backend-nestjs

backend-nestjs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kieutrongthien/skills-fullstack. It costs 24 tokens per session (783 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building NestJS backends with TypeScript, including REST and GraphQL APIs. A backend is the server-side part of an application that handles data, rules, and requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for NestJS modules, controllers, services, data access, API endpoints, input validation, authentication, logging, and unit or end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
It helps organize server code and handle validation, authentication, errors, configuration, and database access consistently. This makes backend changes easier to test and maintain.

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

backend-nestjs 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 10d ago.

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

Backend - NestJS

When to use this skill

  • Creating or updating NestJS modules, controllers, services, DTOs, and pipes.
  • Adding REST or GraphQL endpoints, validation, authentication, or persistence.
  • Improving logging, error handling, testing, or configuration management.

Quick start

  1. Install deps: npm ci (or project-standard package manager).
  2. Env: copy .env.example -> .env; set database URL, JWT secrets, external service keys.
  3. Dev server: npm run start:dev; prod build: npm run build and npm run start:prod.
  4. Tests: npm test (unit) and npm run test:e2e (e2e); lint: npm run lint.

Core patterns

  • Modules group related providers/controllers; keep dependencies minimal.
  • DTOs define input/output shapes; use class-validator and class-transformer for validation and transformation.
  • Controllers handle transport; services contain business logic; repositories/ORM clients manage data access.
  • Use pipes for validation/transformation, filters for cross-cutting error shaping, guards for auth.

Coding principles

  • Keep controllers thin; put business logic in services; keep data access in repositories/ORM layers.
  • Validate and transform all inputs via DTOs; avoid leaking domain errors—normalize with filters/interceptors.
  • Use config module (no direct process.env reads); validate env with Joi.
  • Log with correlation IDs; avoid logging secrets; prefer structured logging.
  • Enforce lint/format/tests/type-check/build before merge (run scripts/dev-check.sh).

Patterns and snippets

  • DTO, controller/service, config, and error filter templates live in references/snippets.md.
  • Prefer guards for authz, strategies for authn; keep transactions in services.
  • Map ORM errors to HTTP-friendly responses; keep domain errors typed.

Authentication and authorization

  • JWT or session strategies via @nestjs/passport and PassportStrategy.
  • Guards for role/permission checks; apply globally or per-route.
  • Hash secrets with bcrypt/argon2; never log secrets.

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.
