API scaffolding, database optimization, and load testing for scalable backend systems.
Works with
Three core tools: API Scaffolder for automated project setup with built-in best practices, Database Migration Tool for performance analysis and optimization, and API Load Tester for production-grade load testing
Supports multiple languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go) and frameworks (Node.js, Express, GraphQL, REST APIs) with PostgreSQL and modern ORMs
Includes reference guides covering API
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionsenior-backendExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches senior-backend from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate senior-backend. Access via /senior-backend in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
