What it does
Nestjs Best Practices is an agent skill from rolling-scopes/rsschool-app. NestJS best practices and architecture patterns for building production-ready applications. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring NestJS code to ensure proper patterns for modules, dependency injection, security, and performance.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 53 other files, including scripts (for example `.github/workflows/branch-protection.yml`, `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` and `AGENTS.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Design patterns, Software architecture and Refactoring. It works with NestJS. The repository describes itself as: An application for the RS School education process. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Design patterns
- Tasks that involve Software architecture
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
Example prompts
- “Use the nestjs-best-practices skill to nestj best practices and architecture patterns for building production-ready applications”
- “/nestjs-best-practices”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f741ad2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Nestjs Best Practices loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
