GoDaddy Node.js Hosting - Agent Skill

Open source Agent Skill for building and adapting Node.js apps on GoDaddy Node.js Hosting (PaaS).

Supports npm, pnpm, and yarn.

Repository: github.com/godaddy/nodejs-hosting-agent-skill - the repo ships tests and docs. The installable skill is skills/godaddy-nodejs-hosting (skill id: godaddy-nodejs-hosting).

Quick start

1. Install the skill - see docs/INSTALL.md:

   npx skills add godaddy/nodejs-hosting-agent-skill

   Claude Code: enable Claude Code in the installer's agent picker (easy to miss), or:

   npx skills add godaddy/nodejs-hosting-agent-skill --skill godaddy-nodejs-hosting -g -a claude-code

   Or symlink / marketplace when listed.
2. Open your app folder in your editor of choice (not this repo).
3. Invoke @godaddy-nodejs-hosting and ask it to prepare the project for Node.js Hosting (build or adapt).
4. Validate before upload (optional; requires Node.js):

   npm run validate -- /path/to/your-app

The skill includes workflows for new apps and existing repos, framework recipes, and a deploy contract enforced by validate-paas.mjs.

Using Without Agent Skills

If your tool does not support Agent Skills (e.g. Claude.ai or a generic chat), copy CLAUDE.md into your app’s project root and ask the model to follow it.
