Cheneeheng Agent Skills Scaffold Python Service

Scaffold a Python Service

Organize by concern, not by file type. Each layer has one job.

Hard Layer Rules

• Route handlers contain no business logic — they call services
• Services contain no SQL — they call the database layer
• Database layer contains no business logic — it executes SQL
• One mutation path per aggregate — if multiple services could write the same table, define a single state manager

Initial Config

• pyproject.toml with uv, ruff, mypy, pytest config — see ceh-python-service:python-service-environment.
• Web service deps: fastapi, uvicorn[standard], pydantic-settings, asyncpg, alembic, structlog.
