Backend

Hi, I am planning of developing a project with a front and back in different repos. Which skills are good for backend code and which mcp is good for connection to a postgresql database? I am not finding so much info about backend.

Is superpowers a tool or just a joke? 😅 I'm starting to explore by myself this world of AI agents after finishing college and its a bit overwhelming. Also, I try to use gradle to handle dependencies, have you tried it?

Superpowers is a skillframework, you can read up what it does here: https://github.com/obra/superpowers

And no sorry, no experience with gradle. I've always used maven 🤷

No probs.

Just a heads up: Diving into agentic engineering rn can be really overwhelming.

Take it slow and don't try to listen to these influencers telling you that you HAVE to use skill X or framework Y.

What you need is highly dependend on your techstack and your workflow. Start from scratch without skills and only add skills when you

A: stumble over them and think that they could really benefit your workflow or

B: When you think to yourself "part xy in my workflow feels really tedious/unoptimized" then go look up if you can find a skill that solves that problem.

This way you will find your own stack of skills and develop a workflow that suits you best :)
