frontend-dev-guidelines

frontend-dev-guidelines is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dwalleck/catalyst. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,746 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of frontend-dev-guidelines, MIT.

A set of coding guidelines for React and TypeScript front ends, which are the browser-facing parts of web applications. It covers component structure, data loading, navigation, styling with MUI, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating React components, pages, or features; fetching data with TanStack Query; setting up TanStack Router navigation; styling with MUI; or improving front-end performance.
Why use it?
It gives developers consistent patterns for building and organizing front-end code. This helps avoid ad hoc loading behavior, scattered files, and common TypeScript or performance problems.

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

frontend-dev-guidelines 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 4d 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.

Frontend Development Guidelines

Purpose

Comprehensive guide for modern React development, emphasizing Suspense-based data fetching, lazy loading, proper file organization, and performance optimization.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating new components or pages
  • Building new features
  • Fetching data with TanStack Query
  • Setting up routing with TanStack Router
  • Styling components with MUI v7
  • Performance optimization
  • Organizing frontend code
  • TypeScript best practices

Quick Start

New Component Checklist

Creating a component? Follow this checklist:

  • Use React.FC<Props> pattern with TypeScript
  • Lazy load if heavy component: React.lazy(() => import())
  • Wrap in <SuspenseLoader> for loading states
  • Use useSuspenseQuery for data fetching
  • Import aliases: @/, ~types, ~components, ~features
  • Styles: Inline if <100 lines, separate file if >100 lines
  • Use useCallback for event handlers passed to children
  • Default export at bottom
  • No early returns with loading spinners
  • Use useMuiSnackbar for user notifications

New Feature Checklist

Creating a feature? Set up this structure:

  • Create features/{feature-name}/ directory
  • Create subdirectories: api/, components/, hooks/, helpers/, types/
  • Create API service file: api/{feature}Api.ts
  • Set up TypeScript types in types/
  • Create route in routes/{feature-name}/index.tsx
  • Lazy load feature components
  • Use Suspense boundaries
  • Export public API from feature index.ts

Import Aliases Quick Reference

Alias Resolves To Example
@/ src/ import { apiClient } from '@/lib/apiClient'
~types src/types import type { User } from '~types/user'
~components src/components import { SuspenseLoader } from '~components/SuspenseLoader'
~features src/features import { authApi } from '~features/auth'

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.
