Read-only audit AND decision advisor for backend/distributed-systems architecture, topology-gated so a Next.js/Supabase monolith and a Kubernetes fleet each see only relevant findings. Reports which patterns are present (maturity matrix, file:line), then — following "start simple, earn every pattern" — recommends which to adopt now, adopt-when-[trigger], or defer as premature, flagging over-engineering and the distributed-monolith anti-pattern. Covers sync request/response vs event-driven, cache-aside, database-per-service, API gateway, BFF, circuit breaker, bulkhead, outbox + CDC, saga, CQRS, hexagonal, strangler-fig, service mesh, cell-based, mTLS, tracing + SLOs, contract testing. Use when "audit backend architecture", "which pattern should I use", "am I over-engineering", "sync vs event-driven", "cache-aside/CQRS/saga/db-per-service", "microservices resilience review", or "audit-backend-architecture". Defers per-call resilience to audit-resilience; fixes via backend-patterns.

From the source SKILL.md

Agents ship the happy-path CRUD and call it done. What decides whether a backend survives scale is the architecture: is there one place that enforces auth/rate-limit/CORS, or is it copy-pasted per route? Does a payment write and its event commit atomically, or can one succeed while the other fails (the dual-write problem)? Does a slow dependency trip a breaker and stay in its own resource pool, or does it exhaust the shared thread/connection pool and take everything down?

What this skill does

Audit Backend Architecture is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the backend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/audit-backend-architecture/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when "audit backend architecture", "which pattern should I use", "am I over-engineering", "sync vs event-driven", "cache-aside/CQRS/saga/db-per-service", "microservices resilience review", or "audit-backend-architecture". Defers per-call resilience to audit-resilience; fixes via backend-patterns.

Who uses this skill

The Audit Backend Architecture Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Audit Backend Architecture Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/audit-backend-architecture/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Audit Backend Architecture skill do?
Read-only audit AND decision advisor for backend/distributed-systems architecture, topology-gated so a Next.js/Supabase monolith and a Kubernetes fleet each see only relevant findings.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Audit Backend Architecture skill?
Use Audit Backend Architecture when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the backend area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Audit Backend Architecture" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Audit Backend Architecture skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Audit Backend Architecture is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
