How does it handle backend security?

The skill includes standardized patterns for JWT authentication, role-based authorization (RBAC), and essential security middleware like Helmet and CORS.

Does this skill support both Express and Fastify?

Yes, it provides configuration and best practices for both minimalist Express.js setups and high-performance Fastify frameworks.

What architectural patterns are included?

It primarily focuses on Layered Architecture (Controller-Service-Repository) and Dependency Injection to ensure codebases remain maintainable and testable.

Can I use this for TypeScript projects?

Absolutely; all patterns and implementation examples are designed specifically for TypeScript to leverage type safety and modern syntax.
