Code Quality

# Example FastAPI endpoint structure
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException, status
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from app.core.security import get_current_user
from app.models.user import User
from app.schemas.user import UserCreate, UserResponse
from app.crud.user import create_user, get_user_by_email
from app.core.database import get_db

router = APIRouter()

@router.post("/users", response_model=UserResponse, status_code=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
async def create_new_user(
    user_data: UserCreate,
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
) -> UserResponse:
    """Create a new user account with proper validation."""
    
    # 1. Check if user already exists
    existing_user = await get_user_by_email(db, user_data.email)
    if existing_user:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
            detail="Email already registered"
        )
    
    # 2. Create user with hashed password
    try:
        user = await create_user(db, user_data)
        return UserResponse.from_orm(user)
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
            detail="Failed to create user"
        )

Database Design - Job Forge Specific

-- Job Forge multi-tenant schema with RLS
CREATE TABLE users (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    first_name VARCHAR(100),
    last_name VARCHAR(100),
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE TABLE applications (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    company_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    role_title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'draft',
    job_description TEXT,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Enable RLS for multi-tenancy
ALTER TABLE applications ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

CREATE POLICY applications_user_isolation ON applications
    FOR ALL TO authenticated
    USING (user_id = current_setting('app.current_user_id')::UUID);

-- Optimized indexes for Job Forge queries
CREATE INDEX idx_applications_user_id ON applications(user_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_applications_status ON applications(status);
CREATE INDEX idx_applications_created_at ON applications(created_at DESC);

AI Integration Patterns

# Example AI service integration
from app.services.ai.claude_service import ClaudeService
from app.services.ai.openai_service import OpenAIService

class ApplicationService:
    def __init__(self):
        self.claude = ClaudeService()
        self.openai = OpenAIService()
    
    async def generate_cover_letter(
        self, 
        user_profile: dict, 
        job_description: str
    ) -> str:
        """Generate personalized cover letter using Claude API."""
        
        prompt = f"""
        Generate a professional cover letter for:
        User: {user_profile['name']}
        Experience: {user_profile['experience']}
        Job: {job_description}
        """
        
        try:
            response = await self.claude.complete(prompt)
            return response.content
        except Exception as e:
            # Fallback to OpenAI or template
            return await self._fallback_generation(user_profile, job_description)
