# Background Worker Creator

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for background worker creator tasks within the Backend Development domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "background worker creator" in your request
- Ask about background worker creator patterns or best practices
- Need help with backend skills covering node.js, python, go, database design, caching, messaging, and microservices architecture.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for background worker creator
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

## Examples

**Example: Basic Usage**
Request: "Help me with background worker creator"
Result: Provides step-by-step guidance and generates appropriate configurations


## Prerequisites

- Relevant development environment configured
- Access to necessary tools and services
- Basic understanding of backend development concepts


## Output

- Generated configurations and code
- Best practice recommendations
- Validation results


## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Configuration invalid | Missing required fields | Check documentation for required parameters |
| Tool not found | Dependency not installed | Install required tools per prerequisites |
| Permission denied | Insufficient access | Verify credentials and permissions |


## Resources

- Official documentation for related tools

Overview

This skill automates creation and guidance for background worker implementations in backend systems. It focuses on practical, production-ready code, configurations, and patterns across Python, Node.js, and Go. Use it to design resilient, observable, and maintainable background processing pipelines.

How this skill works

The skill inspects your requirements and environment, then provides step-by-step guidance: scaffold workers, recommend libraries, produce example code, and generate deployment/configuration snippets. It validates outputs against common standards (retries, idempotency, health checks, metrics) and highlights required permissions and dependencies. It can suggest messaging, caching, and database interaction patterns tailored to microservice architectures.

When to use it

  • You need to design or scaffold background workers for tasks like jobs, queues, or scheduled processing
  • You want production-ready examples for Node.js, Python, or Go workers with retry and error handling
  • You need deployment configurations for containerized workers, cron jobs, or serverless background tasks
  • You are integrating workers with messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS) or task queues (Celery, Bull)
  • You want guidance on observability: logging, tracing, health checks, and metrics for workers

Best practices

  • Design idempotent job handlers and include retry/backoff strategies
  • Keep workers single-responsibility and separate processing from orchestration
  • Add structured logging, distributed tracing, and metrics for observability
  • Secure credentials and use least-privilege service roles for messaging and DB access
  • Implement graceful shutdown, liveness/readiness probes, and resource limits

Example use cases

  • Scaffold a Python Celery worker with Redis broker and sample tasks
  • Create a Node.js worker using BullMQ and generate Docker + K8s manifests
  • Design a Go worker consuming from Kafka with schema validation and metrics
  • Generate a retry strategy and dead-letter handling configuration for SQS
  • Draft health checks and Prometheus metrics integration for an existing worker

FAQ

What inputs do you need to scaffold a worker?

Provide language, messaging or queue choice, deployment target, and any runtime constraints (memory, concurrency).

Will generated code be production-ready?

Outputs follow industry patterns and include error handling, retries, and config examples, but expect project-specific adjustments and security reviews.
