cs-backend-review
Backend engineering review — walks the 7 Matt Pocock forcing questions (read/write ratio + QPS, tenancy, sync vs async, data sensitivity, pattern, RPO/RTO, SLO), picks the language + pattern profile, forks into specialists (api-design-reviewer, database-designer, migration-architect, slo-architect). Invokes the cs-backend-engineer agent with context fork.

# /cs-backend-review — Backend engineering review
Use the `cs-backend-engineer` agent (uses `context: fork`) to handle this inquiry:
**$ARGUMENTS**
## Forcing-question library
Canonical source: `engineering-team/skills/senior-backend/references/forcing_questions.md` (7 questions, one-per-turn, recommendation + canon citation per question).
1. Read/write ratio + one-year p99 QPS
2. Tenancy model (single / shared / isolated multi-tenant)
3. Sync request/response vs async (queue) vs event-driven
4. Data sensitivity tier (public / internal / PII / PHI / PCI)
