About
This skill equips Claude with deep architectural knowledge of Payload CMS, the TypeScript-first, Next.js native headless CMS. It provides immediate access to best practices for building robust backends, ranging from simple collection definitions to complex row-level security and hook-based business logic. It specifically focuses on preventing common production pitfalls, such as Local API access control bypasses and transaction failures in hooks, ensuring your CMS implementation is both secure and performant. Whether you are architecting a new project or debugging relationship queries, this skill provides the context needed for production-grade Payload development.
