Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides expert guidance and assistance for developing APIs using Go and NestJS with TypeScript. It focuses on best practices, code standards, and architectural patterns to create robust and maintainable API solutions. The skill covers core principles of Go API development including HTTP handling, error management, input validation, and middleware implementation, alongside clean coding guidelines for NestJS APIs.
When to use it
- When designing a new REST API using Go or NestJS.
- To ensure adherence to best practices in Go API development (e.g., proper status code usage).
- For guidance on structuring NestJS applications with modular architecture and DTOs.
- To improve the quality and maintainability of existing Go or NestJS APIs.
Key capabilities
- Expert advice on Go API development using the standard library (
net/http). - Guidance on HTTP method handling, error handling, input validation, and middleware implementation in Go.
- Best practices for building clean NestJS APIs with TypeScript.
- Recommendations for code standards including naming conventions (PascalCase, camelCase, SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE).
- Advice on modular architecture within NestJS applications.
- Guidance on using DTOs and validation decorators in NestJS.
Example prompts
- "How should I handle errors when building a Go API?"
- "What are the best practices for routing in Go with
net/http?" - "Can you give me an example of how to implement middleware for authentication in a NestJS application?"
- “What is the recommended approach to input validation in my NestJS API?”
Tips & gotchas
- The skill assumes familiarity with Go and NestJS fundamentals.
- It emphasizes using the latest stable versions of Go (1.22+) and strict TypeScript compiler options.
- Focus on leveraging the standard library in Go before introducing external dependencies.
