Does this skill support frameworks other than Next.js?

Yes, it includes patterns for Express, Fastify, and general Node.js environments alongside specific Next.js Server Action templates.

What validation library is primarily used?

The patterns are built around Zod for its excellent TypeScript integration, but the logic can be easily adapted for Yup or other schema libraries.

Is security handled in these patterns?

Yes, the skill emphasizes security through authentication wrappers, Zod input validation, token-bucket rate limiting, and webhook signature verification.

How does the pagination pattern work?

It uses cursor-based pagination, which is more stable for large datasets than traditional offset-based systems by encoding IDs and timestamps into opaque cursors.

Can I use this for API versioning?

Absolutely, it provides ready-to-use templates for both URL-based and header-based versioning, including sunset and deprecation strategies.

API Development

Implements secure, type-safe, and scalable server-side API architectures using modern patterns and Zod-based validation.

About

This skill provides Claude with standardized blueprints for building production-ready APIs across various frameworks like Next.js, Express, and Fastify. It automates the implementation of critical backend infrastructure, including Zod-based validation, cursor-based pagination for large datasets, multi-strategy versioning, and robust rate limiting. Whether you are building Server Actions or traditional REST endpoints, these patterns ensure your code follows security best practices while maintaining strict type safety and high performance.

Key Features

Type-safe validation using Zod for Server Actions and REST endpoints
Secure webhook delivery systems featuring signature verification and retry logic
Multi-strategy API versioning for URL path and header-based management
Scalable cursor-based pagination with stable ordering and opaque cursors
1 GitHub stars
Advanced rate limiting using Token Bucket algorithms with Redis integration

Use Cases

Building secure, validated Server Actions in a Next.js App Router project
Setting up a robust webhook system with automated retries and security headers
Implementing high-performance pagination for large data collections in Express or Fastify
