# Backend Core — Canonical

> Canonical core skill. Detailed rules: `skills/backend/SKILL.md`.
> Global behavior: `AGENTS.md`. Index: `SKILLS.md`.

## When to load

Every backend implementation task. Load before any domain skill.

## Core rules (summary — details in `skills/backend/SKILL.md`)

- Layering: `controller/api/* → service/* → serviceImpl/* → repository/*` and/or `mybatis/*`; MapStruct at transport boundary.
- Controllers never call `EntityManager` / `JdbcTemplate` / `VectorStore` directly (AI `*Tool.java` is the documented exception).
- Services own transactions; DB transactions do not roll back filesystem/vector/email/remote effects.
- JPA for CRUD + specifications + simple lookups; MyBatis + `vo/Paging` for join/paging DTO projections; no new MyBatis writes.
- Preserve legacy spellings: `serviceImpl`, `DevelopmentContoller`, `/api/faceRegconition`, `AiFaceRegconitionServiceClient`.
- Constructor injection (`@RequiredArgsConstructor`); Log4j2/`@Slf4j` only; typed `@ConfigurationProperties` for new config groups.
- When creating a standard CRUD service/repository, read `docs/agent/STANDARD_CRUD_SERVICE_REPOSITORY.md` first.

## Routing

After this file, load only the relevant domain skill(s) per `AGENTS.md §6`:
