# Generating Grpc Services
## Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for grpc service generator tasks.
This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.
## Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have:
- API design specifications or requirements documented
- Development environment with necessary frameworks installed
- Database or backend services accessible for integration
- Authentication and authorization strategies defined
- Testing tools and environments configured
## Instructions
1. Use Read tool to examine existing API specifications from {baseDir}/api-specs/
2. Define resource models, endpoints, and HTTP methods
3. Document request/response schemas and data types
4. Identify authentication and authorization requirements
5. Plan error handling and validation strategies
1. Generate boilerplate code using Bash(api:grpc-*) with framework scaffolding
2. Implement endpoint handlers with business logic
3. Add input validation and schema enforcement
4. Integrate authentication and authorization middleware
5. Configure database connections and ORM models
1. Write integration tests covering all endpoints
See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.
## Output
- `{baseDir}/src/routes/` - Endpoint route definitions
- `{baseDir}/src/controllers/` - Business logic handlers
- `{baseDir}/src/models/` - Data models and schemas
- `{baseDir}/src/middleware/` - Authentication, validation, logging
- `{baseDir}/src/config/` - Configuration and environment variables
- OpenAPI 3.0 specification with complete endpoint definitions
## Error Handling
See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
## Resources
- Express.js and Fastify for Node.js APIs
- Flask and FastAPI for Python APIs
- Spring Boot for Java APIs
- Gin and Echo for Go APIs
- OpenAPI Specification 3.0+ for API documentation
This skill generates complete gRPC service definitions, client and server stubs, and starter implementations from Protocol Buffer (proto) files. It speeds up building high-performance RPC APIs by producing compilable proto schemas, language-specific stubs, and integration scaffolding. Use it to jumpstart production-ready gRPC servers and clients with consistent patterns for auth, validation, and testing.
The skill inspects your API design or provided .proto files and infers service methods, messages, and RPC semantics. It emits proto definitions, generates language-specific stubs (Python, Go, Java, Node), and scaffolds server-side handlers, middleware hooks, and basic tests. It can integrate authentication middleware, input validation, and database wiring based on simple configuration or design notes.
What inputs do I need to provide?
Provide API design notes or a draft .proto file describing services, RPC methods, and message fields; include authentication and persistence requirements if you want integration scaffolding.
Which languages are supported for stub generation?
Common targets include Python, Go, Java, and Node.js; the skill outputs standard proto files so additional languages supported by protoc can be added.
