Node.js development principles and decision-making. Framework selection, async patterns, security, and architecture. Teaches thinking, not copying.
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
# Node.js Best Practices
> Principles and decision-making for Node.js development in 2025.
> **Learn to THINK, not memorize code patterns.**
---
## ⚠️ How to Use This Skill
This skill teaches **decision-making principles**, not fixed code to copy.
- ASK user for preferences when unclear
- Choose framework/pattern based on CONTEXT
- Don't default to same solution every time
---
## 1. Framework Selection (2025)
### Decision Tree
```
What are you building?
│
├── Edge/Serverless (Cloudflare, Vercel)
│ └── Hono (zero-dependency, ultra-fast cold starts)
│
├── High Performance API
│ └── Fastify (2-3x faster than Express)
│
├── Enterprise/Team familiarity
│ └── NestJS (structured, DI, decorators)
│
├── Legacy/Stable/Maximum ecosystem
│ └── Express (mature, most middleware)
│
└── Full-stack with frontend
└── Next.js API Routes or tRPC
```
### Comparison Principles
| Factor | Hono | Fastify | Express |
|--------|------|---------|---------|
| **Best for** | Edge, serverless | Performance | Legacy, learning |
| **Cold start** | Fastest | Fast | Moderate |
| **Ecosystem** | Growing | Good | Largest |
| **TypeScript** | Native | Excellent | Good |

How to install
mdr add vodailocz/kilo-kit-mcp/nodejs-best-practices@sha256:e6d0dea6b638c867The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260502.38d5305, 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.
