Node skill

Guides development of Fastify Node.js backend servers and REST APIs using TypeScript or JavaScript. Use when building, configuring, or debugging a Fastify application — including defining routes, implementing plugins, setting up JSON Schema validation, handling errors, optimising performance, managing authentication, configuring CORS and security headers, integrating databases, working with WebSockets, and deploying to production. Covers the full Fastify request lifecycle (hooks, serialization, logging with Pino) and TypeScript integration via strip types. Trigger terms: Fastify, Node.js server, REST API, API routes, backend framework, fastify.config, server.ts, app.ts.

Creates, structures, and reviews technical documentation following the Diátaxis framework (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, and explanation pages). Use when a user needs to write or reorganize docs, structure a tutorial vs. a how-to guide, build reference docs or API documentation, create explanation pages, choose between Diátaxis documentation types, or improve existing documentation structure. Trigger terms include: documentation structure, Diátaxis, tutorials vs how-to guides, organize docs, user guide, reference docs, technical writing.

Creates, updates, or optimizes an AGENTS.md file for a repository with minimal, high-signal instructions covering non-discoverable coding conventions, tooling quirks, workflow preferences, and project-specific rules that agents cannot infer from reading the codebase. Use when setting up agent instructions or Claude configuration for a new repository, when an existing AGENTS.md is too long, generic, or stale, when agents repeatedly make avoidable mistakes, or when repository workflows have changed and the agent configuration needs pruning. Applies a discoverability filter—omitting anything Claude can learn from README, code, config, or directory structure—and a quality gate to verify each line remains accurate and operationally significant.

Configures ESLint v9 flat config and neostandard for JavaScript and TypeScript projects, including migrating from legacy `.eslintrc*` files or the `standard` package. Use when you need to set up or fix linting with `eslint.config.js` or `eslint.config.mjs`, troubleshoot lint errors, configure neostandard rules, migrate from `.eslintrc` to flat config, or integrate linting into CI pipelines and pre-commit hooks.

Contributes to and debugs Node.js core, including nodejs/node commit and PR tone, contribution workflows, native crashes, V8 performance, node-gyp builds, N-API bindings, and libuv issues. Use when drafting or reviewing a Node.js core commit or pull request, working in nodejs/node, or diagnosing C++ addons, binding.gyp failures, segfaults, native leaks, V8 deoptimizations, and event-loop internals.

Implements OAuth 2.0/2.1 authorization flows in Fastify applications — configures authorization code with PKCE, client credentials, device flow, refresh token rotation, JWT validation, and token introspection/revocation endpoints. Use when setting up authentication, authorization, login flows, access tokens, API security, or securing Fastify routes with OAuth; also applies when troubleshooting token validation errors, mismatched redirect URIs, CSRF issues, scope problems, or RFC 6749/6750/7636/8252/8628 compliance questions.

Use this skill whenever the prompt contains any `github.com` URL, even if the user only pastes a link and gives no GitHub-specific keywords. Handles git and GitHub operations using the gh CLI. Triggers include any GitHub link to an issue, pull request, commit, compare page, Actions run, release, discussion, or repository. Covers creating and reviewing PRs, repository security advisories (GHSA), their comments, and fix PRs in their temporary private forks, private vulnerability report discussions, watching CI checks, interactive rebasing, branch cleanup, submodule management, and repository archaeology with git log/blame/bisect.

Optimizes AI skills for activation, clarity, and cross-model reliability. Use when creating or editing skill packs, diagnosing weak skill uptake, reducing regressions, tuning instruction salience, improving examples, shrinking context cost, or setting benchmark/release gates for skills. Trigger terms: skill optimization, activation gap, benchmark skill, with/without skill delta, regression, context budget, prompt salience.
