What it does

Build, refactor, or review Node.js services, CLIs, and tooling with package-manager fidelity, module-system compatibility, async cancellation, configuration validation, and stream-safe I/O. Use for Node runtime or package work.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, and here they are in full: the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

8## 使用范围
9
10用于 Node.js 服务、命令行工具、构建脚本和运行时故障。先检查 package.json、锁文件、Node 版本、模块类型和现有脚本;不得跨包管理器生成锁文件或升级依赖,除非任务明确要求。
11
12## 工作方式
13
14- 按项目已有的 ESM 或 CommonJS 形式组织导入与导出,不混用只在某一模块系统可用的加载方式。变更模块边界时检查测试、CLI 入口和发布产物。
15- 读取环境变量后尽早校验和归一化配置;不要把密钥写进代码、日志、示例配置或错误信息。区分启动期配置错误与请求期用户错误。
16- 对网络、文件和子进程操作设置超时、取消或退出路径。捕获错误时保留原因链,并在库代码中把错误交给调用方决定如何呈现。
17- 大文件、网络响应和管道优先使用 stream 并处理 backpressure;不要把未知大小的输入无条件读入内存。
18- 修改 package.json 的 scripts、exports、bin、engines 或 workspace 配置前,检查它们的调用者和发布影响。开发工具与运行时依赖保持恰当分层。
19- 复用项目现有测试命令,并覆盖异步失败、取消、资源清理和 CLI 非零退出码。需要真实服务的集成测试必须隔离端口、数据和凭据。

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈70
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
405
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.24%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 2% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

475 tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Small enough to keep loaded permanently without thinking about it.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md, shown in full above.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 1.9 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md1.9 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Node.js Engineering · 475 tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/node-js-engineering/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/node-js-engineering" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/node-js-engineering ] || { mv .claude/skills/node-js-engineering "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/node-js-engineering" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/node-js-engineering"

npx mcprush@latest skill add weiweimhy/node-js-engineering

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/node-js-engineering/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/node-js-engineering/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/node-js-engineering" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/node-js-engineering ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/node-js-engineering "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/node-js-engineering" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/node-js-engineering" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/node-js-engineering/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as nodejs in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, node-js-engineering.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
