Does it include security best practices?

Yes, it covers JWT token verification, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) middleware, and rate limiting to protect your endpoints.

How does this skill help with database performance?

It provides specific code patterns for batch fetching to prevent N+1 query problems, column selection optimization, and transaction management.

Can it help with asynchronous task management?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for simple job queues and background processing to handle long-running tasks without blocking the main thread.

What frameworks does this skill support?

While the logic applies broadly, this skill is specifically optimized for Node.js, Express, and Next.js API routes using TypeScript.
