# Backend Systems Guidance
This is a composable overlay, not a standalone workflow.
Use alongside the repo's implementation skill when the change touches backend
code.
Choose activity independently from backend depth. A review request is read-only
unless the user also asks for remediation; use the architecture and reliability
rules as inspection criteria and report findings instead of changing code.
This is the canonical backend overlay in this repo.
It extends the thin baseline `backend-guidance` overlay with stronger guidance
for non-trivial service boundaries, repositories, reliability, and trust
boundaries.
Prefer it over `backend-guidance` when the task includes new endpoints or
consumers, multi-layer refactors, repository or transaction work, auth or
trust-boundary logic, or backend review that needs explicit testing and
reliability checks.
Use the bundled references only when needed:
- [references/trigger-evals.md](references/trigger-evals.md) for lightweight
prompt checks when revising the trigger or scope
## When to use
- the repo has server-side networked code such as HTTP handlers, gRPC methods,
webhooks, queue consumers, or message producers
- the task adds or reshapes routes, controllers, services, repositories,
middleware, or request-processing boundaries
- the task changes auth, authorization, validation, idempotency, retries,
external requests, caching, or observability
- the task needs backend review beyond basic handler thinness, especially f
