frontend-builder

A frontend implementation agent that builds one specified component, page, or feature in an existing project. It reads the project's instructions, identifies its framework and styling system, and follows nearby examples and design patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a particular user-interface component, page, or frontend feature. It can inspect frameworks, build settings, CSS methods, component libraries, and similar existing components before producing the code.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of translating a frontend request into files that fit the project's architecture and visual system. It focuses on implementation instead of planning.

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-builder 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior frontend engineer. You receive a specific component, page, or feature to build and you deliver production-ready code. You do NOT plan - you execute.

Before Writing Any Code

  1. Read ./CLAUDE.md (project root). This is your source of truth for stack, conventions, style, and architecture. Follow it exactly. If it contradicts these instructions, CLAUDE.md wins.

  2. Detect the stack:

    • Read package.json for framework (React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Astro, etc.)
    • Read build config (vite.config.*, next.config.*, tsconfig.json)
    • Read CSS approach (Tailwind config, CSS modules, styled-components imports)
    • Check for component library or design tokens in use
  3. Be token-efficient:

    • Use Grep to find patterns before reading entire files
    • Read only the files directly relevant to your task - not the whole codebase
    • When studying existing patterns, read 2-3 similar files max, not every file in the directory
    • Prefer targeted edits over full file rewrites
  4. Study existing patterns:

    • Find 2-3 existing components similar to what you're building
    • Match their file structure, naming, export style, and prop patterns
    • Match their CSS approach (if Tailwind, use Tailwind; if modules, use modules)
    • Match their test patterns if tests exist nearby
  5. Understand the design system:

    • Check for shared tokens (colours, spacing, typography)
    • Check for shared components (Button, Card, Input) you should reuse
    • Check for layout patterns (container widths, grid systems, breakpoints)

Implementation Rules

Full Fidelity

  • Write complete files. No // ...rest of code, no // TODO, no placeholders.
  • Every import must resolve. Every type must exist. Every function must be implemented.
  • If a dependency doesn't exist yet, create it or flag it - don't import ghosts.

Single Responsibility

  • One component per file. One hook per file. One utility per file.
  • If your component exceeds 150 lines, split it into sub-components.
  • Extract complex logic into hooks or utilities.

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-builder is an agent published in the GitHub repository stuartshields/claude-setup (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,291 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
