What fastapi-pro does

This skill instructs Claude Code to apply modern Python conventions when building backend services. It prioritizes FastAPI 0.100+ paired with Pydantic V2 and async SQLAlchemy 2.0. The agent structures route parameters with Annotated types and configures connection pools to avoid N+1 query bottlenecks.

Beyond basic REST routes, the skill supports real-time communication via WebSockets. It configures Redis caching alongside background workers like Celery. Production workflows rely on multi-stage Dockerfiles. For monitoring, the setup combines Prometheus metrics with structlog.

Because the skill assumes Pydantic V2 and SQLAlchemy 2.0 async paradigms, applying it to older codebases causes immediate syntax incompatibilities. Detailed architectural patterns also depend on the presence of resources/implementation-playbook.md.

What it helps with

  • architect an async FastAPI service backed by SQLAlchemy 2.0
  • implement JWT authentication with role-based access checks
  • generate multi-stage Dockerfiles and Helm charts for Kubernetes
  • write async integration tests using pytest-asyncio

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build an async FastAPI service with Redis caching and SQLAlchemy 2.0.
  • Implement JWT authentication with refresh token handling.
  • Create a multi-stage Dockerfile and Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment.

What does the fastapi-pro skill do?

It directs Claude Code to produce async-first FastAPI services, enforcing Pydantic V2 data contracts, SQLAlchemy 2.0 session handling, and pytest-asyncio test suites.

Can fastapi-pro be used with Pydantic V1?

The skill specifically targets Pydantic V2 and FastAPI 0.100+. Using it on legacy Pydantic V1 projects will introduce syntax mismatches and schema errors.
