developer-hub-app-architect

A guide for planning and building apps for Contentstack Developer Hub and Marketplace, where developers can add custom tools to Contentstack. It covers interface placement, React and TypeScript structure, setup, authentication, publishing, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an app idea into an implementation plan, generate starter-aligned code, configure an app, and diagnose loading, routing, SDK, or iframe problems.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose where a feature belongs and avoid guessing about app manifests, proxies, OAuth, embedded screens, or publishing requirements.

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

developer-hub-app-architect 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 2d 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.

Developer Hub App Architect

Description

Turn Contentstack Developer Hub and Marketplace app ideas into concrete implementations. Choose the right UI location, map the architecture, generate boilerplate-aligned React/TypeScript code, and troubleshoot setup, SDK, manifest, proxy, and publishing issues.

When to Use

Use when a user needs help designing or building a Contentstack Developer Hub or Marketplace app. Use when choosing the right UI location for a feature. Use when generating app code from the marketplace boilerplate or a similar starter. Use when explaining manifest, setup, proxy, OAuth, or publishing steps. Use when debugging app loading, SDK, iframe, route, or location issues.

User Problem

Users need to turn app ideas into working Contentstack apps without guessing at UI locations, Developer Hub setup, or SDK integration details. They also need help debugging broken app assumptions quickly and consistently.

Success Criteria

Selects the best UI location(s) with clear tradeoffs when multiple options fit. Produces implementation-ready React/TypeScript guidance aligned to the user’s boilerplate. Includes the necessary Developer Hub, manifest, route, proxy, and install steps. Avoids exposing secrets and keeps credentials server-side. Uses a repeatable troubleshooting checklist for broken apps.

Expected Inputs

  • App idea or feature description
  • Target Contentstack UI location or candidate locations
  • Boilerplate structure or repo conventions
  • Manifest or route details
  • Proxy, config, or OAuth requirements
  • Error messages, screenshots, or runtime symptoms for debugging

Expected Outputs

  • Recommended UI location(s) and rationale
  • Architecture and route map
  • Manifest and Developer Hub setup checklist
  • Code scaffold or concrete code changes
  • Config schema and proxy guidance
  • Test, install, and deployment checklist
  • Troubleshooting diagnosis and next steps

Example User Requests

  • Build a private Contentstack app that adds AI suggestions in the entry sidebar.
  • Which UI location should I use for a product taxonomy picker?
  • Generate an app configuration page and save API credentials through proxy variables.
  • Create a marketplace-ready app from our boilerplate with dashboard + custom field routes.
  • Why is my app loading but appSdk.location.CustomField is undefined?
  • Turn this app idea into manifest config, route plan, and starter code.

Changes

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.
