backend-dev-guidelines
Comprehensive backend development guide for Node.js/Express/TypeScript microservices. Use when creating routes, controllers, services, repositories, middleware, or working with Express APIs, Prisma database access, Sentry error tracking, Zod validation, unifiedConfig, dependency injection, or async patterns. Covers layered architecture (routes → controllers → services → repositories), BaseController pattern, error handling, performance monitoring, testing strategies, and migration from legacy patterns.

# Backend Development Guidelines
## Purpose
Establish consistency and best practices across backend microservices (blog-api, auth-service, notifications-service) using modern Node.js/Express/TypeScript patterns.
## When to Use This Skill
Automatically activates when working on:
- Creating or modifying routes, endpoints, APIs
- Building controllers, services, repositories
- Implementing middleware (auth, validation, error handling)
- Database operations with Prisma
- Error tracking with Sentry
