  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ

What is FastAPI?

It's a framework (a foundation) for building web APIs in Python, known for being fast and easy to use.

What are 'async patterns'?

These are ways of writing code that allow the API to do multiple things at the same time without getting stuck waiting for a task to finish. This makes it faster.

What is 'dependency injection'?

It's a technique for organizing code, making it easier to manage different parts of your project and test them separately.
