What it does

Spine Service is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a new production-ready service from scratch — config management, health checks, graceful shutdown, structured logging. Use when asked to "new service", "scaffold a backend", "bootstrap service", or "create microservice".

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability, Microservices and Containers. It works with Docker. 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 new service
  • Scaffold a backend
  • Bootstrap service
  • Create microservice

Example prompts

  • “new service”
  • “scaffold a backend”
  • “bootstrap service”
  • “/spine-service”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Generate Project Structure
  3. Set Up Database Connection (if needed)
  4. Generate Dockerfile
  5. Add Development Tooling
  6. Present the Service

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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • TodoWrite

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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 Service loads about 804 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~804

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.

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.

Build a New Service

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
bash
ls -a

Check if this is a new directory or an existing project. Identify language preference from existing files, tooling configs (.tool-versions, .node-version, .python-version), or monorepo structure. If no preference is detectable, ask the user.

Step 1: Generate Project Structure

Scaffold a production-ready project with:

  • Config management — environment-based config (env vars with defaults, validation at startup, typed config object). No .env files committed.
  • Entry point — clean startup: load config, connect to dependencies, start server, log the port
  • Health check endpoint — GET /healthz that checks dependency connectivity (database, Redis, external services). Return 200 when healthy, 503 when degraded.
  • Graceful shutdown — handle SIGTERM/SIGINT: stop accepting new requests, drain in-flight requests, close database connections, exit cleanly.
  • Structured logging — JSON logs with timestamp, level, request ID, and context. No console.log or print statements.
  • Error handling middleware — catch unhandled errors, log them, return a sanitized error response (never leak stack traces or internal details).
Step 2: Set Up Database Connection (if needed)

If the service needs a database:

  • Connection pool with configurable size
  • Migration setup (framework-appropriate: Prisma, Alembic, goose, diesel, Flyway)
  • Health check includes database ping
  • Connection retry with backoff on startup
Show full SKILL.md (145 more words)Show less
Step 3: Generate Dockerfile

Create a production Dockerfile:

  • Multi-stage build (build + runtime)
  • Minimal base image, non-root user
  • Health check instruction
  • Proper signal handling (PID 1 / tini if needed)
Step 4: Add Development Tooling

Set up:

  • Linter and formatter configuration
  • docker-compose.yml for local development with backing services
  • .gitignore appropriate for the language
  • Basic Makefile or equivalent with: dev, build, test, lint commands
Step 5: Present the Service

Show the generated project structure and explain:

  • How to run locally (make dev or equivalent)
  • How to run tests
  • What environment variables need to be set
  • What to build next (routes, business logic)

Production-ready skeleton — not a todo app.

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.

What does Spine Service need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Spine Service needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make). Our summary lists: Docker. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion.

Does Spine Service access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Spine Service safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file; pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
