Front matter
From the READMEEncore Skills
Agent skills for building backend applications with Encore (opens in a new tab), 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 (opens in a new tab) to provision in your AWS/GCP account, or self-host using the generated infrastructure configuration

How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/encoredev/skills, branch
main, last pushed 15 May 2026. - Licence
- Apache-2.0 — the text of every chapter is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 28 chapters found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed:encore/*/SKILL.md. - Issue colours
- Resolved from a deterministic hash of the owner name. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “11 headings” from h1 to h2 so the chapter title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- 28 editorial notes across 28 of 28 chapters. They are printed in the margin of each chapter rather than as errors here.
- Encore API — 1 note
- Encore Auth — 1 note
- Encore Bucket — 1 note
- Encore Cache — 1 note
- Encore Code Review — 1 note
- Encore Cron — 1 note
- Encore Database — 1 note
- Encore Frontend — 1 note
- Encore Getting Started — 1 note
- Encore Go API — 1 note
- Images
- Images inside a chapter come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Marketplace
- A plugin manifest is published at
.claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonby Encore, declaring 1 plugin. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree. - Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/encoredev/skills.md, and each chapter at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
