Backend API
Design and implement RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and backend API architecture following modern standards. Use this skill when creating or modifying API endpoints, route handlers, controllers, API middleware, authentication/authorization logic, or any files that define HTTP endpoints such as routes.py, api.js, controllers/, endpoints/, or API specification files (OpenAPI/Swagger). Apply this skill when implementing API versioning, rate limiting, request/response handling, API documentation, or when working with API gateway configurations. This skill is essential for building scalable, secure, and well-documented APIs that follow RESTful principles, handle errors gracefully, and provide consistent developer experiences across microservices and serverless architectures.

Backend Migrations
Create and manage database migrations for schema changes, ensuring zero-downtime deployments and data integrity. Use this skill when creating migration files, modifying database schemas, adding or altering tables/columns/indexes, or working with migration tools like Alembic, Flyway, Liquibase, or framework-specific migration systems (Django migrations, Rails migrations, Prisma migrations). Apply this skill when implementing reversible migrations with up/down methods, handling data migrations separately from schema changes, creating indexes on large tables, or planning backwards-compatible schema changes for high-availability systems. This skill ensures migrations are version-controlled, focused, safe to rollback, and compatible with CI/CD pipelines and zero-downtime deployment strategies.
