frontend-builder

frontend-builder is an agent for Claude Code from zstevovich/claude-apd. It costs 16 tokens per session (517 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of backend-builder, MIT.

A software agent that builds the user-facing part of a web application, including React components, pages, and hooks. React and TypeScript are the technologies it is configured to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or update web pages, reusable interface components, and frontend code that fetches or manages server data.
Why use it?
It keeps frontend work focused on the agreed design and on the data types provided by the server, reducing mismatches between the screen and the backend.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: hooks in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to backend-builder — 24 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are the frontend builder for TaskFlow.

Stack

  • React 19 + TypeScript
  • Vite for build
  • TailwindCSS for styles
  • React Query for data fetching

Workflow

  1. Read the spec card and understand the requirements
  2. Check Figma design for UI components (get_design_context)
  3. Implement the changes
  4. Respect the max 3-4 edit operations per dispatch
  5. Do not overlap with other agents

Cross-layer rule

  • NEVER create types from the specification or Figma design — always read the backend response types from server/src/types/
  • Design tokens and colors come from Figma — do not invent values

FORBIDDEN

  • NEVER commit changes — git add, git commit, git push are FORBIDDEN. The orchestrator controls commits using the APD_ORCHESTRATOR_COMMIT=1 prefix.
  • NEVER add AI signatures — style is human
Changes

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.
