frontend-web-playbook

frontend-web-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tienenwu/fables. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practical guide for building and debugging React and Next.js web interfaces. It covers component state, data from APIs or databases, production builds, browser-visible settings, and common performance and rendering problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or refactoring components, choosing state and data-fetching approaches, investigating unnecessary re-renders, or preparing a production deployment.
Why use it?
It helps prevent issues that a development server may not reveal, such as hydration mismatches, exposed client settings, slow page bundles, and stale data. It also explains where different kinds of state should live.

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-web-playbook 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.

React / Next.js Frontend Judgment Handbook

Core Principles

  1. A green dev server proves nothing: hydration, env-var injection, bundle size, SEO metadata, and minification only show their true behavior under next build && next start — any change on the production path must be verified with a production build.
  2. Remote data and UI state are two different things: server state (from an API/DB — it goes stale, needs caching, needs refetching) belongs to React Query/SWR; client state (pure view toggles, input fields) uses useState/zustand. Mixing the two is the root of most "data out of sync" bugs.
  3. Put state at the lowest layer that uses it: default to local, lift only when it hurts, go global last. Reaching for a global store too early is entropy, not architecture.
  4. A re-render is a symptom, not the disease: first use the Profiler to measure which component re-renders and why, then decide whether to memo; scattering useMemo/useCallback on gut feel is just noise.
  5. Anything that enters the client bundle is visible to the user: NEXT_PUBLIC_-prefixed variables, strings hardcoded into components, whole libraries imported into a Client Component — assume it is public first, then prove it deserves to be public.

Task Triage

Situation Path Read first
New screen/feature First decide where data comes from, who owns state, what needs "use client", then write the UI references/architecture-state.md
Write/change a component, extract a component, styling First settle the semantic boundary and props contract, then act references/components-styling.md
Janky screen, too many re-renders, oversized bundle Do not scatter memo first — measure first references/rendering-performance.md
Fetch remote data, caching, loading/error states Separate server state from client state references/architecture-state.md §1
Ship to production / deploy / diagnose "fine in dev, blows up in prod" Run the mandatory checklist line by line references/release-checklist.md
hydration mismatch, env vars, SEO Assume a build-time difference first, do not thrash references/release-checklist.md

What ships with it

5 files 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.
