The skill generates matching validation logic using class-validator for NestJS and Zod for Next.js, ensuring that the data structures and constraints are identical on both sides of the contract.

Yes, it provides standardized Pagination DTOs and Meta types to ensure that list-based responses are handled consistently across all your API endpoints.

Question 5

What happens if my backend uses a different language?
