SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Scans a Node.js Express project to extract its architecture, routing patterns, middleware usage, and coding conventions, then generates a self-contained skill that can recreate those patterns in new projects as a generator. It optionally uses Repomix to pack the codebase for quick reference and also creates a .context/ directory for tool-agnostic AI tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

Extracts two-layer patterns: architecture-agnostic structure and Express/Node-specific implementations.
Generates a standalone skill (with SKILL.md, references/, and a .context/ folder) that creates new projects from a business idea.
Produces reference files for architecture, routes/controllers, models/validation, database, auth, services, and more.
Enables turning an existing Express project into a reusable template or generator to accelerate future projects.

Quick Start

Run the express-project-scanner on a path to an Express project to generate a reusable skill from its patterns.

FAQPage Schema

How do I extract Express architecture patterns from an existing Node.js project?▼

Generate a reusable code generator from an Express project by scanning its codebase to identify architecture-agnostic structures and Express-specific implementations, producing a standalone skill with reference files and a .context/ folder.

Can I turn my Express routing and middleware conventions into a template generator?▼

Yes, the scanner captures two-layer patterns separating architecture-agnostic structure from Express-specific implementations, ensuring placeholders in code samples for accurate template replication across new projects.

What is the best way to replicate coding conventions across multiple Node.js backends?▼

The best way to replicate coding conventions is to scan an existing Express project to generate a standalone skill that serves as a generator, complete with SKILL.md and reference files for architecture, routes, models, and services.

Does the express-project-scanner support packing the codebase for AI tooling reference?▼

Yes, the express-project-scanner optionally uses Repomix to pack the codebase for quick reference and creates a .context/ directory to support tool-agnostic AI tooling during project generation.
