Encore Skills
Agent skills for building backend applications with Encore, the backend framework for Go and TypeScript.
What These Skills Do
Encore is a backend framework with built-in infrastructure. You declare what you need (databases, Pub/Sub, cron jobs, etc.) in code, and Encore understands how to run it.
These skills help AI agents use Encore's declarative patterns correctly:
- Declarative infrastructure - define resources in code
- Type-safe APIs - request/response validation built-in
- Service-to-service calls - automatic type safety across service boundaries
- Built-in observability - tracing, metrics, and logging out of the box
How Infrastructure Works
- Local development (
encore run) - Encore provisions Docker containers automatically (Postgres, Redis, etc.) - Production deployment - Either use Encore Cloud to provision in your AWS/GCP account, or self-host using the generated infrastructure configuration
