What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of structured, type-safe Node.js backend APIs using TypeScript, Express/Fastify, Prisma ORM, and Zod validation. It enforces strict conventions, eliminates boilerplate, and ensures scalable, error-resilient backend services, tailored for Node.js projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• TypeScript Strict Mode: Generates projects with full TypeScript strictness, ensuring type-safety across the entire codebase.
• Prisma ORM Integration: Sets up Prisma Client singleton, manages database schemas, and provides best practices for data access.
• Zod Validation & Error Handling: Implements Zod for robust input validation and standardizes error handling with custom middleware.
• Service Layer for Business Logic: Promotes thin controllers and fat services, ensuring business logic is isolated, testable, and reusable.
• Use Case: Ask the AI "Create a Node.js Express API for managing products with Prisma and Zod validation" and it will generate the necessary routes, services, models, and middleware, all following strict architectural guidelines.

Quick Start

Create a new Node.js Express backend with a /products API endpoint that supports creating and listing products, including Zod validation.
