nestjs SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

nestjs from alexander-danilenko/cortex-ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Opinionated house conventions for NestJS backends — module boundaries and layering, provider wiring and injection scopes, guards/interceptors/pipes/filters, DTOs and validation, domain exceptions, config, and the Nest 11 / Express 5 behaviour that compiles cleanly and fails at runtime. Use whenever the code is NestJS (`@nestjs/*` in package.json, or `@Module`/`@Injectable`/`@Controller`/`@Cron` in the file), including when the question sounds like plain TypeScript, an OOP refactor, a code…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NestJS

House conventions for NestJS backends on v11 / Express 5. Apply them to code you are writing or changing — don't restructure untouched modules unless asked.

Examples throughout use an invented shipment domain purely to make the shape concrete. Read the structure, not the names.

## Layering

Two layers, and the dependency arrow points one way only.

```text
core/   domain + infrastructure. No controllers, no HTTP.        → core only
app/    features. Controllers, DTOs, guards, middleware, CQRS.   → app + core
```

A core module that needs to reach into a feature is telling you the concept it owns sits in the wrong layer — move the concept down rather than importing upward. Keeping the arrow honest is what lets a core module be driven by an HTTP request, a cron job, a CLI, or a queue consumer without dragging a controller along.

## Always apply

These hold for nearly every change, so they live here rather than behind a reference:

- **A module owns one domain, and its root barrel exports only the `.module.ts`.** A provider that isn't exported can be refactored freely; one that is becomes public API.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexander-danilenko/cortex-ai-skills/nestjs@sha256:e49cceebc2fdd132

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.ecfffa1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
