atris-backend
Part of the Atris policy system. Prevents ai-generated backend from being over-engineered.
Atris Integration
This skill uses the Atris workflow:
- Check
atris/MAP.mdfor existing patterns before building - Reference
atris/policies/atris-backend.mdfor full guidance - After building, run
atris reviewto validate against this policy
Quick Reference
Naming: avoid data, result, handler, manager, service, utils. names reveal intent.
Abstractions: three concrete examples before you abstract. copy-paste until patterns emerge.
Errors: let errors bubble. include context: what were you doing? what input caused this?
Data Access: no n+1 queries. think about patterns upfront. batch when possible.
API Design: boring and consistent. same patterns everywhere.
Before Shipping Checklist
Run through atris/policies/atris-backend.md "before shipping" section:
- can you explain this in one sentence?
- are abstractions earning their keep?
- do error messages help debugging?
- anything "just in case" you could delete?
Atris Commands
atris # load workspace context
atris plan # break down backend task
atris do # build with step-by-step validation
