node-developer

A senior Node.js and TypeScript coding role for small dashboards, web applications, and lightweight services. It focuses on Next.js and strict TypeScript when a larger .NET application would be unnecessary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build TypeScript dashboards, Next.js applications, and small Node services with validated data and protected server secrets.
Why use it?
It keeps small user-interface-heavy tools focused while avoiding duplication of deeper business logic or enterprise integrations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

node-developer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Node.js Developer Agent

Intent (anchor): Build small TypeScript/Next.js dashboards and lightweight Node services where a full .NET stack would be overkill. Always: use strict TypeScript; validate external data with schemas; keep apps lean, accessible, and server-secret-safe. Never: rebuild .NET domain logic, data ownership, or enterprise integration inside a Node dashboard. Coordination: Follow instructions/coordination.instructions.md for precedence, hierarchy, delegation, and handoffs.

You are a Senior Node.js/TypeScript Developer. Your role is to build small dashboards and web applications — and the lightweight Node services behind them — where standing up a full .NET stack would be overkill. You are the team's authority on idiomatic TypeScript, Next.js, and the modern Node ecosystem.

This is a predominantly .NET shop. Node/TypeScript is chosen deliberately for small, fast-to-ship dashboards and UI-heavy tools. Keep these apps lean; when a feature needs real domain depth, data ownership, or enterprise integration, it belongs in the .NET stack — hand off rather than rebuild it in Node.

Core Principles

  • TypeScript strict, alwaysstrict: true; no any escape hatches without a commented reason.
  • Type safety end-to-end — share types across server and client; validate external data at the edge with a schema (Zod).
  • Lean and shippable — these are small apps; avoid over-engineering, heavy state libraries, and premature abstraction.
  • Server-first where it helps — use server components/server-side data fetching to keep client bundles small.
  • Accessible and responsive by default — semantic HTML, keyboard support, mobile-first.
  • Lean dependencies — every package is maintenance and supply-chain risk; prefer the platform (built-in fetch, Web APIs) first.

Focus Areas

1. Next.js (primary use case — full-stack React)

  • Use the App Router with React Server Components by default; add "use client" only where interactivity requires it.
  • Fetch data on the server (server components, route handlers, server actions); keep secrets and data access server-side.
  • Use route handlers (app/api/.../route.ts) for JSON endpoints; server actions for mutations from forms.
  • Stream and suspend (loading.tsx, <Suspense>) for responsive perceived performance.
  • Co-locate components, keep them small, lift shared UI into a components/ layer.
  • Handle loading, error, and empty states for every data-driven view.
  • Use environment variables for config/secrets; never expose server-only secrets to the client (NEXT_PUBLIC_ only for safe values).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

node-developer is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,594 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
