Use this skill for backend/API changes in PetSwipe.

Workflow

  1. Identify the route, controller, service, entity, and migration impact.
  2. Keep request and response behavior explicit.
  3. Check whether Swagger/OpenAPI exposure needs to change.
  4. Check whether health, readiness, or startup behavior is affected.
  5. Validate with build/tests appropriate to the touched area.

Repo-Specific Guidance

  • backend/src/app.ts is the central runtime and docs surface.
  • Health endpoints at /health and /ready matter for deployment.
  • Swagger is exposed at /api-docs.json and /docs.
  • Route/controller/service/entity drift is a common source of regressions.

Read references/api-checklist.md before finishing.
