mfe-boundary-rules-core-critical

mfe-boundary-rules-core-critical is a cursor rule for Cursor from lucamezzalira/mfe-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,099 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for designing the boundary between micro-frontends, which are independently developed parts of a web application. It requires internal details to stay behind an agreed interface and parts to communicate through events rather than shared state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or design API contracts, event communication, and data flow between a micro-frontend and its container or neighbouring micro-frontends.
Why use it?
It reduces dependence between teams and prevents one micro-frontend from exposing implementation details that other parts of the application start relying on.

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-rules-core-critical 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 1mo 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.

MFE boundary rules — critical (rules 3 and 4)

Contents

  • Rule 3 — Hides implementation details behind an API contract
  • Rule 4 — Communicates via events, not shared state

Version: 1.3 | Skill: reviewing-mfe-boundaries | Source: Building Micro-Frontends (O'Reilly).

Critical rules: hide implementation details; communicate via events not shared state. For rules 1, 2, 5–8 and governance extensions: load references/rules-core-standard.md. For framework-specific patterns: load references/rules-toolchain.md.


Rule 3 — Hides implementation details behind an API contract

Define the API contract upfront between producer and consumer teams. Internal implementation details — frameworks, data fetching strategies, database schemas, code structure — stay hidden behind it.

The API-first principle: the contract is the binding agreement. Both teams can work in parallel, focused on their side of the contract. Either team can change their internals freely without affecting the other, as long as the contract is respected.

Strong encapsulation is required to avoid domain leaks into other parts of the application. When a micro-frontend exposes its internals — through direct imports, shared modules, or coupled data structures — changes inside cascade outside and independent deployment breaks down.

Violation signals:

  • Direct imports from one micro-frontend's source into another
  • Shared internal modules or utilities across micro-frontend boundaries
  • Contract changes that require simultaneous updates across multiple teams
  • A micro-frontend exposing more than what consumers strictly need

Code-checkable patterns:

// ✗ CRITICAL — cross-boundary import, bypasses the API contract
import { UserStore } from '@org/auth-mfe/store'
import { useCart } from '@org/cart-mfe/hooks'
import { formatCurrency } from '@org/checkout-mfe/utils'

// ✓ Each micro-frontend accesses only its own internals
import { formatCurrency } from './utils/currency'

// ✓ Shared utilities belong in an npm package, not a micro-frontend
import { formatCurrency } from '@org/shared-utils'

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.
