NestJS progressive Node.js framework for scalable server-side applications with TypeScript, dependency injection, modules, and decorators. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: nestjs, NestJS, nest.js, @nestjs, nest framework, nest backend. Also trigger when user wants to build scalable Node.js backends with dependency injection, create modular TypeScript APIs, implement microservices with Node.js, add GraphQL or WebSocket support to a Node server, or use decorator-based controllers and providers. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for Node.js backend tasks, use it.

development
High-throughput LLM inference and serving engine with PagedAttention, continuous batching, and OpenAI-compatible API. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: vLLM, vllm, LLM serving, LLM inference engine, PagedAttention. Also trigger when the user wants to serve LLMs in production, deploy models with tensor parallelism, use speculative decoding, quantize models for inference, build OpenAI-compatible API servers, or optimize LLM throughput and latency. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for LLM serving tasks, use it.
tools
Type-safe Python agent framework for building production-grade GenAI applications with Pydantic validation, structured outputs, and dependency injection. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: pydantic-ai, pydantic_ai, PydanticAI, pydantic ai agent. Also trigger when the user wants to build type-safe AI agents in Python, create structured LLM outputs with Pydantic models, implement dependency injection for agents, use tools/capabilities with LLMs, or build multi-agent systems with Python type safety. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for Python AI agent tasks, use it.
development
Durable execution platform for building fault-tolerant workflows, long-running processes, and resilient distributed applications. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: temporal, temporal.io, temporalio, durable execution, workflow orchestration engine. Also trigger when the user wants to build fault-tolerant workflows, implement saga patterns, create long-running distributed processes, orchestrate microservices with retries and timeouts, or build durable AI agent pipelines. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for workflow orchestration or durable execution tasks, use it.
tools
AI framework for building RAG pipelines, agents, workflows, and data-augmented LLM applications with 300+ integrations. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: llamaindex, llama-index, llama_index, LlamaIndex, VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader, LlamaHub, LlamaParse. Also trigger when the user wants to build RAG applications with LlamaIndex, create document indexing pipelines, build agentic workflows with tool calling, implement structured data extraction from documents, or connect LLMs to custom data sources. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for RAG, document indexing, or LLM data augmentation tasks, use it.
