M. Collina Node Skills — Setup Guide

Source: mcollina/skills GitHub: mcollina/skills Skills: 12 skills · 52.4K total installs Category: Node.js / Backend First Seen: catalogued August 17, 2026 evening sweep (fastify-best-practices on skills.sh since January 31, 2026) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production — authored by Matteo Collina (Fastify lead, Node.js TSC member); flagship passes all three security audits (3/3 Pass)

Matteo Collina's personal skill pack encodes two decades of Node.js core expertise: Fastify architecture patterns, Node.js core internals, and TypeScript discipline. fastify-best-practices at 36.4K installs is the canonical Fastify reference for coding agents, straight from the framework's own author.

Installation

npx skills add mcollina/skills

Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:

npx skills add https://github.com/mcollina/skills --skill fastify-best-practices

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Node.js + npx For the skill installer
Fastify or Node.js project For backend guidance; TypeScript optional for typescript-magician

What It Provides

Skill Installs Purpose
fastify-best-practices 36.4K Plugins, route handlers, TypeScript type stripping, inject testing, validation, serialization, error handling
node 4.8K Core Node.js patterns and runtime guidance
typescript-magician 2.1K TypeScript type-level patterns and tricks
nodejs-core 1.5K Node.js core module internals
documentation 1.4K API and project documentation workflows
oauth 1.1K OAuth flows and implementation patterns
skill-optimizer 1.1K Refining agent skills themselves
init / octocat / linting-neostandard-eslint9 / snipgrapher / node-best-practices ≤1K Project init, GitHub automation, ESLint 9 flat config, snippet extraction, Node guidance

The flagship includes a runnable minimal Fastify server scaffold with logger: true and covers the testing path via Fastify's built-in inject method — the author's own preferred patterns.

Quick Start

  1. Install: npx skills add mcollina/skills
  2. Ask: "scaffold a Fastify service following fastify-best-practices"
  3. The skill walks plugins, validation, and inject-based tests

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Backend authoring The canonical Fastify reference for any agent-built Node service
Skill authoring skill-optimizer improves our own skill drafts before they ship
Node.js depth nodejs-core fills gaps when agents work below framework level

Limitations / Verification

  • Security audits on fastify-best-practices: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Pass — all three clean
  • Publisher-page total verified (52.4K across 12 skills); repo at 1.9K GitHub stars
  • Fastify-focused — best for backend and API work, not frontend
  • Six of twelve skills are sub-1.1K installs — the suite's weight sits in fastify-best-practices and node
npx skills add mcollina/skills   # verify install works
