# Send FastAPI to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Async Traps

Mixing sync database drivers (psycopg2, PyMySQL) in async endpoints blocks the event loop — use async drivers (asyncpg, aiomysql) or run sync code in run_in_executor
time.sleep() in async endpoints blocks everything — use await asyncio.sleep() instead
CPU-bound work in async endpoints starves other requests — offload to ProcessPoolExecutor or background workers
Async endpoints calling sync functions that do I/O still block — the entire call chain must be async

### Pydantic Validation

Default values in models become shared mutable state: items: list = [] shares the same list across requests — use Field(default_factory=list)
Optional[str] doesn't make a field optional in the request — add = None or use Field(default=None)
Pydantic v2 uses model_validate() not parse_obj(), and model_dump() not .dict() — v1 methods are deprecated
Use Annotated[str, Field(min_length=1)] for reusable validated types instead of repeating constraints

### Dependency Injection

Dependencies run on every request by default — use lru_cache on expensive dependencies or cache in app.state for singletons
Depends() without an argument reuses the type hint as the dependency — clean but can confuse readers
Nested dependencies form a DAG — if A depends on B and C, and both B and C depend on D, D runs once (cached per-request)
yield dependencies for cleanup (DB sessions, file handles) — code after yield runs even if the endpoint raises

### Lifespan and Startup

@app.on_event("startup") is deprecated — use lifespan async context manager
Store shared resources (DB pool, HTTP client) in app.state during lifespan, not as global variables
Lifespan runs once per worker process — with 4 Uvicorn workers you get 4 DB pools

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app):
    app.state.db = await create_pool()
    yield
    await app.state.db.close()
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

### Request/Response

Return dict from endpoints, not Pydantic models directly — FastAPI handles serialization and it's faster
Use status_code=201 on POST endpoints returning created resources — 200 is the default but semantically wrong
Response with media_type="text/plain" for non-JSON responses — returning a string still gets JSON-encoded otherwise
Set response_model_exclude_unset=True to omit None fields from response — cleaner API output

### Error Handling

raise HTTPException(status_code=404) — don't return Response objects for errors, it bypasses middleware
Custom exception handlers with @app.exception_handler(CustomError) — but remember they don't catch HTTPException
Use detail= for user-facing messages, log the actual error separately — don't leak stack traces

### Background Tasks

BackgroundTasks runs after the response is sent but still in the same process — not suitable for long-running jobs
Tasks execute sequentially in order added — don't assume parallelism
If a background task fails, the client never knows — add your own error handling and alerting

### Security

OAuth2PasswordBearer is for documentation only — it doesn't validate tokens, you must implement that in the dependency
CORS middleware must come after exception handlers in middleware order — or errors won't have CORS headers
Depends(get_current_user) in path operation, not in router — dependencies on routers affect all routes including health checks

### Testing

TestClient runs sync even for async endpoints — use httpx.AsyncClient with ASGITransport for true async testing
Override dependencies with app.dependency_overrides[get_db] = mock_db — cleaner than monkeypatching
TestClient context manager ensures lifespan runs — without with TestClient(app) as client: startup/shutdown hooks don't fire
