nginx-config-pro

nginx-config-pro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JayRHa/AgentSkills. It costs 107 tokens per session (2,366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A configuration helper for nginx, a web server that can sit in front of an application and handle HTTPS, traffic routing, caching, and compression.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up or review nginx reverse-proxy configurations, add TLS and HTTP/2, cache responses, limit abusive clients, compress content, and investigate 502 or 504 errors.
Why use it?
It reduces common setup and security mistakes that can cause unavailable apps, leaked headers, weak encryption, or poorly handled traffic.

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

nginx-config-pro 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/nginx_check.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.

nginx-config-pro

Overview

Authoritative guidance for writing secure, performant nginx reverse-proxy configurations. Produces server blocks that terminate TLS, speak HTTP/2, proxy to upstream applications, cache responses, throttle abusive clients, and compress payloads — without the footguns that cause 502s, header leaks, or weak ciphers.

Keywords: nginx, reverse proxy, TLS, SSL, HTTPS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, certbot, Let's Encrypt, upstream, proxy_pass, gzip, brotli, rate limiting, limit_req, proxy_cache, security headers, HSTS, CSP, OCSP stapling, websocket, load balancing, 502 bad gateway, 504 gateway timeout.

This skill targets nginx 1.18+ (most directives work on 1.10+). HTTP/3 notes assume 1.25+.

When to use

  • Standing up nginx in front of an app server (Node, Django/gunicorn, Rails/puma, PHP-FPM, a container).
  • Adding or fixing TLS, redirects, or HSTS.
  • Diagnosing 502/504, header duplication, or caching misses.
  • Reviewing an existing nginx.conf for security and performance.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Each builds on the previous.

  1. Gather inputs. Determine: domain name(s), upstream address (host:port or socket), app protocol (http/https/grpc/websocket), whether TLS certs exist or need Let's Encrypt, expected traffic profile (for rate limits and cache), and static asset paths.
  2. Choose a topology. Single upstream vs. load-balanced pool; HTTP/1.1 keepalive to upstream vs. fresh connections; whether caching is safe (idempotent GET responses with sane cache headers).
  3. Scaffold the file. Use templates/reverse-proxy.conf.tmpl as the starting point. Place site configs in /etc/nginx/sites-available/<name>.conf and symlink into sites-enabled/ (Debian/Ubuntu), or /etc/nginx/conf.d/<name>.conf (RHEL).
  4. Configure TLS. Apply the cipher suite, protocols, and OCSP stapling from references/tls-hardening.md. Always serve a port 80 → 443 redirect. Add HSTS only once you are certain HTTPS is permanent.
  5. Set proxy headers correctly. Forward Host, X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Proto, and X-Real-IP. Set sane timeouts. For websockets, add the Upgrade/Connection map. See the "Proxy headers" checklist below.
  6. Add performance layers. Enable gzip (and brotli if the module is present), HTTP/2, upstream keepalive, and proxy_cache where appropriate.
  7. Add protection layers. Define limit_req_zone / limit_conn_zone in http {} and apply them in location/server. Add the security-header bundle.
  8. Validate. Run scripts/nginx_check.sh <conf> to lint for the most common mistakes, then nginx -t and reload. Verify externally per references/troubleshooting.md.

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.

nginx-config-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository JayRHa/AgentSkills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 2,366 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
