What problem does it solve?
You are building a Python API and need modern async FastAPI structure, validation, and persistence patterns without drifting into outdated sync examples.
Who is it for?
Indie developers shipping typed REST or WebSocket backends where OpenAPI and async database access matter.
Skip if: Tasks unrelated to FastAPI, or projects standardized on another framework with no Python API surface.
When should I use this skill?
Working on FastAPI tasks or workflows; needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for async APIs—avoid when the task is unrelated to FastAPI.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get actionable FastAPI architecture steps, validated endpoint patterns, and verification guidance aligned to production microservice habits.
- API route structure
- Pydantic schemas
- OpenAPI-documented service design

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is fastapi-pro for?
Solo and small-team Python builders implementing async APIs, microservices, or agent backends with FastAPI and modern ORM validation.
When should I use fastapi-pro?
During build backend work when designing routes, Pydantic models, SQLAlchemy layers, WebSockets, or background tasks in FastAPI.
Is fastapi-pro safe to install?
Treat it as community guidance; review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page and validate generated auth, SQL, and dependency code before production.
