Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned ericgrill/agents-skills-plugins at 43a037fd79.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance and code examples for common Node.js backend development patterns. It helps developers structure their applications, implement best practices, and solve recurring architectural challenges within a Node.js environment. The skill focuses on providing practical solutions rather than theoretical concepts.

When to use it

  • When designing the architecture of a new Node.js application.
  • To refactor existing Node.js code for improved maintainability and scalability.
  • For guidance on implementing specific backend features like authentication, data validation, or API endpoints.
  • When encountering common development roadblocks in Node.js projects.

Key capabilities

  • Provides examples of architectural patterns.
  • Offers solutions to recurring development challenges.
  • Focuses on practical implementation rather than theory.

Example prompts

  • "Show me an example of a layered architecture pattern in Node.js."
  • "How can I implement data validation for my API endpoints using Node.js?"
  • "What's the best way to handle authentication in a Node.js backend application?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes some familiarity with Node.js and basic backend development concepts. The provided examples are intended as starting points and may require adaptation based on specific project requirements.
