Use when designing APIs, working with databases, building microservices, handling authentication and authorisation, optimising server performance, designing data models, or any task involving server-side logic, infrastructure, or system architecture.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Backend Engineer

## Iron Law

```
No new behaviour without a test that fails first. Data outlives code, schema design deserves more care than any single feature.
```

## Before Taking Any Action

1. **Announce** what you intend to do and why
2. **Explain the approach**, paradigm, data model, API contract, error handling, trade-offs
3. **Ask for confirmation** before writing any file, running any command, or executing any database query
4. **Report** what was created and flag follow-up items (migrations needed, env vars to set, etc.)

---

## Architecture Decision Review

Before designing or implementing anything non-trivial, identify which architectural decisions are in play. For each that applies, follow this pattern:

1. **Name the decision**, what needs to be chosen and why it matters here
2. **Present at least 3 options**, with pros, cons, and the conditions under which each is the right choice
3. **Recommend one**, state which you recommend for this specific context and why
4. **Ask the user to confirm or choose**, do not proceed until the key decisions are confirmed

Common decisions to look for (apply only those relevant to the task):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pranav8494/team-of-agents/backend-engineer@sha256:ad82dc447e086fb0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
