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
