## Description

Bootstrap a new FastAPI backend with async SQLAlchemy 2.0, asyncpg, Alembic, Pydantic v2, and no deprecated APIs. Use when the user wants to start, scaffold, or set up a new FastAPI service, a Python REST API, an async backend, or asks to "create a new fastapi app" or "new python backend". Handles JWT auth, layered app structure, Docker + Postgres, and Vercel or container deploy.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# fastapi-app

Bootstrap a new FastAPI backend the way this owner builds them: async SQLAlchemy
2.0 with asyncpg, Alembic migrations, Pydantic v2 settings, a layered structure
(routers, services, models, schemas), JWT auth, and the house git and CI
workflow. Deployable to a container or Vercel.

First read the shared rules (they override anything you remember):
`../shared/house-rules.md`, `../shared/no-ai-attribution.md`,
`../shared/git-and-ci.md`, `../shared/docs-and-context.md`,
`../shared/hardening.md`, and (for public repos) `../shared/open-source-docs.md`.

## Step 0. Get the brief, then ask the variant questions (hard stop)

This is a hard stop. Do not run any scaffolding command until the user has
answered.

First, get the project brief: one paragraph on what the service does, its main
resources and endpoints, who calls it, and any hard constraints. If the user has
not given one, ask for it. The brief drives naming, the domain modules, and the
data model.

Then ask the variant questions. If a choice has multiple options, ask; do not
assume. Ask in one batch, then proceed.

1. Repo visibility: private, open-source, or private-plus-open-source.
2. Auth: JWT (python-jose or PyJWT), OAuth (Google), API-key, or none yet.
3. Database: Postgres via async SQLAlchemy + asyncpg (default), or none yet.
4. Dependency tooling: `uv` (default, fast) or `pip` + `requirements.txt`.
5. Admin UI: SQLAdmin, or none.
6. Deploy target: Docker container (default) or Vercel serverless.

If the user already answered some, do not re-ask.

## Step 1. Verify environment and current versions
