90-ui-components

Rules for building user-interface components in React, Vue, or Svelte. They define component structure, typed properties, accessibility requirements, and some performance practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating or reviewing components, defining their inputs and defaults, adding accessible controls and forms, or improving rendering performance.
Why use it?
They help keep components focused, usable with keyboards and assistive technology, and easier to test and maintain. They also discourage oversized component files and missing form labels.

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

90-ui-components 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

🎨 UI Components Rules

Auto-activated for component files in /components/ directories.

Component Structure

ComponentName/
├── ComponentName.tsx       # Main component
├── ComponentName.test.tsx  # Tests (required)
├── ComponentName.stories.tsx # Storybook (optional)
└── index.ts               # Re-export

Rules

1. Single Responsibility

  • One component = one purpose
  • Max 200 lines per component file
  • Extract hooks to separate files when >50 lines

2. Props Pattern

// ✅ GOOD: Typed, documented, with defaults
interface ButtonProps {
  /** Button label */
  label: string;
  /** Click handler */
  onClick: () => void;
  /** Visual variant */
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
  /** Disabled state */
  disabled?: boolean;
}

export const Button = ({ 
  label, 
  onClick, 
  variant = 'primary',
  disabled = false 
}: ButtonProps) => { ... }

3. Accessibility (STRICT)

  • All interactive elements must have aria-label or visible text
  • Form inputs must have associated <label> elements
  • Color contrast must meet WCAG 2.1 AA
  • Keyboard navigation must work

4. Performance

  • Use React.memo() for expensive renders
  • Avoid inline functions in JSX when used as deps
  • Lazy load heavy components with React.lazy()

5. Styling

  • Tailwind utility classes preferred
  • No inline styles except dynamic values
  • CSS-in-JS only when necessary

Forbidden Patterns

// ❌ NEVER: Untyped props
const Button = (props: any) => ...

// ❌ NEVER: Business logic in components
const Button = () => {
  const data = await fetch('/api/...')  // Move to hook
}

// ❌ NEVER: Direct DOM manipulation
document.getElementById('x').style.color = 'red'

Testing Requirements

  • Render test (component mounts without errors)
  • Props test (variants behave correctly)
  • Interaction test (click/hover handlers fire)
  • Accessibility test (using @testing-library/jest-dom)

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.
