nestjs-patterns
NestJS architecture patterns for modules, controllers, providers, DTO validation, guards, interceptors, config, and production-grade TypeScript backends.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill nestjs-patterns --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# NestJS Development Patterns Production-grade NestJS patterns for modular TypeScript backends. ## When to Activate - Building NestJS APIs or services - Structuring modules, controllers, and providers - Adding DTO validation, guards, interceptors, or exception filters - Configuring environment-aware settings and database integrations - Testing NestJS units or HTTP endpoints ## Project Structure ```text src/ ├── app.module.ts ├── main.ts ├── common/ │ ├── filters/ │ ├── guards/ │ ├── interceptors/ │ └── pipes/ ├── config/ │ ├── configuration.ts │ └── validation.ts ├── modules/ │ ├── auth/ │ │ ├── auth.controller.ts │ │ ├── auth.module.ts │ │ ├── auth.service.ts │ │ ├── dto/ │ │ ├── guards/ │ │ └── strategies/ │ └── users/ │ ├── dto/ │ ├── entities/ │ ├── users.controller.ts │ ├── users.module.ts │ └── users.service.ts └── prisma/ or database/ ``` - Keep domain code inside feature modules. - Put cross-cutting filters, decorators, guards, and interceptors in `common/`. - Keep DTOs close to the module that owns them. ## Bootstrap and Global Validation ```ts async function bootstrap() { const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, { bufferLogs: true }); app.useGlobalPipes( new Valida

What does the nestjs-patterns skill do?
NestJS architecture patterns for modules, controllers, providers, DTO validation, guards, interceptors, config, and production-grade TypeScript backends.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill nestjs-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
