SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Backend development often suffers from inconsistent coding standards when developers skip reviewing project-specific guidelines. This Skill enforces a mandatory pre-development step that loads the relevant backend guidelines into context before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guideline Discovery: Reads .trellis/spec/backend/index.md to map all available backend development guidelines. - Task-Based Loading: Selectively loads guideline files for database work, error handling, logging, or type safety based on the current task. - Use Case: Before implementing a new API endpoint with database access, the Skill directs you to read the database guidelines and error handling standards so your code follows project conventions from the start. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to read the backend development guidelines before starting the backend development task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce coding standards before backend development?▼

Read the backend guideline index at .trellis/spec/backend/index.md first, then load the specific guideline files matching your task, such as database-guidelines.md or error-handling.md, before writing any code.

What backend guidelines should I read before writing database code?▼

Read .trellis/spec/backend/database-guidelines.md for database work. Depending on the task, also review error-handling.md, logging-guidelines.md, and type-safety.md to cover related concerns.

Does this Skill work without a .trellis/spec directory?▼

No. The Skill depends on guideline files located under .trellis/spec/backend/, including index.md and topic-specific markdown files. Without that structure, there are no guidelines to load.

When should backend guidelines be reviewed during development?▼

Review them before writing any backend code, not after. The Skill treats this reading step as mandatory so that coding standards and patterns shape the implementation from the start rather than being retrofitted.
