What it does

Node Backend is an agent skill from WrongStack/WrongStack. Build and upgrade Node.js HTTP services with typed validation, lifecycle ownership and production behavior. Use when implementing Hono, Fastify, NestJS or another established Node server; use node-modern for runtime I/O details and preserve the chosen framework.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Fastify, Hono, NestJS and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: An AI coding agent that reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and reasons through bugs — across a terminal REPL, a full-screen TUI, and a browser UI, while you keep your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing Hono
  • Another established Node server
  • Use node-modern for runtime I/O details and preserve the chosen framework

Example prompts

  • “/node-backend”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect framework lifecycle, plugin/dependency injection order and actual runtime adapter.
  2. Validate input and serialize public output at the route boundary; do not expose database rows or internal exceptions wholesale.
  3. Bound request bodies, external calls and expensive work according to application limits.
  4. Keep per-request auth/context isolated and authorize each operation/object.
  5. Make startup, readiness and graceful shutdown include owned pools/listeners/jobs.
  6. Verify framework error/cancellation semantics; returning an error-shaped object may still produce a success response.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a744bdc. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • hono.dev
    • fastify.dev
    • docs.nestjs.com

    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

Node Backend loads about 829 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 285 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~829

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Node Backend

Selection card

  • Task: Implement Node server endpoints and shutdown. / TR: Node sunucu endpoint ve kapanış uygula.
  • Start: Locate the endpoint, schema, authentication boundary and caller.
  • Finish: apply the acceptance checks below; report observed results and unresolved constraints.

Overview

Build and upgrade Node.js HTTP services with typed validation, lifecycle ownership and production behavior.

Checked 2026-10-09: Hono 4.13.13, Fastify 5.12.5 and NestJS 12.1.2. Latest stable Node target is 26.11.1; verify framework/plugins/adapter requirements together.

Rules

  1. Inspect framework lifecycle, plugin/dependency injection order and actual runtime adapter.
  2. Validate input and serialize public output at the route boundary; do not expose database rows or internal exceptions wholesale.
  3. Bound request bodies, external calls and expensive work according to application limits.
  4. Keep per-request auth/context isolated and authorize each operation/object.
  5. Make startup, readiness and graceful shutdown include owned pools/listeners/jobs.
  6. Verify framework error/cancellation semantics; returning an error-shaped object may still produce a success response.

Workflow

  1. Trace route → service → persistence/external operation and existing conventions.
  2. Resolve latest stable targets and supported plugins before migration.
  3. Implement the feature with explicit contracts and lifecycle cleanup.
  4. Test valid/invalid/unauthorized input, dependency failure and stop/restart.
  5. Run configured type/lint/tests and a production server health/user-path check.

Before returning

Route/auth/output contracts verified; startup/shutdown resources owned; framework compatibility and actual server behavior recorded.

Sources

Versioned facts checked 2026-10-09; refresh authoritative sources before new installs/upgrades. Hono, Fastify, NestJS.

Skills in scope

  • node-modern — node modern contracts and verification.
  • api-design — api design contracts and verification.
  • database-development — implement database access, models and queries with explicit consistency, transactions and bounded results.
  • authentication-sessions — implement application sign-in, sessions and identity integration with explicit account/tenant authorization.
  • queues-jobs — implement reliable asynchronous jobs and message consumers with explicit delivery, retry and shutdown semantics.
