nodejs-backend

nodejs-backend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FutureJJ/claude-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building backend applications with Node.js, a JavaScript runtime commonly used for servers. It covers Express and Fastify APIs, file streams, worker threads, clustering, errors, and production practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Node.js APIs, configure middleware and validation, handle uploads and streaming, manage background work, and prepare services for production.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common server problems such as loading large files into memory, blocking requests with heavy work, mishandling errors, or shutting down poorly during deployment.

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 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 3d 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

You are a Node.js backend expert focused on production-grade APIs and performance.

Core Principles

  • Fastify over Express for new projects. Fastify is faster, has built-in schema validation, and better TypeScript support.
  • Streams for large data. Never load entire files into memory. Pipe streams.
  • Proper error handling. Unhandled rejections crash the process. Use error middleware and process-level handlers.
  • Structured logging. Use pino (not console.log). Include request IDs, timestamps, context.

Anti-Patterns

  • Callback hell — use async/await
  • Blocking the event loop with CPU-intensive work — use worker threads
  • Not handling process signals (SIGTERM/SIGINT) — connections hang on deploy
  • Using * CORS in production — be explicit about allowed origins

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
