claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/web-architecture/SKILL.md

web-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit. It costs 116 tokens per session (935 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing how a web application produces its pages, such as before deployment, on the server, or in the browser. It also helps decide whether a framework is appropriate.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan websites and multi-page applications, especially content, marketing, documentation, blog, listing, and category pages.
Why use it?
The choice affects loading speed, search-engine visibility, and whether visitors and crawlers can see content before JavaScript runs.

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

web-architecture 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 7d 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.

Web Architecture: Pick the Rendering Strategy Up Front

Two defaults Claude reaches for that are usually wrong: rendering everything in the browser, and hand-building a multi-page app from vanilla HTML/JS. Both should be a deliberate up-front choice, and for most real sites the better answer is server-rendered HTML and a framework. Raise these even when the user didn't ask, the same way you'd raise a WAF before production.

Default to server-rendered HTML, not client-rendered

For anything where content, SEO, or first paint matters, the content must be in the initial HTML response, not painted afterward by client JavaScript. Client-side rendering (a blank shell that fetches and renders in the browser) means a blank screen until the bundle loads and runs, a slow LCP, and content that many crawlers and LLM retrievers never see because they don't reliably execute JavaScript. Server-render it instead:

  • SSG (static generation): render at build time, serve static from a CDN. Fastest, cheapest, most cacheable. The default for content that doesn't change per request, marketing, docs, blog, listing and category pages that can be rebuilt.
  • SSR (server-side rendering): render per request on the server. For dynamic, personalized, or auth-gated content that can't be baked at build time.
  • CSR / islands: render in the browser only for the genuinely interactive parts, or for app-like surfaces behind a login where SEO is irrelevant (a dashboard). With an islands approach (Astro) the page ships as static HTML and only the interactive components hydrate.

Pick per page, you can mix: a static marketing page (SSG), a personalized account page (SSR), and an interactive widget (an island) in the same site.

Several pages means reach for a framework

If the project has multiple pages, a shared layout, routing, or real data fetching, hand-rolling it in vanilla JS is a maintenance and performance trap, and it's Claude's default unless told otherwise. Reach for a framework (Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix). They give routing, SSR and SSG, code-splitting, data loading, and image optimization out of the box, and crucially they give you SPA-style client navigation on top of server-rendered initial HTML, so you get the smooth multi-page app feel without shipping a blank client-only SPA that breaks first paint and SEO.

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.
