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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
The nodejs-best-practices skill provides AI agents with a comprehensive library of industry-standard guidelines for developing robust Node.js applications. It covers essential areas including error handling, asynchronous programming patterns, security protocols, and performance optimization strategies to ensure code quality and maintainability.
When to use it
- Refactoring legacy JavaScript codebases to align with modern ES6+ standards and modular architecture.
- Generating secure API endpoints that properly validate inputs and sanitize data to prevent injection attacks.
- Designing scalable event-driven systems using streams, buffers, and efficient memory management techniques.
- Implementing comprehensive logging and error tracking mechanisms for production environments.
Key capabilities
- Asynchronous control flow patterns (Promises, async/await)
- Error handling strategies and exception management
- Security best practices including authentication and authorization flows
- Memory leak detection and prevention techniques
- Module organization and dependency management guidelines
- Testing methodologies specific to Node.js ecosystems
Example prompts
- "Generate a secure Express.js middleware stack that validates JWT tokens and sanitizes user inputs before processing requests."
- "Refactor this legacy callback-based Node.js function into an async/await implementation following modern error handling conventions."
- "Create a memory-efficient stream processor for handling large file uploads in Node.js without blocking the event loop."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has access to current Node.js documentation, as best practices evolve rapidly with each major version release. This skill is most effective when combined with specific framework knowledge (e.g., Express, NestJS) rather than being used in isolation for generic coding tasks.
