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 manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace at 1861cc9720.

    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

The express-microservices-architecture skill enables AI agents to design, scaffold, and deploy scalable backend systems using Node.js and the Express framework. It automates the creation of modular service structures, API routes, and database integrations tailored for high-performance distributed applications.

When to use it

  • Rapidly prototype multi-service backends for complex enterprise applications.
  • Generate boilerplate code for RESTful APIs that adhere to microservices best practices.
  • Scaffold projects requiring independent deployment units for different business domains.
  • Create initial project structures with integrated middleware and error handling strategies.

Key capabilities

  • Generates Express.js application skeletons optimized for microservice patterns.
  • Configures modular directory structures separating routes, controllers, and services.
  • Sets up essential HTTP middleware for logging, parsing, and security.
  • Integrates database connection logic suitable for distributed data management.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Node.js microservices architecture using Express with separate modules for user authentication and order processing."
  • "Scaffold an Express backend capable of handling high-concurrency requests with isolated service boundaries."
  • "Generate the initial project structure for a polyglot microservice ecosystem where one service uses Express and another uses Python."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to npm or yarn dependencies to install required packages like express, mongoose, or redis after scaffolding. While this skill provides robust structural foundations, you must manually configure environment variables for production deployments to ensure security and flexibility.
