This one's for building with Payload CMS, the Next.js native headless CMS. The skill emphasizes three critical security patterns that trip people up: always use overrideAccess: false when enforcing permissions (the default bypasses access control entirely), pass req through nested operations in hooks to maintain transaction integrity, and use context flags to prevent infinite hook loops. You get working examples for collection definitions, beforeChange hooks for auto-slugs, row-level access control with query constraints, and the local API patterns. Honestly most useful for the quick reference table that maps common tasks like draft/publish workflows and computed fields to their actual implementations.
