SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers make informed decisions about Node.js frameworks, runtime configurations, architectural patterns, and best practices, ensuring efficient, secure, and maintainable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework Selection: Guides choosing the right framework (Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Express) based on project needs (edge, performance, enterprise, legacy).
  • Runtime & Module System: Advises on native TypeScript, ESM vs. CommonJS, and runtime choices (Node.js, Bun, Deno).
  • Architecture & Security: Promotes layered structures, robust error handling, and security checklists.
  • Use Case: A developer is starting a new high-performance API project and needs to decide between Fastify and Express. This Skill provides a decision tree and comparison principles to guide their choice.

Quick Start

Use the nodejs-best-practices skill to help decide which Node.js framework to use for a new edge computing project.
