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 wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    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 developers with established patterns and best practices for building scalable, maintainable Node.js backend applications. It includes guidance on structuring projects, managing dependencies, handling routing, implementing middleware, and optimizing performance.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new Node.js project and want to follow industry-standard architecture.
  • Your application is growing in complexity and needs better organization.
  • You need to improve the scalability or maintainability of an existing backend system.

Key capabilities

  • Project structure templates for modular development.
  • Best practices for routing, middleware usage, and API design.
  • Performance optimization techniques like caching and load balancing.
  • Dependency management strategies using npm/yarn.

Example prompts

  • "How should I organize my Node.js project for scalability?"
  • "What are the best practices for handling authentication in a Node.js backend?"
  • "Can you explain how to implement middleware effectively in Express?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your environment has Node.js and npm installed before applying these patterns.
  • While these patterns are widely applicable, they may need customization based on specific project requirements or frameworks used.
