nodejs-backend-patterns

nodejs-backend-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 28 tokens per session (331 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to common patterns for building Node.js backend applications. Node.js lets JavaScript run on servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building REST or GraphQL APIs, microservices, real-time features, authentication, database integrations, middleware, or job-processing systems.
Why use it?
It helps developers structure backend code so APIs, authentication, databases, background jobs, and error handling remain maintainable as the application grows.

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

nodejs-backend-patterns 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Node.js Backend Patterns

Comprehensive guidance for building scalable, maintainable, and production-ready Node.js backend applications with modern frameworks, architectural patterns, and best practices.

Use this skill when

  • Building REST APIs or GraphQL servers
  • Creating microservices with Node.js
  • Implementing authentication and authorization
  • Designing scalable backend architectures
  • Setting up middleware and error handling
  • Integrating databases (SQL and NoSQL)
  • Building real-time applications with WebSockets
  • Implementing background job processing

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to node.js backend patterns
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
Changes

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.
