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 provides guidance and assistance for implementing scalable pagination strategies when working with large datasets via APIs. It outlines different pagination approaches (Offset/Limit, Cursor, Keyset) and their suitability based on dataset size and UI requirements. The skill includes code examples demonstrating how to implement these strategies in Node.js applications using Express.
When to use it
- When retrieving data from an API that returns large datasets.
- To optimize performance when displaying data in a user interface with features like infinite scrolling.
- When needing to provide users with navigation links (first, previous, next, last pages) for browsing through results.
- For implementing real-time updates where new data is continuously added.
Key capabilities
- Pagination Strategy Guidance: Provides information on Offset/Limit, Cursor, and Keyset pagination techniques.
- Code Examples: Includes Node.js code snippets demonstrating the implementation of Offset Pagination and Cursor Pagination.
- Performance Considerations: Highlights the performance characteristics (O(n) vs O(1)) of different pagination methods.
- Response Format Example: Shows an example JSON response format including data, pagination metadata (page, limit, total, totalPages), and links for navigation.
Example prompts
- "How can I implement cursor-based pagination in my API?"
- "What's the best way to paginate a large dataset using Node.js?"
- "Show me an example of offset pagination with limits."
Tips & gotchas
- Always set reasonable maximum limits for page sizes (e.g., 100) to prevent performance issues and server overload.
- Cursor pagination is recommended for very large datasets where efficiency is critical.
- Indexing sorting fields in your database can significantly improve query performance when using any pagination method.
