middleware

middleware is a command for Claude Code from swesmith/davila7__claude-code-templates.734b8a50. It costs 0 tokens per session (572 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of middleware, MIT.

A command for creating Express middleware, which is code that runs during the handling of a web request. It follows the patterns and organisation already used in the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create authentication, validation, logging, error-handling, security, or utility middleware and connect it to the Express app.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of fitting new request handling into an existing Express application, including types, tests, and middleware order.

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

middleware 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 7d ago.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to middleware — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Express Middleware

Create Express middleware for $ARGUMENTS following project conventions.

Task

Create or optimize Express middleware based on the requirements:

  1. Analyze existing middleware: Check current middleware patterns, naming conventions, and file organization
  2. Examine Express setup: Review app configuration, middleware stack order, and TypeScript usage
  3. Identify middleware type: Determine the middleware category:
    • Authentication/Authorization (JWT, sessions, role-based)
    • Validation (request body, params, query validation)
    • Logging (request/response logging, audit trails)
    • Error handling (global error handlers, custom errors)
    • Security (CORS, rate limiting, helmet)
    • Utility (parsing, compression, static files)
  4. Check dependencies: Review existing middleware dependencies to avoid duplication
  5. Implement middleware: Create middleware with proper TypeScript types and error handling
  6. Test middleware: Write unit and integration tests following project patterns
  7. Update middleware stack: Integrate middleware into Express app configuration
  8. Add documentation: Include JSDoc comments and usage examples

Implementation Requirements

  • Follow project's TypeScript conventions and interfaces
  • Use existing error handling patterns and response formats
  • Include proper request/response typing with custom interfaces
  • Add comprehensive error handling and logging
  • Consider middleware execution order and dependencies
  • Implement proper async/await patterns for async middleware
  • Follow project's folder structure for middleware files

Middleware Patterns to Consider

Based on the request:

  • Authentication: JWT verification, session management, API key validation
  • Authorization: Role-based access control, permission checking
  • Validation: Schema validation with Joi/Zod, sanitization
  • Logging: Request logging, performance monitoring, audit trails
  • Error Handling: Global error handlers, custom error classes
  • Security: CORS configuration, rate limiting, input sanitization
  • Utility: Request parsing, response formatting, caching

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.

middleware is a command published in the GitHub repository swesmith/davila7__claude-code-templates.734b8a50 (2 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 572 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to middleware, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
