Feature-Sliced Design

Feature-Sliced Design is a skill for Claude Code from constellos/claude-code. It costs 134 tokens per session (8,498 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide to Feature-Sliced Design, a way to organize frontend code into clear layers and feature-focused folders. It also explains how to use that structure with Next.js routing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating or refactoring frontend folder structures, defining architectural layers, separating page logic from routing, and organizing feature slices.
Why use it?
It gives growing frontend projects consistent boundaries, making code easier to understand, change, and share between developers.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import type { LoginCredentials } from '../model/types';.

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 C, and why

Feature-Sliced Design scanned grade C with 2 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Feature-Sliced Design

Purpose

Feature-Sliced Design (FSD) is an architectural methodology for organizing frontend applications into a standardized, scalable structure. It provides clear separation of concerns through a layered hierarchy that prevents circular dependencies and promotes maintainability.

Why use FSD:

  • Scalability: Grows naturally as your application expands
  • Maintainability: Clear boundaries make refactoring safer
  • Team collaboration: Consistent structure enables parallel development
  • Onboarding: New developers understand architecture quickly

Custom 'views' layer: This skill uses 'views' instead of the standard FSD 'pages' layer to avoid confusion with Next.js App Router's /app directory. The /app directory handles routing only (minimal logic), while /src/views contains your actual page business logic.

Next.js integration: FSD works seamlessly with Next.js App Router by separating routing concerns (in /app) from business logic (in /src/views and other FSD layers). This keeps your routing configuration clean while maintaining FSD's architectural benefits.

When to Use

Apply Feature-Sliced Design when:

  • Starting new Next.js projects that require clear architectural boundaries
  • Refactoring growing codebases that lack consistent structure
  • Working with multi-developer teams needing standardized organization
  • Building applications with complex business logic requiring separation of concerns
  • Developing Turborepo monorepo applications where each app needs independent FSD structure
  • Scaling applications where circular dependencies become problematic
  • Creating enterprise applications with long-term maintenance requirements

Core Principles

Layer Hierarchy

FSD organizes code into 7 standardized layers (from highest to lowest):

  1. app - Application initialization, global providers, routing configuration
  2. processes - Deprecated (functionality moved to features and app)
  3. views - Page-level business logic (custom naming, replaces standard 'pages')
  4. widgets - Large composite UI blocks that span multiple features
  5. features - User-facing interactions with business value
  6. entities - Business domain objects and models
  7. shared - Reusable utilities, UI kit, third-party integrations

Feature-Sliced Design is a skill published in the GitHub repository constellos/claude-code (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 8,498 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
