- name:
- platform-backend
- description:
- Server-side architecture and security — API design, error handling, validation,
- category:
- backend
- extends:
- core-coding-standards
- status:
- ready
- version:
- 5
Principles
- Throw early with guard clauses — fail fast at the top of functions
- Never swallow errors silently — log or propagate every failure
Rules
See rules index for detailed patterns.
Examples
Positive Trigger
User: "Design error handling and validation strategy for this API endpoint."
Expected behavior: Use platform-backend guidance, follow its workflow, and return actionable output.
Non-Trigger
User: "Create a Tailwind design token scale."
Expected behavior: Do not prioritize platform-backend; choose a more relevant skill or proceed without it.
Troubleshooting
Skill Does Not Trigger
- Error: The skill is not selected when expected.
- Cause: Request wording does not clearly match the description trigger conditions.
- Solution: Rephrase with explicit domain/task keywords from the description and retry.
Guidance Conflicts With Another Skill
- Error: Instructions from multiple skills conflict in one task.
- Cause: Overlapping scope across loaded skills.
- Solution: State which skill is authoritative for the current step and apply that workflow first.
Output Is Too Generic
- Error: Result lacks concrete, actionable detail.
- Cause: Task input omitted context, constraints, or target format.
- Solution: Add specific constraints (environment, scope, format, success criteria) and rerun.
Workflow
- Identify whether the request clearly matches
platform-backendscope and triggers. - Apply the skill rules and referenced guidance to produce a concrete result.
- Validate output quality against constraints; if gaps remain, refine once with explicit assumptions.

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Generate a gallery of design variations for a UI component. Takes an existing component (referenced by name, pasted code, or screenshot) and produces N distinct rendered alternatives in a single comparison page. Use when exploring visual directions, generating mockups, comparing design approaches for a component, creating A/B candidates, or when anyone says "show me options" or "give me variations" for a UI element.

Create custom QA agent personalities for project-specific testing needs. Guided builder that asks about the specialty, tools, and test scenarios, then generates a personality file and registers it in the QA config. Trigger on "create a QA personality", "add a custom test agent", "build a webhook tester", or when the user needs a project-specific QA agent. Also triggered by /qa-create-personality.
