Documentation

README

Excerpt

Conventional Commits

When creating any git commit in this repository, follow the project's commit convention. Unlike the /commit command (which the user invokes explicitly), this skill applies automatically whenever a commit message is being authored.

Format

Single-line, when a GitHub issue applies:

<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name> - <description>.

Single-line, when no GitHub issue applies:

<type>: <description>.

Multiline, when the change spans multiple concerns:

<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name>:
- <description_line_1>.
- <description_line_2>.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Backend Patterns

Backend Patterns covers backend architecture patterns, API design, database optimization, and server-side best practices for Node.js, Express, and Next.js API routes. Use when building or reviewing Node.js, Express, or Next.js API routes and their data access.

API Connector Builder

API Connector Builder builds a new API connector or provider by matching an existing integration pattern in the codebase exactly. Use it when adding a new integration to a project without introducing a second architecture.

Migration

Migration implements reversible compatibility-safe transitions for schema, data, API, protocol, configuration, or dependency changes. Use it when rollback and preservation proof are required.
