What it does

Backend Route is an agent skill from exelearning/exelearning. Add or change Elysia route handlers, validation, authentication or authorization in src/routes/.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication. The repository describes itself as: eXeLearning is an AGPL-licensed free/libre tool to create and publish open educational resources. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Authentication

Example prompts

  • “/backend-route”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 319b5d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Backend Route loads about 449 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Elysia route handlers

Read the affected route, its colocated .spec.ts, its aggregator and src/index.ts. Match the existing prefix, dependency injection, validation and error-response contracts. Use backend-service for shared business logic and api-v1 for external endpoints.

  • Register a new route in its actual aggregator; do not add a second prefix or assume every route is mounted directly in src/index.ts.
  • Reuse existing service/query injection and access checks. Do not introduce a new service layer solely to fit a generic Elysia example, or bypass an existing service with duplicated business rules.
  • Validate untrusted bodies, query parameters, IDs, uploads and paths at the boundary. Authentication and project ownership/collaboration are separate checks; preserve the operation's actual permission.
  • Destructive owner-only operations must reject non-owners without changing resources. Test allowed collaborator operations separately rather than banning collaborators from every endpoint.
  • Test handlers through the existing Elysia app's app.handle(new Request(...)) harness without opening a listening server. Reuse the route's real login/token setup; a made-up cookie or placeholder JWT is not an authenticated test.
  • Cover valid input, invalid input, missing/invalid authentication, insufficient permissions, and relevant service failures. Assert response contracts and unchanged state after denied mutations.

Run bun test src/routes/<affected>.spec.ts, then verify-change. Keep colocated coverage and registration checks; do not add mock.module() to bypass dependencies.
