL.md only routes (doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).

Route by moment

You are about to… Read (in this folder)
Pick a language / framework / DB / queue / architecture, or judge a stack proposal stack.md
Design or review a service, module, API, or piece of business logic logic.md
Design a schema, transaction, migration, or cache data.md
Ship to production — observability, config, failure modes, security, jobs, limits operate.md
Review existing code, plan a refactor, or explain why a codebase feels dangerous rot.md

Starting a new system usually means stack.md → logic.md → data.md, in that order: stack only after the scenario interrogation, endpoints only after the data model.

Scope and neighbors

Server-side engineering judgment only. Whether to delegate and when to escalate → doctrine; how to investigate/verify anything → methods; the visual/UI layer → frontend.

The stance

The one test governing the whole bundle is logic.md's opening line — is change still cheap and safe — and rot.md's opening defines the failure mode and the ugly-but-safe tiebreak. Read those two openings before judging any backend.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
