Is error tracking included in the guidelines?

Yes, it enforces the use of Sentry for error tracking and provides patterns for a centralized BaseController to handle errors consistently.

How does it handle input validation?

It uses Zod schemas to validate all incoming request bodies and parameters, ensuring runtime type safety and data integrity.

What architecture does this skill follow?

It follows a strict layered architecture comprising Routes (routing only), Controllers (request handling), Services (business logic), and Repositories (data access).

Does it support database operations?

Yes, it provides specific guidelines and patterns for using Prisma ORM with the Repository pattern to ensure clean data access layers.

Can I use this for existing Express projects?

Absolutely. The skill includes instructions for migrating from legacy patterns and refactoring existing code into the recommended layered structure.
