  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads mongoose-mongodb automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Mongoose & MongoDB Skill

Master MongoDB database integration in Node.js with Mongoose, the elegant object modeling library.

Quick Start

Connect and CRUD in 4 steps:

  1. Install - npm install mongoose
  2. Connect - mongoose.connect(uri)
  3. Define Schema - Create data models
  4. CRUD - Create, Read, Update, Delete

Core Concepts

Connection Setup

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true
});

mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
  console.log('MongoDB connected');
});

Schema & Model

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Name is required'],
    trim: true,
    minlength: 3,
    maxlength: 50
  },
  email: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    unique: true,
    lowercase: true
  },
  age: {
    type: Number,
    min: 18,
    max: 120
  },
  role: {
    type: String,
    enum: ['user', 'admin'],
    default: 'user'
  }
}, {
  timestamps: true  // createdAt, updatedAt
});

const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);

CRUD Operations

// Create
const user = await User.create({
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john@example.com'
});

// Read
const users = await User.find({ age: { $gte: 18 } });
const user = await User.findById(id);
const user = await User.findOne({ email: 'john@example.com' });

// Update
const updated = await User.findByIdAndUpdate(
  id,
  { name: 'Jane Doe' },
  { new: true, runValidators: true }
);

// Delete
await User.findByIdAndDelete(id);
await User.deleteMany({ age: { $lt: 18 } });

Relationships & Population

const postSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: String,
  content: String,
  author: {
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    ref: 'User'
  }
});

// Populate relationship
const post = await Post.findById(id).populate('author');
// post.author is now full user object

Learning Path

Beginner (2-3 weeks)

  • ✅ Install MongoDB and Mongoose
  • ✅ Create schemas and models
  • ✅ CRUD operations
  • ✅ Basic queries

Intermediate (4-5 weeks)

  • ✅ Relationships and population
  • ✅ Validation and middleware
  • ✅ Indexes for performance
  • ✅ Query operators

Advanced (6-8 weeks)

  • ✅ Aggregation pipelines
  • ✅ Transactions
  • ✅ Schema design patterns
  • ✅ Performance optimization

Advanced Features

Indexes

userSchema.index({ email: 1 }, { unique: true });
userSchema.index({ name: 1, age: -1 });

Middleware (Hooks)

userSchema.pre('save', async function(next) {
  if (this.isModified('password')) {
    this.password = await bcrypt.hash(this.password, 10);
  }
  next();
});

Virtual Properties

userSchema.virtual('fullName').get(function() {
  return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
});

Aggregation Pipeline

const stats = await User.aggregate([
  { $match: { age: { $gte: 18 } } },
  { $group: {
    _id: '$role',
    count: { $sum: 1 },
    avgAge: { $avg: '$age' }
  }},
  { $sort: { count: -1 } }
]);

Query Operators

// Comparison
User.find({ age: { $gt: 18 } })     // Greater than
User.find({ age: { $gte: 18 } })    // Greater or equal
User.find({ age: { $lt: 65 } })     // Less than
User.find({ age: { $lte: 65 } })    // Less or equal
User.find({ age: { $ne: 30 } })     // Not equal

// Logical
User.find({ $and: [{ age: { $gte: 18 } }, { age: { $lte: 65 } }] })
User.find({ $or: [{ role: 'admin' }, { role: 'moderator' }] })

// Array
User.find({ tags: { $in: ['node', 'mongodb'] } })
User.find({ tags: { $nin: ['deprecated'] } })

// Regex
User.find({ email: /gmail\.com$/ })

Best Practices

  • ✅ Use environment variables for connection strings
  • ✅ Create indexes for frequently queried fields
  • ✅ Use lean() for read-only queries (better performance)
  • ✅ Validate data at schema level
  • ✅ Use transactions for multi-document operations
  • ✅ Handle connection errors properly
  • ✅ Close connections on app shutdown

When to Use

Use MongoDB with Mongoose when:

  • Building Node.js applications
  • Need flexible schema (document-based)
  • Handling large volumes of data
  • Rapid prototyping and iteration
  • Working with JSON-like data

  • JWT Authentication (store users)
  • Jest Testing (test database operations)

Popular data & databases skills

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
