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-development 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Development

Announce at start: "I'm using claude-engineer:frontend-development to build the frontend on the blessed stack."

React vs Next.js (default decision)

  • Next.js (App Router) for marketing/content sites and content+app hybrids (SEO, RSC, server data).
  • Vite SPA (React) for dashboards/SaaS behind auth and design-system/library work (no SEO need).
  • Rule of thumb: anonymous crawler needs real content, or you need a server data layer → Next.js; everything behind a login and API-bound → Vite SPA.

Blessed libraries (June 2026 defaults - full table + versions in references/frontend-stack.md)

Need Default
UI primitives shadcn/ui (own the code) over Radix/Base UI
Styling Tailwind CSS v4 (@theme) + cva + tailwind-merge + clsx
Server/data state TanStack Query (or Next server components/actions)
Client state Zustand
Forms + validation react-hook-form + Zod
Routing (non-Next) React Router (TanStack Router if TS-first)
Tables TanStack Table
Charts Recharts (via shadcn charts)
Animation motion (ex-Framer Motion)
Icons lucide-react (+ custom typed SVG icons)
Toasts / cmd palette / DnD / upload Sonner / cmdk / dnd-kit / react-dropzone + presigned uploads

Non-negotiables

  1. On-token only - consume DESIGN.md tokens via Tailwind @theme/CSS vars; no hardcoded values (claude-engineer:design-system).
  2. TypeScript strict - full strict flags (see reference); no any escapes.
  3. WCAG AA by construction - semantic HTML, keyboard nav, focus management, ARIA, reduced-motion. This is a hard gate (claude-engineer:testing-and-quality).
  4. Tested - Vitest + React Testing Library for components; Playwright for E2E flows.
  5. Monorepo placement - apps in apps/, shared UI/config in packages/ (claude-engineer:monorepo-and-tooling).

Full detail: read references/frontend-stack.md (project structure, exact versions, tsconfig strict flags, ESLint flat config, token wiring, a11y checklist) on demand.

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.
