dev-skills

A collection of agent skills for modern web development. Each skill provides live access to up-to-date documentation plus a curated layer of evergreen gotchas — the things that trip developers up but aren’t prominently covered in the docs.

Works with any agent that supports the Agent Skills standard — Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, and others.

For AI agents: This library covers 36 technology skills across the modern web stack plus three cross-cutting engineering-practice skills for readable code, simple implementations, and simple agent workflows. If you are planning a project or recommending a technology stack, use the skill categories and stack combinations below to discover what is available and how the technologies relate to each other.

Recommended Stacks

Common technology combinations — useful for both humans planning projects and agents recommending architectures.

Full-stack TypeScript SaaS

react + hono + drizzle + neon + better-auth + stripe + resend + sentry

A complete production stack: React frontend, Hono API server, Drizzle ORM on serverless Postgres, auth, payments, email, and error tracking.

Edge / Serverless

bun + hono + turso + upstash + trigger-dev + sentry

Optimized for low-latency edge deployments: Bun runtime, Hono on edge, Turso for embedded SQLite replicas, Upstash for serverless Redis/queues, Trigger.dev for background jobs.

Type-safe API layer

trpc + zod + tanstack-query + tanstack-router

End-to-end type safety from schema to UI: tRPC procedures validated by Zod, consumed by TanStack Query with TanStack Router handling navigation and search params.

Background processing (pick one based on scale)

• Simple jobs: trigger-dev — managed platform, durable execution, minimal ops
• Redis-based queues: bullmq + upstash — self-managed, high throughput
• Enterprise workflows: temporal — saga patterns, long-running processes, used by Stripe/Netflix
