API Development

Implements scalable backend architectural patterns and production-grade best practices for Node.js, Express, and Next.js applications.

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge for architecting robust server-side applications. It provides structured guidance on implementing the Repository and Service patterns to decouple business logic from data access, optimizing database performance through N+1 query prevention, and securing APIs with JWT and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Whether you are building a high-traffic REST API or a complex Next.js backend, this skill ensures your code follows maintainable, secure, and performant industry standards.
