prime-frontend

prime-frontend is a command for Claude Code from coleam00/Archon. It costs 12 tokens per session (654 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-orientation command for Archon's web interface, built with React, a JavaScript library for user interfaces. It also covers the server-side connection that streams updates to the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before working on the React interface, page routes, layout, UI components, API calls, data-fetching hooks, or server-sent event streams.
Why use it?
It helps an agent understand the page structure, reusable components, routes, data fetching, and live updates before changing the web application.

About the project

Archon is a workflow engine for AI coding agents that turns development processes into YAML-defined sequences with phases, validation gates, and artifacts. Developers use it to run repeatable processes such as planning, implementation, testing, code review, and pull-request creation across projects. The catalogue entries provide commands, agents, skills, hooks, instructions, and settings for working with Archon.

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

prime-frontend 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 6d 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.

Prime Frontend: Web UI Orientation

Objective

Orient on the React frontend (packages/web/) before working on Web UI code. Also covers the server-side Web adapter that feeds data to the UI via SSE.

Process

1. Understand the Frontend Stack

Read packages/web/package.json for exact dependency versions (React 19, Vite 6, TanStack Query v5, React Router v7, Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui).

2. Understand the Route and Layout Structure

Read packages/web/src/App.tsx for routes, layout, QueryClient config, and ErrorBoundary.

List route pages: !ls packages/web/src/routes/

List component directories: !ls packages/web/src/components/

3. Understand Component Organization

List each component subdirectory to understand the breakdown (chat, conversations, dashboard, layout, sidebar, ui, workflows): !ls packages/web/src/components/chat/ packages/web/src/components/workflows/ packages/web/src/components/layout/

4. Understand Data Fetching

Read packages/web/src/lib/api.ts — API client with REST functions and SSE base URL logic.

Read hooks in packages/web/src/hooks/: !ls packages/web/src/hooks/

Read packages/web/src/hooks/useSSE.ts for the SSE streaming pattern.

5. Understand Theme and Styling

Read packages/web/src/index.css for the Tailwind v4 @theme inline {} block — this is the single source of truth for colors, fonts, and design tokens (dark theme only, blue accents, Inter + JetBrains Mono fonts). Note: uses @import "tailwindcss" (not @tailwind directives).

6. Understand the Server-Side Web Adapter

Read packages/server/src/adapters/web/ files — the Web adapter uses SSE for streaming and sendStructuredEvent() for rich tool call data. !ls packages/server/src/adapters/web/

Read packages/server/src/routes/api.ts first 80 lines for API route structure.

7. Check Recent Frontend Activity

!git log -8 --oneline -- packages/web/ packages/server/src/adapters/web/

Output

Summarize (under 200 words):

Route Structure

  • List each route page and its URL path
  • Note active route and layout 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.
