nodejs-backend-patterns

nodejs-backend-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ever-works/directory-web-template. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,991 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide to building server-side applications with Node.js, a JavaScript runtime used outside the browser. It covers Express or Fastify servers, APIs, databases, authentication, errors, and service design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating REST or GraphQL APIs, web servers, database-backed services, and microservices with Node.js.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a consistent way to handle common backend tasks instead of improvising server structure and error behavior each time.

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.

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.
