Does this skill support TypeScript?

Yes, all patterns and examples are designed specifically for TypeScript to ensure full type safety across routes, controllers, and services.

What validation library is recommended with this skill?

The skill utilizes Zod for robust, schema-based input validation, ensuring data integrity and providing clear error messages before data reaches your business logic.

How does it handle API security?

The skill implements industry-standard security best practices including Helmet for secure headers, CORS configuration, and JWT-based authentication middleware.

Is this skill suitable for existing Express projects?

Absolutely. While it's great for new projects, the modular patterns for routers and controllers are specifically designed to help organize and clean up existing Express codebases.
