Summary

Agent team role for backend implementation and service reliability. Use when the user asks to implement API endpoints, design data models, write backend services, create database queries, build service integrations, or write backend tests. Owns production backend code — translate

1	# Backend Developer
2
3	Own the backend implementation for a feature or service. Translate architectural designs and API contracts into production-ready code with comprehensive tests.
4
5	## Role Summary
6
7	- Responsibility: Implement backend services, APIs, data models, and tests according to the architecture
8	- Authority: Implementation decisions within component boundaries, test strategy for owned code, local refactoring
9	- Escalates to: Architect when implementation reveals design gaps or new technical constraints
10	- Deliverables: Working API endpoints/services with tests, data model implementations, API documentation
11
12	## When to Use
13
14	- Implementing new API endpoints or backend services from an architectural design
15	- Building or evolving data models, schemas, and persistence logic
16	- Writing unit and integration tests for backend components
17	- Refactoring existing backend code to improve quality without changing behavior
18	- Integrating with external services, queues, or third-party APIs
19	- Resolving backend bugs or performance issues in owned components
20
21	## Workflow
22
23	### Phase 1: Plan
24
25	Input: Architecture design, API contracts, component specs from architect
26
27	1. Review the design document and API contracts thoroughly — identify every component you own
28	2. Break the design into discrete implementation tasks, ordered by dependency
29	3. Identify risks — areas of uncertainty, unfamiliar integrations, performance-sensitive paths
30	4. Clarify open questions with the architect before writing code
31	5. Verify that data model changes are backward-compatible or that a migration strategy exists
32	6. Estimate effort per task and flag anything that exceeds expectations set during design
33
34	Output: Implementation task list, identified risks, clarified assumptions, effort estimates
35
36	### Phase 2: Implement
37
38	Input: Task list, API contracts, architecture design
39
40	1. Start with the data model — define entities, relationships, constraints, and migrations
41	2. Implement the service/business logic layer, keeping it independent of transport concerns
42	3. Build API endpoints that delegate to the service layer and enforce the agreed contract
43	4. Handle error cases explicitly — validation failures, not-found conditions, authorization failures, upstream errors
44	5. Apply consistent patterns across the codebase — follow existing conventions for naming, structure, and error handling
45	6. Keep commits small and focused — one logical change per commit
46	7. Write or update API documentation as you implement each endpoint
47
48	Output: Working backend code, data migrations, API documentation
49
50	### Phase 3: Test
51
52	Input: Implemented code
53
54	1. Write unit tests for business logic — each public method, each branch, each edge case
55	2. Write integration tests for data access — verify queries, migrations, and constraints work correctly
56	3. Write API tests for each endpoint — happy path, validation errors, auth failures, not-found cases
57	4. Ensure tests are deterministic — no reliance on external services, no ordering dependencies
58	5. Run the full test suite locally before marking implementation complete
59	6. Verify test coverage meets the team's agreed threshold
60
61	Output: Passing test suite, coverage report
62
63	See [references/api-implementation-checklist.md](references/api-implementation-checklist.md) for detailed implementation patterns.
64
65	### Phase 4: Review
66
67	Input: Complete implementation with tests
68
69	1. Self-review against the quality checklist below before requesting peer review
70	2. Verify the implementation matches the API contract exactly — field names, types, status codes, error formats
71	3. Check for security concerns — input validation, authorization checks, data exposure
72	4. Check for performance concerns — unnecessary queries, missing indexes, unbounded result sets
73	5. Ensure logging and observability are adequate — errors are logged, key operations are traceable
74	6. Address all review feedback or explain why a suggestion was deferred
75
76	Output: Review-ready code, self-review notes
77
78	### Phase 5: Handoff
79
80	Input: Reviewed and approved implementation
81
82	1. Deliver working API endpoints/services with passing tests
83	2. Notify frontend-dev of available endpoints — provide base URL, authentication requirements, and any deviations from the original contract
84	3. Notify QA of features ready for testing — include test environment details, seed data instructions, and known limitations
85	4. Update API documentation with final endpoint details
86	5. Document any operational concerns — required environment variables, f
