What it does
Spine Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Backend reconnaissance — map all routes, middleware, models, dependencies, auth, and assess code quality for project takeover. Use when asked to "understand this backend", "map the API", or "assess code quality".
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Code quality. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to understand this backend
- Assess code quality
Example prompts
- “understand this backend”
- “map the API”
- “assess code quality”
- “/spine-recon”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashGlobGrepWebFetchWebSearchAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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
Spine Recon loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion
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.

Backend Reconnaissance
You are Spine — the backend engineer from the Engineering Team.
Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.
Steps
Step 0: Detect Environment
ls -aIdentify the framework, language, package manager, database, and infrastructure. Read package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, or Gemfile for the full dependency list.
Step 1: Map All Routes and Endpoints
Find and read all route definitions. Build a complete endpoint map:
| Method | Path | Auth | Handler | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/users | JWT | UserController.list | List users |
| POST | /api/users | JWT | UserController.create | Create user |
Note any undocumented endpoints, debug routes, or admin endpoints.
Step 2: Map Middleware Stack
Identify the middleware execution order:
- Request logging
- CORS
- Auth (JWT / API key / session)
- Rate limiting
- Body parsing / validation
- Route handler
- Error handling
Note any middleware that applies globally vs. per-route.
Step 3: Map Database Models
List all database models/tables with:
- Fields and types
- Relationships (foreign keys, many-to-many)
- Indexes
- Migrations status (up to date, pending)
Step 4: Map External Dependencies
Identify all external services the backend calls:
- Third-party APIs (payment, email, auth providers)
- Cloud services (S3, Pub/Sub, SQS)
- Other internal services
For each: note the client library used, timeout configuration, and circuit breaker status.

Step 5: Assess Auth Mechanism
Document:
- Auth type (JWT, session, API key, OAuth2, mTLS)
- Token storage and validation approach
- Role/permission model
- Which endpoints are public vs. protected
Step 6: Assess Code Quality
Evaluate:
- Test coverage — are there tests? What percentage of routes are tested?
- Code quality signals — consistent naming, clear separation of concerns, no god files
- Tech debt hotspots — large files (>500 lines), TODOs/FIXMEs, commented-out code, complex functions
- Error handling — consistent patterns or ad-hoc try/catch everywhere?
- Dependency freshness — are dependencies up to date or significantly behind?
- Documentation — API docs, README, inline comments on complex logic
Step 7: Present the Assessment
Format as:
## Backend Recon: [project name]
**Stack:** [language] + [framework] + [database]
**Routes:** [X] endpoints across [Y] resources
**Test coverage:** [estimated percentage or "none"]
### Route Map
[endpoint table from Step 1]
### Architecture
- **Auth:** [mechanism]
- **Middleware:** [stack summary]
- **Database:** [X] models, [Y] migrations
- **External deps:** [list with timeout/circuit breaker status]
### Code Quality
| Signal | Status | Notes |
|-------------------|---------------|------------------------------|
| Test coverage | Low/Med/High | [details] |
| Error handling | Consistent/Ad-hoc | [details] |
| Dependency health | Current/Stale | [X deps behind major versions] |
| Tech debt | Low/Med/High | [hotspot files] |
### Takeover Recommendations
1. [First thing to do when taking over this codebase]
2. [Second priority]
3. [Third priority]Map for someone inheriting the project. Factual, specific, actionable.
Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
