FastAPI Expert
Skill Verified ActiveUse when building high-performance async Python APIs with FastAPI and Pydantic V2. Invoke to create REST endpoints, define Pydantic models, implement authentication flows, set up async SQLAlchemy database operations, add JWT authentication, build WebSocket endpoints, or generate OpenAPI documentation. Trigger terms: FastAPI, Pydantic, async Python, Python API, REST API Python, SQLAlchemy async, JWT authentication, OpenAPI, Swagger Python.
To guide developers in building robust, high-performance, and secure asynchronous Python APIs using FastAPI and Pydantic V2, covering the full development lifecycle from schema design to deployment.
Features
- Create REST endpoints with FastAPI
- Define Pydantic V2 validation schemas
- Implement JWT authentication and authorization
- Set up async SQLAlchemy database operations
- Build WebSocket endpoints
- Generate OpenAPI documentation
Use Cases
- Building new async Python APIs with FastAPI.
- Refactoring existing APIs to use FastAPI and Pydantic V2.
- Implementing secure authentication flows for Python APIs.
- Setting up robust data validation using Pydantic models.

Python Best Practices
99Python/FastAPI coding standards including async patterns, Pydantic v2, SQLAlchemy 2.0, and project structure. Use when writing Python code, reviewing FastAPI projects, or learning FastAPI conventions.
Google Docs
100Interact with Google Docs - create documents, search by title, read content, and edit text. Use when user asks to: create a Google Doc, find a document, read doc content, add text to a doc, or replace text in a document. Lightweight alternative to full Google Workspace MCP server with standalone OAuth authentication.
Python Api Endpoint Creator
99Creates FastAPI endpoints with layered architecture (Router → Service → Repository). Use when creating new API endpoints, CRUD operations, or scaffolding a new domain module in a FastAPI project.
Pydantic Validation
99Python data validation using type hints and runtime type checking with Pydantic v2's Rust-powered core for high-performance validation in FastAPI, Django, and configuration management.
Sqlalchemy Orm
75SQLAlchemy Python SQL toolkit and ORM with powerful query builder, relationship mapping, and database migrations via Alembic
X Twitter Scraper
100Use when the user needs X (Twitter) data or confirmation-gated X actions through Xquik: tweet search, user lookup, follower extraction, media download, monitoring, webhooks, MCP, SDKs, posting, likes, DMs, and profile updates. Requires a Xquik API key. Never ask for X login material.
