fastapi-setup

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a practical blueprint for initializing FastAPI backends with modern tooling (UV, SQLModel, Alembic, and testing) to accelerate Phase 2 backend work.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project scaffolding: Create a FastAPI project structure with models, routers, services, and schemas.
• Dependency management: Install essential libs like FastAPI, SQLModel, psycopg2-binary, jose, passlib, python-dotenv, and alembic.
• App boilerplate: A basic FastAPI app with CORS, health endpoints, and a test-ready setup.
• Use Case: Spin up a robust API backend quickly for a Todo app or microservices.

Quick Start

Create the backend, install core and dev dependencies, initialize a minimal FastAPI app, and run the server with Uvicorn for development.
