mfe-boundary-routing

mfe-boundary-routing is a cursor rule for Cursor from lucamezzalira/mfe-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,337 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Rules for deciding which part of a micro-frontend application owns each URL. The shell is the main application that loads micro-frontends, while a micro-frontend handles pages inside its assigned area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing URL ownership, loading micro-frontends from runtime route configuration, or reviewing navigation between top-level and nested paths.
Why use it?
It prevents routing responsibilities from being duplicated or mixed between the shell and a micro-frontend. It also keeps adding or removing top-level areas configurable rather than tied to shell code.

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

mfe-boundary-routing 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 11d 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.

URL routing ownership — shell vs micro-frontend

Version: 1.1 | Skill: reviewing-mfe-boundaries | Source: Building Micro-Frontends (O'Reilly)

Principle

Split routing responsibility by URL depth, not by who implements the router API:

URL depth Owner Example
First segment (top-level path) Shell /, /catalog, /checkout
Second segment onward Micro-frontend /catalog/product/sku-123, /checkout/shipping

The shell answers only: which MFE loads for this top-level area?
The MFE answers: what happens inside that area?

Navigation style is flexible. Use <a href>, React Router <Link>, navigate(), Angular Router, or full page loads — as long as changing the first segment loads the correct remote and deeper segments stay inside the owning MFE.


Shell: dynamic first-level routes (main goal)

The shell should load only first-level URLs from a runtime manifest (routes.json or equivalent) plus remote URLs (remotes.json). That way:

  • Adding or removing an MFE updates configuration — not shell application code
  • No shell redeploy is required when an existing MFE adds internal pages (/catalog/product/:id, /catalog/sale) — those routes are owned and deployed by the MFE team
[
  { "path": "/", "scope": "home_mfe", "module": "./HomeApp", "navLabel": "Home" },
  { "path": "/catalog/*", "scope": "catalog_mfe", "module": "./CatalogApp", "navLabel": "Catalog" }
]

The shell maps each entry to one remote mount (wildcard /* hands all deeper paths to that MFE). Nav labels can also come from the manifest.

Do not in the shell:

  • Register domain sub-routes (/catalog/product/:id, /checkout/shipping)
  • Hard-code per-MFE routes in App.tsx when a manifest could list them instead

Micro-frontend: hardcoded internal routes (expected)

Inside an MFE, routes are usually hardcoded in code — that is normal and preferred. The catalog team ships new pages without touching the shell because the shell only mounts /catalog/*.

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.
