JavaScript Language Patterns

JavaScript Language Patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 21 tokens per session (465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing modern JavaScript using features from ES2022 and later, such as modules, async/await, optional chaining, and immutable data handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing JavaScript functions, asynchronous requests, objects, arrays, modules, and classes.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent coding styles and common errors caused by older syntax, loose comparisons, callback-heavy code, and unexpected changes to shared data.

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

JavaScript Language 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 13d 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

JavaScript Language Patterns

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Modern JavaScript standards for clean, maintainable code.

Implementation Guidelines

  • Variables: const default. let if needed. No var.
  • Functions: Arrows for callbacks. Declarations for top-level.
  • Async: async/await + try/catch.
  • Objects: Destructuring, Spread ..., Optional Chain ?., Nullish ??.
  • Strings: Template literals ${}.
  • Arrays: map, filter, reduce. No loops.
  • Modules: ESM import/export. Export only what is necessary.
  • Classes: Use #private fields for true privacy.

Anti-Patterns

  • No var: Block scope only.
  • No ==: Strict ===.
  • No new Object(): Use literals {}.
  • No Callbacks: Promisify everything.
  • No Mutation: Immutability first.

Code

// Modern Syntax
const [x, ...rest] = items;
const name = user?.profile?.name ?? 'Guest';

// Async
async function getUser(id) {
  try {
    const res = await fetch(`/api/${id}`);
    return res.json();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    throw err;
  }
}

// Class + Private
class Service {
  #key;
  constructor(k) {
    this.#key = k;
  }
}

What ships with it

1 file 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.
