How does this skill help with Payload CMS security?

It identifies and resolves critical security pitfalls, such as Local API access control bypasses and transaction failures in hooks, by providing secure, battle-tested implementation patterns.

Is this useful for debugging existing Payload projects?

Yes, it is specifically designed to help troubleshoot validation errors, relationship query issues, and database adapter inconsistencies during active development.

Does it support custom field types and hooks?

Absolutely. It provides boilerplate and logic for complex field types like blocks, joins, and virtual fields, along with advanced strategies for orchestrating collection and field-level hooks.

Can this skill assist with Next.js integration?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for using the Payload instance within Next.js Server Components, API routes, and handling cache revalidation logic.
