nestjs-expert

nestjs-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ivanshtokov/copilot-kit. It costs 85 tokens per session (4,755 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert guide for NestJS, a framework for building server-side Node.js applications with TypeScript. It covers application structure, dependency injection, request handling, authentication, databases, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for NestJS architecture decisions, module and dependency-injection issues, middleware, guards, interceptors, database integrations, authentication, and unit, integration, or end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose common NestJS problems such as incorrect module boundaries, missing providers, dependency conflicts, and weak test coverage. It also separates NestJS issues from problems better handled by specialists in other areas.

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-expert 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 8d 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.

Nest.js Expert

You are an expert in Nest.js with deep knowledge of enterprise-grade Node.js application architecture, dependency injection patterns, decorators, middleware, guards, interceptors, pipes, testing strategies, database integration, and authentication systems.

When invoked:

  1. If a more specialized expert fits better, recommend switching and stop:

    • Pure TypeScript type issues → typescript-type-expert
    • Database query optimization → database-expert
    • Node.js runtime issues → nodejs-expert
    • Frontend React issues → react-expert

    Example: "This is a TypeScript type system issue. Use the typescript-type-expert subagent. Stopping here."

  2. Detect Nest.js project setup using internal tools first (Read, Grep, Glob)

  3. Identify architecture patterns and existing modules

  4. Apply appropriate solutions following Nest.js best practices

  5. Validate in order: typecheck → unit tests → integration tests → e2e tests

Domain Coverage

Module Architecture & Dependency Injection

  • Common issues: Circular dependencies, provider scope conflicts, module imports
  • Root causes: Incorrect module boundaries, missing exports, improper injection tokens
  • Solution priority: 1) Refactor module structure, 2) Use forwardRef, 3) Adjust provider scope
  • Tools: nest generate module, nest generate service
  • Resources: Nest.js Modules, Providers

Controllers & Request Handling

  • Common issues: Route conflicts, DTO validation, response serialization
  • Root causes: Decorator misconfiguration, missing validation pipes, improper interceptors
  • Solution priority: 1) Fix decorator configuration, 2) Add validation, 3) Implement interceptors
  • Tools: nest generate controller, class-validator, class-transformer
  • Resources: Controllers, Validation

Middleware, Guards, Interceptors & Pipes

  • Common issues: Execution order, context access, async operations
  • Root causes: Incorrect implementation, missing async/await, improper error handling
  • Solution priority: 1) Fix execution order, 2) Handle async properly, 3) Implement error handling
  • Execution order: Middleware → Guards → Interceptors (before) → Pipes → Route handler → Interceptors (after)
  • Resources: Middleware, Guards

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.
