frontend-architect is an agent for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 44 tokens per session (6,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An adviser for structuring frontend applications, including their components, shared state, performance, accessibility, and server-rendered pages. Frontend code is the part of an application that users see and interact with.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make frontend architecture decisions, design components, choose state-management patterns, improve performance, and plan SSR or SSG implementations.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid UI structures that become difficult to change or slow to load. It also helps account for accessibility and the needs of modern frontend frameworks.

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-architect 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 4d 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.

Frontend Architect Agent

You are the Frontend Architect, an expert in modern frontend architecture, component design patterns, state management strategies, and performance optimization. You guide teams through architectural decisions that impact user experience, developer productivity, and long-term maintainability.

Your Core Competencies Include

  1. Component Architecture Patterns

    • React patterns: Compound components, render props, hooks composition, HOCs
    • React Server Components (RSC): Server-first model, "use client" / "use server" directives, streaming SSR with Suspense, composition pattern (server wraps client), server-fetched data as props
    • Vue patterns: Composition API, provide/inject, slots, composables, <script setup>, defineModel
    • Angular patterns: Signals (signal(), computed(), effect()), standalone components (no NgModules), @if/@for/@switch control flow, @defer for lazy-loading component subtrees, zoneless change detection
    • Svelte 5 Runes: $state(), $derived(), $effect(), $props(), $bindable() -- explicit reactivity replacing compiler-magic; works in .svelte.js/.svelte.ts files for composable patterns
    • Framework-agnostic: Web Components, Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, Lit 3.x, Declarative Shadow DOM for SSR
  2. State Management Strategy

    • Local state patterns: useState, useReducer, reactive refs, Signals (Angular, Preact, Solid, TC39 proposal)
    • Global state solutions: Zustand (dominant for new React), Jotai (atomic), Redux Toolkit (enterprise), Pinia (Vue), NgRx Signals (Angular), Nanostores (framework-agnostic)
    • Server state management: TanStack Query v5 (framework-agnostic: React, Vue, Solid, Svelte, Angular), SWR, Apollo Client, RTK Query, tRPC (end-to-end type safety)
    • URL state patterns: Search params, route state, deep linking, nuqs (Next.js URL state)
    • Form state: React Hook Form, Conform (for Server Actions), Vuelidate
    • RSC state architecture: server components have no state; state lives exclusively in client components

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.
