Does it include security best practices?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for Helmet security headers, CORS configuration, JWT-based authentication, and role-based authorization (RBAC).

Is the code generated by this skill type-safe?

Yes, all patterns and examples are written in TypeScript, emphasizing strong typing for request bodies, responses, and internal service dependencies.

Does this skill support both Express and Fastify?

Yes, it provides boilerplate, configuration, and architectural patterns for both the minimalist Express.js framework and the high-performance Fastify framework.

What architectural pattern does this skill promote?

It implements a Layered Architecture, separating concerns into Controllers (routing), Services (business logic), and Repositories (data access) to ensure clean, testable code.

How does it handle input validation?

It utilizes Zod for schema-based request validation in Express and leverages Fastify's native JSON schema validation for high-performance data checking.

API 开发

Implements scalable, production-ready Node.js backend architectures using Express or Fastify with industry-standard patterns.

This skill provides comprehensive architectural guidance for building robust Node.js servers, covering everything from initial framework setup to advanced dependency injection and middleware implementation. It streamlines the creation of RESTful APIs, GraphQL backends, and microservices by enforcing a layered architecture (Controller-Service-Repository) that ensures long-term maintainability and testability. Whether you are handling JWT authentication, database integration, or high-performance schema validation, this skill guides Claude in generating clean, professional-grade backend code optimized for production environments.
