An Opus 4.8 setup that reasons about your schema first, then writes endpoints with an integration test for every route before it calls the job done. Built for backend devs who want a Postgres-backed API that actually has test coverage and clean migrations.

Components

Model

  • Claude Opus 4.8

MCP servers

  • postgres
  • github
  • filesystem
  • sentry

Stack

  • NestJS or FastAPI
  • Prisma or SQLAlchemy
  • Vitest or pytest

Subagents

  • schema-designer
  • endpoint-implementer
  • integration-tester

How it works

  • Postgres MCP lets it inspect the live schema before writing handlers
  • schema-designer drafts tables and a reversible migration
  • Each endpoint gets an integration test that hits a real test database
  • Stop hook runs the full suite and a migration dry-run before finishing

Summary

An Opus 4.8 setup that reasons about your schema first, then writes endpoints with an integration test for every route before it calls the job done. Built for backend devs who want a Postgres-backed API that actually has test coverage and clean migrations.
