nodejs-service-dev

nodejs-service-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccoalm/ccl-skills. It costs 184 tokens per session (1,626 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for building and changing Node.js backend services and command-line tools. Node.js is a runtime for running JavaScript outside a web browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for HTTP or RPC handlers, workers, jobs, clients, TypeScript or JavaScript setup, cancellation, streams, shutdown handling, and Node.js tests.
Why use it?
It helps recover the existing code contract and make service changes that fit the project's runtime, modules, configuration, and tests.

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-service-dev 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 Service Development

Skill Routing

  • Use this skill for Node.js service implementation: handlers, middleware, adapters, workers, jobs, clients, runtime/toolchain mechanics, and focused tests.
  • New capabilities, cross-module architecture, service redesigns, and multi-stage refactors enter product-rd-workflow; verified repairs return here after defect-diagnosis.
  • testing-strategy chooses test layers, coverage policy, contract/E2E scope, and CI gates. This skill owns Node runner, mock, fixture, and command mechanics after that choice.
  • Standalone CLI/tooling stays here; language-stack CLI implementation must not be routed back to terminal-cli-dev, owner of the interface contract; logs/metrics/traces to platform-observability; cross-service timeout/retry/mTLS to platform-service-connectivity; rollout/rollback to platform-release-engineering.
  • Browser UI goes to web-react-dev; LLM/RAG/agent-runtime behavior to llm-inference-integration. Keep language-neutral rules in their existing owner.
  • Architecture, service-boundary, and data-ownership decisions have no Node architecture sibling skill by decision: they run through product-rd-workflow's architecture gate plus the relevant platform-* owners, and this skill owns the Node-side implementation contract. Do not borrow the Go or Python architecture skill for a Node.js service.
  • The runtime contract here is Node.js. Bun and Deno share much of this service shape, but their runtime, package, permission, and built-in-API semantics differ and are not verified against this skill's sources: reuse the boundary and lifecycle rules, confirm every runtime-specific claim against that runtime's own documentation, and treat a deliberate migration as a product-rd-workflow decision rather than a drop-in swap.

Generalization Discipline

  • Implement the repository in front of you; do not lift product nouns, service names, package paths, or organization-specific habits from a prior codebase into a reusable rule.
  • When adding or revising durable Node.js guidance, place it deliberately. A rule that depends on Node runtime or toolchain mechanics — module resolution, TypeScript execution, event loop, streams, worker_threads, package-manager state — stays here. Generic backend service practice belongs in the shared workflow, testing, or architecture owner; a lesson that also holds for a sibling stack updates go-microservice-dev or python-service-dev in the same landing instead of living only here.
  • The duty runs inward too: a generic backend rule already landed in a sibling stack skill applies here unless Node runtime semantics make it wrong. Record the per-sibling decision — update, unchanged, or route-to-shared — rather than leaving the sibling unexamined.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

nodejs-service-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository ccoalm/ccl-skills (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 184 tokens to every session and 1,626 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
