nodejs
Node.js server development patterns including async patterns, error handling, and security best practices.
Best use case
nodejs is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Node.js server development patterns including async patterns, error handling, and security best practices.
Teams using nodejs should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Node.js Best Practices ## Project Structure - src/ for source code - src/lib/ for utilities - src/types/ for TypeScript types - tests/ for test files - Keep entry point minimal ## Async Patterns - Use async/await everywhere - Handle all promise rejections - Use Promise.all for parallel tasks - Use Promise.allSettled when all must complete - Set timeouts for external calls - Use AbortController for cancellation ## Error Handling - Use centralized error handler - Create custom error classes - Log errors with context (request ID, user) - Return appropriate status codes - Never expose stack traces in production ## Environment - Use dotenv for local config - Validate env variables at startup (envalid) - Use different configs per environment - Never commit secrets - Use secret managers in production ## Security - Validate all input (Zod, Joi) - Use helmet for HTTP headers - Rate limit APIs (express-rate-limit) - Keep dependencies updated (npm audit) - Use npm/yarn lockfiles ## Performance - Use clustering for multi-core - Enable gzip compression - Implement caching (Redis) - Use connection pooling - Profile with clinic.js
