cmux-backend
Backend TypeScript and Cloud VM development rules for cmux. Use when editing web/app/api, web/services, backend scripts, Cloud VM lifecycle, provider integrations, Postgres, Stack Auth pricing gates, migrations, or provider image build scripts.
What this skill does
# cmux Backend Use this skill for backend TypeScript, Cloud VM, provider, database, auth, rate-limit, retry, timeout, or telemetry work. ## Core rules - Default backend TypeScript to Effect under `web/app/api/**`, `web/services/**`, and backend scripts that touch providers, databases, auth, rate limits, retries, timeouts, or telemetry. - Keep Next route handlers thin: parse the request, run one Effect program at the boundary, map typed errors to HTTP responses, and treat unexpected defects separately. - Use plain TypeScript only for trivial data shapes, constants, config files, frontend React code, or small glue where Effect would add ceremony without improving failure handling. - Cloud VM backend logic must stay in Vercel route handlers and Effect services backed by Postgres. - Do not reintroduce Rivet or a raw actor protocol for Cloud VM unless a later architecture doc explicitly changes the control plane. - Production and staging Cloud VM Postgres use the Vercel Marketplace AWS Aurora PostgreSQL OIDC/RDS IAM path. - Runtime env names are `CMUX_DB_DRIVER=aws-rds-iam`, `AWS_ROLE_ARN`, `AWS_REGION`, `PGHOST`, `PGPORT`, `PGUSER`, and `PGDATABASE`. - Run production/staging migrations with `bun db:migrate:aws-rds-iam`; never run Drizzle migrations from Vercel build or route startup. - Local development keeps using the `CMUX_PORT`-derived Docker Postgres path from `bun dev`. - Cloud VM create pricing gates should use Stack Auth team payment items when enabled. - Postgres remains the source of truth for VM lifecycle, active VM limits, idempotency, and usage events. ## Secrets Cloud VM build, test, and local dev scripts use provider secrets from `~/.secrets/cmux.env`. - `E2B_API_KEY` - `FREESTYLE_API_KEY` - R2 upload vars used by `web/scripts/build-cloud-vm-images.ts` when creating Freestyle snapshots Load them with: ```bash set -a source ~/.secrets/cmux.env set +a ``` `~/.secrets/cmuxterm-dev.env` is for local Stack/web env and does not contain the provider build keys. `bun dev` sources `~/.secrets/cmux.env` first when present, then `~/.secrets/cmuxterm-dev.env` so cmuxterm-specific Stack settings override broader cmux secrets. The web dev loader still accepts the legacy `~/.secret/cmuxterm.env` and `~/.secrets/cmuxterm.env` paths while machines migrate. ## Detailed references - Read [references/effect-boundaries.md](references/effect-boundaries.md) when shaping route handlers, services, typed errors, retries, or dependency injection. - Read [references/cloud-vm-control-plane.md](references/cloud-vm-control-plane.md) when touching VM lifecycle, migrations, Postgres, provider idempotency, or pricing gates.
Related in Image & Video
watch
IncludedWatch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment. Trigger keywords: defect image generation, dig workflow, dig pipeline, defect image detection workflow, aoi pipeline, aoi anomalygen, usd2roi anomalygen, day 0 pcba, day 1 pcba, day 1 real-photo alignment, day 1 manual roi, metal surface anomaly, glass defect, anomalygen finetune, setup_pcb, setup_metal, setup_glass, setup_pretrained, dig setup, dig datasets, dig pretrained checkpoint, dig image-edit endpoint.
accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config.

humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
