NestJS framework best practices and production patterns. Use whenever working with NestJS — creating modules, controllers, services, DTOs, guards, interceptors, pipes, middleware, or building REST/GraphQL/microservice APIs. Also use when setting up authentication, authorization, validation, queues, health checks, WebSockets, caching, or any @nestjs/* package. Even for simple NestJS tasks, this skill ensures correct import paths, proper decorator usage, and production-ready patterns. Covers NestJS v11 with Express v5, native JWT auth, Zod validation, Keyv caching, and Suites testing.
Use when facing complex decisions, architectural trade-offs, philosophical questions, or any problem requiring deep analysis before action. Use when the user asks to "think deeply", "question assumptions", "analyze from first principles", "challenge this decision", debates between two approaches (e.g. monolith vs microservices, build vs buy, SSR vs CSR), or invokes /socrates. Also triggered when other skills need a thinking engine for rigorous pre-analysis. Even if the problem seems simple, if there are hidden assumptions worth examining, this skill applies.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design system architecture", "evaluate microservices vs monolith", "create architecture diagrams", "analyze dependencies", "choose a database", "plan for scalability", "make technical decisions", or "review system design". Use for architecture decision records (ADRs), tech stack evaluation, system design reviews, dependency analysis, and generating architecture diagrams in Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII format.
Implement production-ready service mesh deployments with Istio, Linkerd, or Cilium. Configure mTLS, authorization policies, traffic routing, and progressive delivery patterns for secure, observable microservices. Use when setting up service-to-service communication, implementing zero-trust security, or enabling canary deployments.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design REST APIs", "optimize database queries", "implement authentication", "build microservices", "review backend code", "set up GraphQL", "handle database migrations", or "load test APIs". Use for Node.js/Express/Fastify development, PostgreSQL optimization, API security, and backend architecture patterns.
Modern Go Web application architecture guide. Use when creating new Go web projects, APIs, or microservices. Covers project structure, tech stack selection, and best practices based on Go standards.
Node.js backend patterns: framework selection, layered architecture, TypeScript, validation, error handling, security, production deployment. Use when building REST APIs, Express/Fastify servers, microservices, or server-side TypeScript.
Grafana Mimir scalable long-term metrics storage. Covers architecture (distributor/ingester/compactor/querier/ query-frontend/store-gateway/ruler), deployment modes (monolithic/microservices), configuration, Prometheus remote write, PromQL querying, multi-tenancy, compaction, and operations. Use when working with Mimir for metrics storage, scaling Prometheus, configuring Mimir clusters, writing PromQL, or debugging Mimir.
Design and optimize systems for high concurrency, throughput, scalability, and elastic scale—concurrency models (threads, async/await, actors), lock-free patterns, connection pooling, caching stampede mitigation, horizontal scaling, load balancing, backpressure, queueing, rate limiting, bulkheads, read replicas, sharding, pool tuning, profiling, capacity planning, SLO-driven autoscaling, multi-region and CDN edge architecture. Use when the user asks about high concurrency, scalability, throughput, horizontal scaling, connection pooling, backpressure, rate limiting, caching stampede, read replica, sharding, autoscaling, capacity planning, lock contention, async scalability, or load balancing—not service decomposition (microservices-developer), event buses only (event-driven-architecture), generic CRUD (senior-software-engineer), SRE on-call only (site-reliability-engineer), load tests without architecture (performance-engineer), or cost-only FinOps (cloud-economist).
Apply cloud-native architecture patterns. Use when designing for scalability, resilience, or cloud deployment. Covers microservices, containers, and distributed systems.
Expert GraphQL developer specializing in type-safe API development, schema design, resolver optimization, and federation architecture. Use when building GraphQL APIs, implementing Apollo Server, optimizing query performance, or designing federated microservices.
Expert guidance for building production-ready FastAPI applications with modular architecture where each business domain is an independent module with own routes, models, schemas, services, cache, and migrations. Uses UV + pyproject.toml for modern Python dependency management, project name subdirectory for clean workspace organization, structlog (JSON+colored logging), pydantic-settings configuration, auto-discovery module loader, async SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL, per-module Alembic migrations, Redis/memory cache with module-specific namespaces, central httpx client, OpenTelemetry/Prometheus observability, conversation ID tracking (X-Conversation-ID header+cookie), conditional Keycloak/app-based RBAC authentication, DDD/clean code principles, and automation scripts for rapid module development. Use when user requests FastAPI project setup, modular architecture, independent module development, microservice architecture, async database operations, caching strategies, logging patterns, configuration management, authentication systems, observability implementation, or enterprise Python web services. Supports max 3-4 route nesting depth, cache invalidation patterns, inter-module communication via service layer, and comprehensive error handling workflows.
