Backend Design Skills — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Backend Design Skills (Plugin) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A Claude Code skill that brings expert, principle-driven guidance for backend system design directly into your coding sessions. Whenever you ask about architecture, API design, service decomposition, domain modeling, or code structure, Claude consults this skill before answering — so the advice you get is grounded in widely accepted industry principles rather than ad-hoc opinions.
The backend-design skill teaches Claude to apply the following Golden Principles to your backend questions:
| Principle | Scope | Core Idea |
|---|---|---|
| S.O.L.I.D | Class / Module | OOP design rules for maintainable code |
| DRY | Any level | Eliminate duplication |
| KISS | Any level | Prefer simplicity |
| YAGNI | Feature level | Don't build what you don't need yet |
| Clean Architecture | Application | Decouple business logic from infrastructure |
| Domain-Driven Design | Domain | Model software around the business domain |
| Microservices | System | Decompose by business capability |
| 12-Factor App | Deployment | Build portable, scalable cloud services |
Deep-dive reference material for S.O.L.I.D, DDD, Microservices, Clean Architecture, and API Design lives under skills/backend-design/references/ and is loaded on demand.
The skill is automatically consulted when your question touches on:
Inside Claude Code, add this repository as a marketplace and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add bhrajate/backend-design-skills
/plugin install backend-design@backend-design-skillsOther useful commands:
/plugin marketplace list # list installed marketplaces
/plugin marketplace update # pull latest plugin definitions
/plugin marketplace remove <name> # remove a marketplacegit clone [email protected]:bhrajate/backend-design-skills.git backend-design-skillsThen in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add ./backend-design-skills
/plugin install backend-design@backend-design-skillsCopy the skill directory into your user-level skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/backend-design ~/.claude/skills/Claude Code discovers skills under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md automatically — restart your session and the skill is live.
After installing, ask Claude a design question such as:
"How should I split my monolith into services?"
Claude should reference the backend-design skill and ground its answer in the relevant principles (YAGNI, DDD bounded contexts, etc.).
