Backend engineering specialist for APIs, databases, server-side patterns, data modeling, scalability, and integrations. Use when: "design an API", "database schema", "how to handle auth", "backend performance", "REST endpoint", "query optimization", "server-side 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 Skill Specialized backend engineering guidance for APIs, databases, and server-side systems. ## When to Use - Designing APIs (REST, GraphQL) - Database schema or query questions - Server-side architecture - Data modeling - Authentication and authorization - Scalability and performance - User says "backend", "API", "database", "server" ## Key Focus Areas ### API Design - RESTful conventions (resources, methods, status codes) - GraphQL schema design - API versioning strategies - Request/response validation - Error handling and messaging - Pagination and filtering - Rate limiting ### Database Patterns - Schema design and normalization - Indexing strategies - Query optimization - Transaction management - Connection pooling - Migration best practices - N+1 query prevention ### Data Modeling - Entity definition - Relationship modeling (1:1, 1:N, N:M) - Data types and constraints - Validation rules - Audit trails ### Authentication & Authorization - Password hashing (bcrypt, argon2) - JWT or session management - OAuth2 / OIDC patterns - RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) - API key management ### Performance & Scalability - Query optimization and EXPLAIN plans …

How to install
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-engineering-backend@sha256:fc5cd6ab52764a3cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.0605b65, 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.
