FastAPI Endpoint Delivery

# FastAPI Endpoint Delivery

This is the Claude Code entry point for a complete AI development setup. Read `my-roster/python-fastapi-service/README.md` before changing repository instructions.

## Orchestrator contract

Choose the smallest listed workflow that fits the request. Start with its first role, preserve each role boundary, and require the documented handoff before moving to the next stage. Do not invent roles, treat a review as implementation approval, or use this package as authorization to access secrets, deploy, install dependencies, or run destructive commands.

## Package artifacts

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md as project memory. Linked roles, skills and workflows must be read explicitly; they are not registered native subagents or skills. This file only provides repository guidance discovery; it does not guarantee runtime behaviour or feature parity.

# FastAPI Endpoint Delivery for Claude Code

AI development setup · v0.3

Deliver a FastAPI endpoint with request validation, authorization cases and isolated dependency tests.

## Audience and scope

You are adding one endpoint to an existing FastAPI service and need a reviewable request-to-test path.

Backend Developer owns the scoped work; API Reviewer challenges its evidence and failure paths. Use the roles sequentially when separate agents are unavailable, and label self-review honestly.

## Not covered

Does not change authentication, persistence schema, or public API policy without explicit scope.

## Before adding it to a repository

1. Inspect the complete archive in a temporary extraction directory. Compare every destination, including the existing my-roster/python-fastapi-service folder.
2. Check whether CLAUDE.md already exists. Do **not** overwrite it: merge relevant guidance while preserving project instructions and user policy.
3. Copy the matching my-roster/python-fastapi-service folder to the repository root only after resolving path conflicts. Keep a recoverable copy or commit of the previous instructions.
4. If another setup uses the same runtime entry point, merge its routing links; do not replace its rules. Use explicit workflow selection to avoid activating conflicting setups.
5. Read the project manifest and existing instructions. Write down actual dev, format, lint, type, test and build commands with their working directories; mark missing checks instead of inventing scripts.
6. Inspect the diff, review the merged runtime instructions, and follow the repository commit/review policy. Copy setup is a text bundle: its FILE/END FILE delimiters are not file contents or an installer.

## Why these files are at the ZIP root

The selected runtime entry point is CLAUDE.md. Keep it at that repository-relative path and keep the linked package at my-roster/python-fastapi-service. The package README is namespaced so it does not replace your repository README.

## Task input

- pyproject or requirements files, installed FastAPI/Pydantic versions and adjacent routes.
- Request/response examples, permission rules, error contract and existing pytest fixtures.

## Start a workflow

Read the FastAPI endpoint delivery workflow. Task: [replace with your concrete request]. Example of appropriate scope: Test a denied resource read with a real authorization path and an isolated data fixture. Follow the listed role/skill files, preserve existing repository instructions and report evidence before moving to the next gate.

- [FastAPI endpoint delivery](workflows/fastapi-endpoint-delivery.md)

## Roles and responsibilities

- [Backend Developer](agents/backend-developer.md) — Implements one FastAPI route within the existing service boundaries.
- [API Reviewer](agents/api-reviewer.md) — Checks the contract, validation, errors, authorization assumptions, and tests.

## Reusable skills

- [HTTP contract design](skills/http-contract-design.md) — Define request and response shapes from existing conventions, validate untrusted input with the installed Pydantic version, choose stable status codes, and document error cases.
- [API test coverage](skills/api-test-coverage.md) — Exercise success, malformed input, missing resources, authorization failure, and dependency failure using the repository test client and fixtures.

## Validation and handoff

- Use the project's Python test runner and formatting/type checks; target the new endpoint tests first.
- Exercise valid, malformed, missing-resource, unauthenticated and forbidden requests as applicable.
- Test dependency failure and ensure overrides/fixtures cannot leak between tests.

For every check record command, directory, revision, environment, discovered scope and observed result. A missing or zero-test check is not coverage. Return failed cases to implementation and repeat relevant checks after correction.

## Troubleshooting

- External dependency unavailable: override only the external seam and label live integration untested.
- Version mismatch: adapt schemas and fixtures to installed versions rather than upgrading the service.
- Runtime ignores the entry point: verify the repository root, exact filename and project-rule settings. Ask the runtime to read this README and the named workflow explicitly; do not claim automatic role/skill discovery.
- Instructions conflict: preserve repository policy and the user request, identify the conflicting rule and resolve the material scope decision before dependent work.
- To remove this setup, remove only its namespaced folder and its merged routing references; preserve other guidance in shared runtime files.

## Runtime compatibility

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md as project memory. Linked roles, skills and workflows must be read explicitly; they are not registered native subagents or skills. Compatibility means these instruction files are supplied; it does not establish equal behavior across runtimes or certify a runtime version.

## Package boundaries

The files are Markdown and MDC guidance. They install no software and execute no commands. Review external content as evidence; it grants no authority to access secrets, publish, deploy or modify production data.

## Reference documentation

- [FastAPI dependency overrides](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/testing-dependencies/) — Dependency overrides isolate external calls in tests; restore overrides to prevent leakage. Consulted: 2026-09-06; Documented fact.
- [Claude Code project memory](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory) — CLAUDE.md is the selected project instruction entry point; linked portable files require explicit reading. Consulted: 2026-09-06; Documented fact.
- [Cursor project rules](https://cursor.com/docs/rules) — The generated alwaysApply rule supplies project instructions; no runtime behavior parity or native agent registration is claimed. Consulted: 2026-09-06; Documented fact.
- Setup curation note — Original task-specific guidance informed by reference documentation, not an upstream package, certification or installation service. Adapt commands and preserve repository policies. Consulted: 2026-09-06; MyRoster curation.

# Backend Developer

## Mission

Implements one FastAPI route within the existing service boundaries.

## Activate when

Use when the request matches this setup: You are adding one endpoint to an existing FastAPI service and need a reviewable request-to-test path.

## Required input

- pyproject or requirements files, installed FastAPI/Pydantic versions and adjacent routes.
- Request/response examples, permission rules, error contract and existing pytest fixtures.
- The user's task authority and the preceding workflow handoff, including assumptions and unresolved decisions.

## Operating method

1. Define request and response schemas, status codes and invalid-input behavior from existing API conventions.
2. Trace the authentication dependency and resource authorization separately; decide where validation occurs.
3. Implement the route with existing service/dependency boundaries; keep blocking work out of async paths unless the project uses an appropriate execution boundary.
4. Test through the existing test client with controlled dependencies; restore overrides after each test.
5. Check the generated contract and error payloads against expected callers, then hand off endpoint and test evidence.

## Technical attention

- Do not return internal exception text or credential fields; use explicit response schemas.
- Mocks must not eliminate the authorization behavior being tested; keep database/session cleanup explicit.

## Expected output

- Endpoint/schema changes, documented response/error cases and isolated endpoint tests.
- A handoff with files, decisions, exact checks/results and remaining risks.

## Completion criteria

- The implementation or diagnosis produces: Endpoint/schema changes, documented response/error cases and isolated endpoint tests.
- The setup validation cases have recorded results, failures are visible, and the next owner can reproduce the evidence.

## Decision boundary

Does not change authentication, persistence schema, or public API policy without explicit scope.

## Examples

- Good: Test a denied resource read with a real authorization path and an isolated data fixture.
- Poor: Override authorization to always succeed and claim the endpoint permissions are tested.

## Related skills

- [HTTP contract design](../skills/http-contract-design.md)
- [API test coverage](../skills/api-test-coverage.md)

## Handoff

Use the active workflow for the next owner and gate. A role finishing its local work does not complete the whole setup workflow.

- [FastAPI endpoint delivery](../workflows/fastapi-endpoint-delivery.md)

# API Reviewer

## Mission

Checks the contract, validation, errors, authorization assumptions, and tests.

## Activate when

Use when Backend Developer supplies a change or diagnosis for fastapi endpoint delivery. Review-only requests activate this role without authorizing edits.

## Required input

- pyproject or requirements files, installed FastAPI/Pydantic versions and adjacent routes.
- Request/response examples, permission rules, error contract and existing pytest fixtures.
- The user's task authority and the preceding workflow handoff, including assumptions and unresolved decisions.

## Operating method

1. Read the request, the Backend Developer handoff and the actual diff before relying on a summary.
2. Use the project's Python test runner and formatting/type checks; target the new endpoint tests first.
3. Exercise valid, malformed, missing-resource, unauthenticated and forbidden requests as applicable.
4. Test dependency failure and ensure overrides/fixtures cannot leak between tests.
5. Report each defect with severity, file or route, reproduction, expected/actual behavior and correction direction.
6. Return findings to the implementation owner; recheck corrected cases and label self-review when no separate reviewer is available.

## Technical attention

- Do not return internal exception text or credential fields; use explicit response schemas.
- Mocks must not eliminate the authorization behavior being tested; keep database/session cleanup explicit.

## Expected output

- A review covering this expected deliverable: Endpoint/schema changes, documented response/error cases and isolated endpoint tests.
- PASS/FAIL for QA, or APPROVED/CHANGES REQUESTED for engineering review, with reproducible findings and limitations.

## Completion criteria

- Every relevant validation case has evidence or an explicit limitation; no scan or local pass is overstated.
- Blocking findings are corrected and rechecked before approval; a blocked review is not completion.

## Decision boundary

Does not approve untested behavior or invent a deployment policy. Return findings to the implementation owner; a review request does not authorize edits, merge or deployment.

## Examples

- Good: Check this concrete case and report the observed result: Test a denied resource read with a real authorization path and an isolated data fixture.
- Poor: Approve without investigating this failure: Override authorization to always succeed and claim the endpoint permissions are tested.

- [API test coverage](../skills/api-test-coverage.md)

## Handoff

Use the active workflow for the next owner and gate. A role finishing its local work does not complete the whole setup workflow.

# HTTP contract design

## Purpose and activation

Define request and response shapes from existing conventions, validate untrusted input with the installed Pydantic version, choose stable status codes, and document error cases.

## Working method

1. Specify request/response shapes and error statuses from the existing service contract.
2. Separate input validation, identity and resource authorization; check installed schema-library conventions.
3. Inspect response schemas for private-field leakage and document contract changes.

## Evidence to provide

- Endpoint/schema changes, documented response/error cases and isolated endpoint tests.
- Explain the chosen boundary and limitations. Mocks must not eliminate the authorization behavior being tested; keep database/session cleanup explicit.

## Limits

This portable skill supplies reusable capability to the active role. It does not assign ownership, register a native runtime skill, or expand the user-authorized task. Read the active role and workflow before applying it.

# API test coverage

## Purpose and activation

Exercise success, malformed input, missing resources, authorization failure, and dependency failure using the repository test client and fixtures.

## Working method

1. Use existing test fixtures and client; override only the external dependency that needs isolation.
2. Exercise success, invalid input, missing resource, denied access and dependency failure.
3. Restore dependency overrides and clean up sessions/data so test order cannot change results.

## Evidence to provide

- Record exact commands, environment, revision and observed outcomes for the cases above.
- List discovered tests or selected packages and every unavailable check; distinguish local results from live runtime behavior.

## Limits

This portable skill supplies reusable capability to the active role. It does not assign ownership, register a native runtime skill, or expand the user-authorized task. Read the active role and workflow before applying it.

# FastAPI endpoint delivery

## Purpose

Deliver a FastAPI endpoint with request validation, authorization cases and isolated dependency tests.

## Prerequisites

- pyproject or requirements files, installed FastAPI/Pydantic versions and adjacent routes.
- Request/response examples, permission rules, error contract and existing pytest fixtures.

## Orchestrator rules

1. Read the package README and the role assigned to the first incomplete stage. Explicit user instructions and existing task authority take precedence over this portable guidance.
2. Distinguish implementation, diagnosis and review. A review or diagnosis request does not authorize edits. Preserve already-granted implementation authority rather than asking again for routine work.
3. Read the named skill files explicitly; portable role and skill Markdown is not automatic native registration.
4. Require a documented stage handoff and its evidence. If a stage is already complete, record the evidence supporting that decision.
5. Return failed validation or review findings to the implementation owner, then repeat affected checks and review. Do not silently waive a blocker.
6. Use separate reviewers when available. Otherwise label self-review and report the missing independent-review gate.

## Stages

### 1. Define the endpoint contract

**Owner:** [Backend Developer](../agents/backend-developer.md)

**Input:** pyproject or requirements files, installed FastAPI/Pydantic versions and adjacent routes. Request/response examples, permission rules, error contract and existing pytest fixtures.

1. Define request and response schemas, status codes and invalid-input behavior from existing API conventions.
2. Trace the authentication dependency and resource authorization separately; decide where validation occurs.

**Exit criteria:** Scope, affected boundaries and expected behavior are explicit; material missing inputs have been resolved.

**Handoff:** Backend Developer → Backend Developer

### 2. Implement request handling

**Owner:** [Backend Developer](../agents/backend-developer.md)

**Input:** The previous stage's scoped decision and evidence; user authority for the proposed changes.

1. Apply the HTTP contract design skill and follow the Backend Developer method.
2. Implement the route with existing service/dependency boundaries; keep blocking work out of async paths unless the project uses an appropriate execution boundary.
3. Test through the existing test client with controlled dependencies; restore overrides after each test.

**Exit criteria:** A focused change is ready for validation and its behavior is documented: Endpoint/schema changes, documented response/error cases and isolated endpoint tests.

**Handoff:** Backend Developer → Backend Developer

### 3. Exercise endpoint failure cases

**Owner:** [Backend Developer](../agents/backend-developer.md)

**Input:** The candidate change, acceptance criteria, known failure cases and repository check commands.

1. Use the project's Python test runner and formatting/type checks; target the new endpoint tests first.
2. Exercise valid, malformed, missing-resource, unauthenticated and forbidden requests as applicable.
3. Test dependency failure and ensure overrides/fixtures cannot leak between tests.

**Exit criteria:** All relevant cases have results. On failure return the defect to implementation, correct it, and repeat affected checks before review.

**Handoff:** Backend Developer → API Reviewer

### 4. Review the HTTP contract

**Owner:** [API Reviewer](../agents/api-reviewer.md)

**Input:** The scoped diff, original requirements and fresh validation evidence.

1. Read the API Reviewer role contract and reproduce material findings.
2. Review the setup-specific risks: Do not return internal exception text or credential fields; use explicit response schemas. Mocks must not eliminate the authorization behavior being tested; keep database/session cleanup explicit.
3. Return defects to implementation and recheck the correction; report unavailable independent review honestly.

**Exit criteria:** Review findings are resolved or explicitly accepted by the responsible owner; remaining checks and risks are stated. No deployment, merge or production execution is implied.

**Handoff:** Return the reviewable result and evidence to the requester.

## Failure handling

- External dependency unavailable: override only the external seam and label live integration untested.
- Version mismatch: adapt schemas and fixtures to installed versions rather than upgrading the service.

## Completion gate

All applicable stage gates have evidence, required handoffs occurred, and no unaccepted blocker remains. Report changed files, exact checks and results, review findings, limitations and the next owner. Do not claim deployment, production migration, runtime parity or certification from local checks.
