solid-design-patterns

A decision guide for choosing how a SolidJS application owns state, renders data, and connects its parts. SolidJS is a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making SolidJS architecture decisions, planning migrations, documenting tradeoffs, and defining commands and acceptance checks for the chosen design.
Why use it?
It helps compare several valid designs, understand their costs and risks, and avoid choosing a pattern without considering performance, server rendering, or future changes.

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

solid-design-patterns 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.

What it actually says

solid-design-patterns

Trigger

Use this skill for architecture decisions where multiple SolidJS patterns are viable and tradeoffs must be explicit.

Required Inputs

  • Problem statement and constraints.
  • Performance and SSR/hydration expectations.
  • Team maintainability constraints.
  • Migration constraints from current architecture.

Workflow

  1. Frame decision boundaries and non-negotiable constraints.
  2. Compare 2-3 options with explicit fit/cost profile.
  3. Call out anti-patterns and regression risks for each option.
  4. Recommend one option with phased adoption path.
  5. Include validation commands and measurable acceptance criteria.

Failure Modes

  • Constraint ambiguity: do not recommend until constraints are explicit.
  • Single-option output: invalid unless alternatives are infeasible and reason is documented.
  • Recommendation without migration path: add phased plan before completion.
  • No verification criteria: output fails validation.

Output Contract

Return output matching DesignDecisionOutput schema at ../../skills/contracts/design-decision-output.schema.json with:

  • decision_statement, constraints, options, recommended_option.
  • tradeoffs, adoption_plan, validation_commands.
  • citations: each architectural claim must cite normalized doc_id and rationale.

Validation

  • node tools/scripts/validate-skills.mjs --skill solid-design-patterns
  • node tools/scripts/validate-output-contracts.mjs

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

solid-design-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository lvcoi/solidJSkills (9 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 491 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
