How does this skill help with backend development?

It provides standardized patterns for SOLID, Hexagonal architecture, and DDD, ensuring your code is modular, testable, and decoupled from external frameworks or databases.

Is this skill specific to Python and FastAPI?

While the code examples and hooks are optimized for Python and FastAPI, the underlying architectural principles and validation logic are applicable to most backend systems.

What are the validation hooks included in this skill?

The skill includes a backend-layer-validator and an import-direction-enforcer that automatically run after file edits to ensure infrastructure code never leaks into your core domain logic.

Can I use this skill to refactor existing code?

Yes, it is designed to help identify architectural anti-patterns in existing codebases and provide the structural blueprints needed to refactor toward a cleaner, more maintainable state.

API Development

Implements SOLID principles, hexagonal architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns for building maintainable and testable backends.

The Clean Architecture skill empowers developers to build production-grade, decoupled backend systems by enforcing strict architectural boundaries and best practices. It provides structured guidance on SOLID principles, Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) architecture, and DDD tactical patterns like entities and aggregate roots, specifically optimized for Python and FastAPI environments. By leveraging automated validation hooks, it prevents common anti-patterns such as infrastructure leakage into the domain layer, ensuring long-term code maintainability and superior testability.
