node-conventions

What problem does it solve?

Node.js backend projects often drift in structure and patterns. This skill codifies a unified approach to project layout, configuration access, logging, routing, and error handling that improves maintainability and collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard project layout guidance for Express, Fastify, and Koa backends, including where to place entry points, routes, controllers, services, and tests.
• Configuration discipline: a single config module that reads from environment variables and feeds the application with a consistent set of runtime values.
• Logging and error handling: reuse the project's chosen logger and implement framework-appropriate error handling patterns.
• Use Case: when starting a new Node.js backend module, apply these conventions to ensure consistency and reduce onboarding time.

Quick Start

Create a new Node.js backend module that follows the prescribed project layout, config, and logging conventions.
