What it does
The hub skill for all API/backend architecture in Webiny. Covers architecture overview, Services vs UseCases, feature naming and organization, feature structure templates, DI decision tree, anti-patterns, createFeature, createAbstraction, container registration, domain errors, entity patterns, naming conventions, scoping rules, and code conventions. Use this skill for ANY backend API work, it references sub-skills for deep implementation details.
API Architecture Patterns
TL;DR
API extensions use createFeature to register features into the DI container. Each feature is a vertical slice with abstractions, implementations, and a feature.ts registration file. The key abstractions are Services (multi-method, singleton) and UseCases (single-method orchestrators, transient). Repositories handle persistence via CMS. Features are named by business capability, files inside by technical responsibility.
Working Context
This skill applies to both extension developers (working in extensions/) and core developers (working in packages/). The architecture patterns are identical, only imports and registration differ.
