engineering-vocabulary

engineering-vocabulary is a skill for Claude Code from sukirman1901/frontend-expert. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lookup guide that translates informal descriptions of frontend development patterns into their standard technical terms and short definitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify concepts such as Context, stale-while-revalidate caching, global stores, URL state, state hoisting, and other frontend patterns.
Why use it?
It helps when you know what behaviour you want—such as avoiding repeated fetching or rendering only visible items—but do not know the name to search for.

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

engineering-vocabulary 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 10d 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.

Engineering Vocabulary

Overview

Bridge the gap between casual engineering descriptions and precise technical terms. When a user describes a frontend pattern loosely, look it up here to pick the right implementation approach.

When to use

  • User describes a pattern informally ("yang nge-cache itu", "biar gak nge-lag")
  • You need the precise term to search docs or pick the right library
  • Communicating architecture decisions clearly

When to skip

  • User already uses the correct term
  • Non-frontend (backend, DevOps, database) concepts

Lookup table

State Management

Description (loose) Term Definition
Share data without passing through every component Context / Provider pattern React Context or equivalent for cross-tree state
Data cached so it doesn't fetch again SWR / Stale-while-revalidate Return cached data, revalidate in background
Store that any component can read Global store (Zustand/Redux) Centralized client state container
State in the URL (filters, tabs) URL state / Search params Shareable, bookmarkable state via URL
Pass data down without prop chains State hoisting / Lifting state Move state to nearest common ancestor
Optimistic update before server confirms Optimistic UI / Optimistic mutation Show expected result immediately, rollback on error
Undo/redo support Command pattern / History stack Stack of reversible actions
Form state that tracks dirty/touched Form state management Libraries like React Hook Form, Formik
Derived value computed from other state Computed / Derived state / Selector Value calculated from source state, memoized

Data Fetching & Async

Description (loose) Term Definition
Loading skeleton before data Skeleton screen / Placeholder UI Shimmer placeholders mimicking final layout
Retry on failure Retry with backoff Re-attempt failed requests with increasing delay
Cancel request when leaving page Abort controller / Request cancellation AbortController signal to cancel in-flight fetch
Load more as you scroll Infinite scroll / Cursor pagination Fetch next page when nearing scroll bottom
Fetch once, use everywhere Query cache / React Query Centralized async state with cache + revalidation
Pre-fetch data before user navigates Prefetching / Preloading data Anticipate next route, start fetching early
Debounce search input Debounced input Delay execution until user stops typing (~300ms)
Show stale data while loading new Stale-while-revalidate (SWR) Display cached result, refresh in background
Parallel requests instead of sequential Promise.all / Parallel fetching Fire independent requests simultaneously
Server sends updates without polling WebSocket / Server-Sent Events Real-time push from server to client

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.
