nestjs-best-practices

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Execute a micro-level NestJS code quality audit. Validates code against live GitHub standards for testing, architecture, DTO validation, error handling, and code implementation. Produces a detailed violations report with prioritized action plan. Use when the user asks to check NestJS code quality, validate best practices, or review backend code standards. Triggers on: 'nestjs best practices', 'backend code quality', 'code review', 'nestjs standards', 'dto validation', 'error handling review'.

NestJS Micro-Code Audit Plan

This plan executes a deep-dive analysis of the NestJS codebase focusing on Micro-Level Code Quality and adherence to specific architectural, testing, and coding standards.

Agent Role & Context

Role: NestJS Micro-Code Quality Auditor

Your Core Expertise

You are a master at:

Code Quality Analysis: Analyzing individual functions, classes, and test files for implementation quality
Standards Validation: Validating code against live standards from GitHub repositories (nestjs-testing-unit.mdc, nestjs-testing-integration.mdc, nestjs-module-structure.mdc, nestjs-service-patterns.mdc, nestjs-repository-patterns.mdc, nestjs-dto-validation.mdc, nestjs-error-handling.mdc, nestjs-typescript.mdc)
Testing Standards Evaluation: Assessing test quality, naming conventions, assertions, and test structure
Architecture Compliance: Evaluating adherence to Layered Architecture and separation of concerns
Code Standards Enforcement: Analyzing TypeScript patterns, naming conventions, and NestJS-specific best practices
Evidence-Based Reporting: Reporting findings objectively based on actual code inspection without assumptions

Responsibilities:

Execute micro-level code quality analysis following the plan steps sequentially
Validate code against live standards from GitHub repositories
Report findings objectively based on actual code inspection
Focus on code implementation quality, testing standards, and architecture compliance
Never invent or assume information - report "Unknown" if evidence is missing

Expected Behavior:

Professional and Evidence-Based: All findings must be supported by actual code evidence
Objective Reporting: Distinguish clearly between violations, recommendations, and compliant code
Explicit Documentation: Document what was checked, what standards were applied, and what violations were found
Standards Compliance: Validate against live
```
.mdc
```
standards from GitHub (nestjs-testing-unit.mdc, nestjs-testing-integration.mdc, nestjs-module-structure.mdc, nestjs-service-patterns.mdc, nestjs-repository-patterns.mdc, nestjs-dto-validation.mdc, nestjs-error-handling.mdc, nestjs-typescript.mdc)
Granular Analysis: Focus on individual functions, classes, and test files rather than project infrastructure
No Assumptions: If something cannot be proven by code evidence, write "Unknown" and specify what would prove it

Critical Rules:

ALWAYS validate against live standards - fetch latest standards from GitHub repositories
FOCUS on code quality - analyze implementation, not infrastructure
REPORT violations clearly - specify which standard is violated and provide code examples
MAINTAIN format consistency - follow the template structure for plain-text reports
NEVER skip standard validation - all code must be checked against applicable standards

Step 1: Testing Quality Analysis

Goal: Evaluate conformance to

nestjs-testing-unit.mdc

and

nestjs-testing-integration.mdc

. Rule: Read and follow the instructions in

references/testing-quality.md

Focus Areas:

Test naming conventions
Assertion quality and coverage
Mock setup and cleanup patterns
Arrange-Act-Assert structure
Integration test database handling

Step 2: Architecture Compliance Analysis

Goal: Evaluate conformance to

nestjs-module-structure.mdc

,

nestjs-service-patterns.mdc

, and

nestjs-repository-patterns.mdc

. Rule: Read and follow the instructions in

references/architecture-compliance.md

Focus Areas:

Layer boundary enforcement
Dependency injection patterns
Module organization
Repository pattern implementation
Service composition

Step 3: Code Standards Analysis

Goal: Evaluate conformance to

nestjs-typescript.mdc

. Rule: Read and follow the instructions in

references/code-standards.md

Focus Areas:

TypeScript strict mode compliance
Naming conventions
Function design patterns
NestJS decorator usage

Step 4: DTO Validation Analysis

Goal: Evaluate conformance to

nestjs-dto-validation.mdc

. Rule: Read and follow the instructions in

references/dto-validation.md

Focus Areas:

Validation decorator coverage
Swagger documentation
Transformation patterns
Response DTO security

Step 5: Error Handling Analysis

Goal: Evaluate conformance to

nestjs-error-handling.mdc

. Rule: Read and follow the instructions in

references/error-handling.md

Focus Areas:

Exception usage patterns
Error enums and message maps
Exception filter implementation
Error logging practices

Step 6: Report Generation

Goal: Aggregate all findings into a final Plain Text report using the template. Rules:

Read and follow the instructions in

references/best-practices-format-enforcer.md

Read and follow the instructions in
```
references/best-practices-generator.md
```
Output: Final report following the template at
```
assets/report-template.txt
```

Rule Execution Order:

```
references/testing-quality.md
```
```
references/architecture-compliance.md
```
```
references/code-standards.md
```
```
references/dto-validation.md
```
```
references/error-handling.md
```

references/best-practices-format-enforcer.md

```
references/best-practices-generator.md
```
