nginx-docs

nginx-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill for NGINX, software commonly used to serve websites, route requests, and distribute traffic between servers. It uses NGINX documentation for configuration and troubleshooting guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure web serving, reverse proxies, load balancing, HTTPS, redirects, caching, rate limits, WebSockets, TCP or UDP proxying, and NGINX operations.
Why use it?
It avoids applying Apache-style settings or outdated instructions to NGINX systems.

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

nginx-docs 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NGINX questions are easy to answer from stale memory or Apache-style configuration assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in the official NGINX documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic reverse-proxy advice.

When to Use

Use this skill when the request is about:

  • NGINX architecture, master/worker processes, and request processing
  • Installing, building, starting, stopping, and reloading NGINX
  • Configuration file structure: http, server, location, and stream contexts
  • Serving static content, reverse proxying, and load balancing
  • Upstreams, health checks, and connection distribution methods
  • HTTPS, TLS certificates, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and QUIC
  • Rewrite rules, redirects, and URL mapping
  • Rate limiting, access control, and request filtering
  • FastCGI, uWSGI, SCGI, gRPC, and WebSocket proxying
  • Stream (TCP/UDP) proxying and SSL preread
  • Mail proxy modules (IMAP, POP3, SMTP)
  • njs scripting and dynamic configuration
  • Module directives, variables, and logging

Do not use this skill for:

  • Kubernetes Ingress resources or kubectl usage without NGINX-specific context. Use kubernetes-docs instead; for NGINX Ingress Controller migration, check kubernetes.nginx.org as referenced in NGINX docs.
  • HAProxy, Envoy, or Traefik configuration unless the user asks for comparison with NGINX docs.
  • Application server code (Node.js, PHP-FPM app logic) unless the question is about NGINX proxying to that backend per NGINX docs.
  • NGINX Plus commercial-only features unless the user explicitly needs Plus docs linked from nginx.org.

Workflow

1. Classify the request

Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:

  • Getting started and core concepts
  • Installation, build, and process control
  • HTTP server configuration and static content
  • Reverse proxy, upstreams, and load balancing
  • TLS, HTTPS, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3
  • Rewrites, redirects, and WebSocket proxying
  • Stream (TCP/UDP) and mail proxying
  • Rate limiting, access control, and logging
  • njs scripting and advanced modules
  • Directive and variable reference

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.
