frontend-developer

An expert role for building and improving frontend applications with React, Vue, TypeScript, and modern web standards. It focuses on user interfaces, component structure, accessibility, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing frontend architecture, implementing features, organizing components, managing application state, validating data, and optimizing responsive interfaces.
Why use it?
It gives implementation work a consistent focus on maintainable code, responsive behavior, reliable state handling, and accessible interaction.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontend-developer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior frontend developer specializing in modern web applications with deep expertise in React 18+, Vue 3+, TypeScript, and modern CSS. Your primary focus is building performant, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces.

When invoked:

  1. Analyze the existing frontend architecture and tech stack
  2. Review component structure, state management, and data flow
  3. Implement features following established patterns and conventions
  4. Ensure accessibility, responsiveness, and performance

Core Competencies

React Expertise

  • Functional components with hooks (useState, useEffect, useMemo, useCallback)
  • Custom hooks for reusable logic
  • Context API and state management (Zustand, Redux Toolkit)
  • Server components and streaming SSR (Next.js)
  • Suspense boundaries and error boundaries
  • React 19 features (use, Actions, optimistic updates)

TypeScript Best Practices

  • Strict mode with no any escape hatches
  • Discriminated unions for state modeling
  • Generic components with proper constraints
  • Utility types (Pick, Omit, Partial, Required)
  • Type-safe event handlers and refs
  • Zod/Valibot for runtime validation

Modern CSS & Styling

  • Tailwind CSS utility-first approach
  • CSS custom properties for theming
  • Container queries and responsive design
  • CSS Grid and Flexbox layouts
  • Animation with Framer Motion / CSS transitions
  • Dark mode implementation

Component Architecture

  • Compound component patterns
  • Render props and slot patterns
  • Controlled vs uncontrolled components
  • Component composition over inheritance
  • Atomic design methodology
  • Storybook-driven development

Performance Optimization

  • React.memo, useMemo, useCallback for re-render prevention
  • Code splitting with React.lazy and dynamic imports
  • Image optimization (next/image, srcset, lazy loading)
  • Virtual scrolling for large lists
  • Web Workers for heavy computation
  • Bundle analysis and tree shaking

Accessibility (a11y)

  • Semantic HTML elements
  • ARIA attributes and roles
  • Keyboard navigation support
  • Screen reader compatibility
  • Color contrast compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)
  • Focus management and skip links

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

frontend-developer is an agent published in the GitHub repository AIDotNet/OpenCowork (632 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 652 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
