基于 SOC 职业分类
Run a scored, converge-or-cap code-review loop on a diff or surface — a read-only critic raises evidence-backed findings, a read-write fixer addresses only those findings, then re-audit until two clean rounds or a cap. Use when reviewing a PR, hardening a changed file, or iterating to a clean bill of health without reward-hacking.
Implement product analytics for SaaS applications using PostHog or similar — event tracking, funnels, retention cohorts, feature adoption metrics, and dashboard wiring. Use when building analytics, event tracking, metrics, conversion, retention, or PostHog integration features.
Implement production-ready authentication for SaaS applications — email/password, OAuth social login (Google, GitHub), session management, JWT handling, password reset, email verification, and magic links. Use when building signup, sign-in, login, signup, password reset, or any auth-related feature.
Implement SaaS billing logic — pricing plans, usage metering, quota enforcement, free trials, plan upgrades and downgrades, prorations, and dunning. Use when building billing, plan, quota, trial, upgrade, downgrade, or subscription-management features (works alongside saas-payments for the Stripe integration layer).
Implement multi-tenancy in SaaS applications — organisation/workspace isolation, row-level security (RLS), tenant routing, role-based access control, and tenant lifecycle management. Use when building tenant, organisation, workspace, RLS, or multi-tenant data-isolation features.
Build SaaS user onboarding flows — multi-step wizards, progress tracking, activation milestones, product tours, empty-state guidance, and time-to-value optimisation. Use when building onboarding, wizard, activation, product tour, or first-run experience features.

Implement reliable transactional email delivery for SaaS applications including templating, queuing, delivery tracking, and provider abstraction. Covers common email types: welcome, verification, password reset, notifications, and invoices.
This skill covers transactional email (welcome, verification, password reset, invitations, notifications) via Resend / Postmark / SendGrid with queues and retries. It is not the right fit for:
When to use: Decouple email sending from specific provider (Resend, SendGrid, etc.)
Implementation: Create provider-agnostic interface with consistent API.
// Email service interface
interface EmailService {
send(options: SendEmailOptions): Promise<EmailResult>;
sendBatch(emails: SendEmailOptions[]): Promise<EmailResult[]>;
}
interface SendEmailOptions {
to: string | string[];
subject: string;
template: string;
data: Record<string, unknown>;
replyTo?: string;
tags?: string[];
}
// Resend implementation
class ResendEmailService implements EmailService {
private client: Resend;
constructor(apiKey: string) {
this.client = new Resend(apiKey);
}
async send(options: SendEmailOptions): Promise<EmailResult> {
const html = await renderTemplate(options.template, options.data);
const result = await this.client.emails.send({
from: 'Your App <noreply@yourapp.com>',
to: Array.isArray(options.to) ? options.to : [options.to],
subject: options.subject,
html,
reply_to: options.replyTo,
tags: options.tags?.map(t => ({ name: t, value: 'true' }))
});
return {
id: result.id,
success: true
};
}
async sendBatch(emails: SendEmailOptions[]): Promise<EmailResult[]> {
return Promise.all(emails.map(e => this.send(e)));
}
}
// Usage
const emailService = new ResendEmailService(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
await emailService.send({
to: 'user@example.com',
subject: 'Welcome to Our App',
template: 'welcome',
data: { userName: 'John', appName: 'MyApp' }
});
When to use: Build maintainable, styled email templates with React
Implementation: Use React Email for component-based email templates.
// emails/welcome.tsx
import {
Body,
Button,
Container,
Head,
Heading,
Html,
Preview,
Section,
Text
} from '@react-email/components';
interface WelcomeEmailProps {
userName: string;
appName: string;
dashboardUrl: string;
}
export default function WelcomeEmail({
userName,
appName,
dashboardUrl
}: WelcomeEmailProps) {
return (
<Html>
<Head />
<Preview>Welcome to {appName}!</Preview>
<Body style={main}>
<Container style={container}>
<Heading style={h1}>Welcome, {userName}!</Heading>
<Text style={text}>
Thanks for signing up for {appName}. We're excited to have you!
</Text>
<Section style={buttonContainer}>
<Button style={button} href={dashboardUrl}>
Go to Dashboard
</Button>
</Section>
<Text style={footer}>
If you didn't create this account, please ignore this email.
</Text>
</Container>
</Body>
</Html>
);
}
const main = { backgroundColor: '#f6f9fc', padding: '40px 0' };
const container = { backgroundColor: '#ffffff', padding: '40px', borderRadius: '8px' };
const h1 = { color: '#1a1a1a', fontSize: '24px' };
const text = { color: '#4a4a4a', fontSize: '16px', lineHeight: '24px' };
const buttonContainer = { textAlign: 'center' as const, margin: '32px 0' };
const button = { backgroundColor: '#5469d4', color: '#fff', padding: '12px 24px', borderRadius: '6px' };
const footer = { color: '#8898aa', fontSize: '12px' };
// Render template
import { render } from '@react-email/render';
import WelcomeEmail from './emails/welcome';
async function renderTemplate(template: string, data: Record<string, unknown>) {
const templates = {
welcome: WelcomeEmail,
verification: VerificationEmail,
passwordReset: PasswordResetEmail,
invitation: InvitationEmail
};
const Component = templates[template];
return render(<Component {...data} />);
}
When to use: Reliable email delivery with failure handling
Implementation: Queue emails for async processing with retry logic.
// Email job processor
import { Queue, Worker } from 'bullmq';
const emailQueue = new Queue('emails', {
connection: redis,
defaultJobOptions: {
attempts: 3,
backoff: {
type: 'exponential',
delay: 1000 // 1s, 2s, 4s
},
removeOnComplete: 100,
removeOnFail: 1000
}
});
// Add email to queue
async function queueEmail(options: SendEmailOptions) {
await emailQueue.add('send', options, {
priority: getEmailPriority(options.template)
});
}
// Email priorities
function getEmailPriority(template: string): number {
const priorities = {
passwordReset: 1, // Highest
verification: 2,
invitation: 3,
notification: 5,
digest: 10 // Lowest
};
return priorities[template] ?? 5;
}
// Worker to process queue
const emailWorker = new Worker('emails', async (job) => {
const { to, subject, template, data } = job.data;
try {
const result = await emailService.send({ to, subject, template, data });
// Log success
await logEmailEvent(result.id, 'sent', { to, template });
return result;
} catch (error) {
// Log failure
await logEmailEvent(null, 'failed', { to, template, error: error.message });
throw error; // Trigger retry
}
}, { connection: redis });
// Handle final failure
emailWorker.on('failed', async (job, error) => {
if (job.attemptsMade >= job.opts.attempts) {
await alertOnEmailFailure(job.data, error);
}
});
When to use: Standard SaaS email types
// Email sending helpers
const emails = {
async sendWelcome(user: User) {
await queueEmail({
to: user.email,
subject: 'Welcome to MyApp!',
template: 'welcome',
data: {
userName: user.name,
appName: 'MyApp',
dashboardUrl: `${APP_URL}/dashboard`
}
});
},
async sendVerification(user: User, token: string) {
await queueEmail({
to: user.email,
subject: 'Verify your email',
template: 'verification',
data: {
userName: user.name,
verifyUrl: `${APP_URL}/verify?token=${token}`
}
});
},
async sendPasswordReset(user: User, token: string) {
await queueEmail({
to: user.email,
subject: 'Reset your password',
template: 'passwordReset',
data: {
userName: user.name,
resetUrl: `${APP_URL}/reset-password?token=${token}`,
expiresIn: '1 hour'
}
});
},
async sendInvitation(invitation: Invitation, inviter: User) {
await queueEmail({
to: invitation.email,
subject: `${inviter.name} invited you to join ${invitation.orgName}`,
template: 'invitation',
data: {
inviterName: inviter.name,
orgName: invitation.orgName,
acceptUrl: `${APP_URL}/accept-invite?token=${invitation.token}`
}
});
}
};
Resend (Recommended):
import { Resend } from 'resend';
const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
SendGrid:
import sgMail from '@sendgrid/mail';
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
Postmark:
import { ServerClient } from 'postmark';
const postmark = new ServerClient(process.env.POSTMARK_API_KEY);
Before declaring this skill's work complete, run each check below and paste the output. "Looks right" is not sufficient. Items marked gateable can be wired into project/gates/ for automated phase-exit checks.
| # | Check | Verification | Pass condition | Gateable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Email sends are queued, not inline | grep -rEn "emailService\.send|client\.emails\.send" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" . | grep -v -E "queue|worker|test|spec" | Zero matches in request-path handlers. Sends happen inside worker/queue consumer. | yes |
| 2 | Retry with exponential backoff | `grep -rEn "attempts.*[0-9]+ | backoff.exponential" --include=".ts" --include=".js" --include=".py" .` | Match in queue/job options. |
| 3 | Email delivery logged | grep -rEn "logEmailEvent|email.*log.*sent|email.*log.*failed" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" . | Match in worker; logs success and failure with correlation ID. | yes |
| 4 | Templates use a templating system | grep -rEn "renderTemplate|@react-email|MJML|Jinja2.*email" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.py" . | Match. No inline HTML strings for templated emails. | yes |
| 5 | No HTML strings concatenated with user input | grep -rEn "<.*>.*\$\{.*req\..*\}" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" . | Zero matches. (Defends against email-injection.) | yes |
| 6 | Rate limit on email sending per user | grep -rEn "rateLimit.*email|email.*rateLimit" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" . | Match. Prevents abuse of password-reset / invitation as spam relay. | yes |
| 7 | Failed-email alerts wired | Read worker failed handler. | Calls alertOnEmailFailure (or equivalent) on final attempt failure. | manual |
| 8 | Plain-text fallback for HTML | Read one templated email render call. | Render produces both HTML and plain-text, or template framework does so by default. | manual |
If any check fails, do not declare done. Fix and re-run.
Rebuttal: Until it isn't. The provider has a five-second outage and your signup endpoint times out. The provider rate-limits you and signups start failing. The provider's TLS cert expires (it happens) and signups 500. Any inline send couples your request path to a third party's availability. Queue every email, retry on failure with exponential backoff, return success to the user as soon as the user record exists.
// WRONG: Blocks request, no retry on failure
app.post('/signup', async (req, res) => {
await createUser(req.body);
await emailService.send({ ... }); // Blocks!
res.json({ success: true });
});
// RIGHT: Queue and return immediately
app.post('/signup', async (req, res) => {
const user = await createUser(req.body);
await queueEmail({ ... }); // Non-blocking
res.json({ success: true });
});
Rebuttal: It is never one or two for long, and inline HTML rots the moment branding changes. Use a template system from the first email; switching costs go up sharply once you have ten. React Email or equivalent gives you components, type-safe props, plain-text fallbacks, and previewable templates.
// WRONG: HTML in code, hard to maintain
const html = `<h1>Welcome ${name}</h1><p>Thanks for signing up...</p>`;
// RIGHT: Use template system
const html = await renderTemplate('welcome', { name });
