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 implements a Node.js backend pattern using Express for routing, and MongoDB for data persistence. It allows you to build APIs with RESTful endpoints that interact with a MongoDB database. This pattern provides a structured approach for creating scalable and maintainable server-side applications.
When to use it
- Building a simple API: Quickly create an API for a mobile app or web application needing basic data storage and retrieval.
- Creating a backend for a dashboard: Develop the server-side logic for displaying and managing data in a user interface.
- Prototyping a full-stack application: Establish a foundational backend architecture before building out the frontend components.
- Managing User Data: Store, retrieve, update, and delete user profiles or other relevant information within a MongoDB database.
Key capabilities
- Express routing for defining API endpoints.
- MongoDB integration for data storage and retrieval.
- RESTful API design principles.
- Backend application structure.
Example prompts
- "Create an endpoint to retrieve all users from the database."
- "Implement a route to add a new product with these details: [product details]."
- "Build an API for managing customer orders, including creating, reading, updating and deleting orders."
Tips & gotchas
- Requires familiarity with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB concepts.
- Ensure your MongoDB database is properly configured and accessible before deploying the backend application.
