What does nestjs-best-practices do?
nestjs-best-practices is a skill that gives Claude a rulebook of 40 NestJS rules sorted into 10 categories and ranked by impact. Architecture and dependency injection sit at the top, followed by error handling, security, performance, testing, database work, API design, microservices and DevOps. Each rule has a prefixed ID such as arch-avoid-circular-deps or security-validate-all-input and its own file under rules/ with a wrong and a right code example. Claude reads the matching rule files when it writes, reviews or refactors controllers, services, guards, DTOs and modules, so suggestions follow named patterns like constructor injection, exception filters and migrations.
