bff-design is a Design patterns & component architecture skill for AI agents, published by citypaul in the .dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates bff-design D (67/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Decide whether a system needs a backend-for-frontend, how many, and what each one may own: adoption signals and honest costs, one-experience-one-BFF granularity with frontend-team ownership, the shape-don't-decide rule, upstream aggregation with partial-failure and resilience budgets, identity-keyed BFF caching, mediating user identity toward upstream services (token exchange, confused-deputy prevention), and the alternatives (shared gateway, GraphQL federation, token-mediating backend, direct SPA→API, meta-framework server as BFF). Use when adopting or splitting BFFs, aggregating upstream services, handling upstream failures, forwarding user identity downstream, weighing GraphQL against per-client BFFs, or auditing a BFF that has drifted into a public API or a business-logic layer. For protecting the BFF's own entry points use bff-entry-points; for physical route layout use structure-codebase; for externally consumed API contracts use api-design; for OAuth/OIDC protocol flows use…
