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

nestjs-best-practices 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/build-agents.ts, scripts/build.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

NestJS Best Practices

Comprehensive best practices guide for NestJS applications. Contains 40 rules across 10 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing new NestJS modules, controllers, or services
  • Implementing authentication and authorization
  • Reviewing code for architecture and security issues
  • Refactoring existing NestJS codebases
  • Optimizing performance or database queries
  • Building microservices architectures

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Architecture CRITICAL arch-
2 Dependency Injection CRITICAL di-
3 Error Handling HIGH error-
4 Security HIGH security-
5 Performance HIGH perf-
6 Testing MEDIUM-HIGH test-
7 Database & ORM MEDIUM-HIGH db-
8 API Design MEDIUM api-
9 Microservices MEDIUM micro-
10 DevOps & Deployment LOW-MEDIUM devops-

Quick Reference

1. Architecture (CRITICAL)

  • arch-avoid-circular-deps - Avoid circular module dependencies
  • arch-feature-modules - Organize by feature, not technical layer
  • arch-module-sharing - Proper module exports/imports, avoid duplicate providers
  • arch-single-responsibility - Focused services over "god services"
  • arch-use-repository-pattern - Abstract database logic for testability
  • arch-use-events - Event-driven architecture for decoupling

2. Dependency Injection (CRITICAL)

  • di-avoid-service-locator - Avoid service locator anti-pattern
  • di-interface-segregation - Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
  • di-liskov-substitution - Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
  • di-prefer-constructor-injection - Constructor over property injection
  • di-scope-awareness - Understand singleton/request/transient scopes
  • di-use-interfaces-tokens - Use injection tokens for interfaces

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.
