Individual skill
nginx-config-pro
Generates and hardens production nginx configurations for reverse proxying with TLS termination, HTTP/2, response caching, rate limiting, gzip/brotli compression, and security headers. Use this skill when the user asks to "set up nginx as a reverse proxy", "add TLS/SSL to nginx", "configure nginx caching or rate limiting", "harden an nginx config", "proxy an app behind nginx", "fix nginx 502/504 errors", or write/review nginx.conf and server blocks.

# nginx-config-pro
## Overview
Authoritative guidance for writing secure, performant nginx reverse-proxy configurations. Produces server blocks that terminate TLS, speak HTTP/2, proxy to upstream applications, cache responses, throttle abusive clients, and compress payloads — without the footguns that cause 502s, header leaks, or weak ciphers.
**Keywords:** nginx, reverse proxy, TLS, SSL, HTTPS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, certbot, Let's Encrypt, upstream, proxy_pass, gzip, brotli, rate limiting, limit_req, proxy_cache, security headers, HSTS, CSP, OCSP stapling, websocket, load balancing, 502 bad gateway, 504 gateway timeout.
This skill targets nginx 1.18+ (most directives work on 1.10+). HTTP/3 notes assume 1.25+.
## When to use
- Standing up nginx in front of an app server (Node, Django/gunicorn, Rails/puma, PHP-FPM, a container).
- Adding or fixing TLS, redirects, or HSTS.
