Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

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 kadajett/agent-nestjs-skills at 3986e0cede.
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 best practices for building scalable and maintainable backend applications using NestJS. It includes guidance on structuring modules, handling dependencies, implementing middleware, and optimizing performance.

When to use it

When starting a new NestJS project and needing architectural guidelines
When refactoring an existing NestJS application for better scalability
When preparing documentation or training materials for a NestJS team
When looking to improve the maintainability of your backend codebase

Key capabilities

Structuring projects with modular architecture
Implementing dependency injection effectively
Configuring middleware and guards properly
Optimizing performance through caching and async operations

Example prompts

"How should I organize my NestJS modules for a large-scale application?"
"What are the best practices for using guards in NestJS?"
"Can you explain how to implement caching in a NestJS service?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project is already set up with NestJS before applying these practices.
Some advanced patterns may require familiarity with TypeScript and Node.js ecosystems.
