Node.js Development Skill

Use When

• Production Node.js development — async patterns, streams, design patterns, HTTP APIs, testing, scaling, and deployment. Synthesised from Node.js Design Patterns (Casciaro & Mammino 3rd ed.), Node.js Recipes (Gackenheimer), Fullstack Node.js (Murray), and Node.js Fundamentals. Use when building scalable servers, REST APIs, CLI tools, real-time systems, or fullstack JavaScript applications.
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to nodejs-development or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.

Required Inputs

• Gather relevant project context, constraints, and the concrete problem to solve; load references only as needed.
• Confirm the desired deliverable: design, code, review, migration plan, audit, or documentation.
