SKILL: frontend-builder
Purpose
Build frontend applications (React / Next.js / Vite) with predictable structure, accessibility, and safe API integration.
When to Use
- A new UI app/page/component system is required.
- The task includes routing, state management, or API consumption.
- You need a repeatable scaffold with quality gates (lint/tests/build).
Inputs
stack(required, enum:react-vite|nextjs|react-spa).ui_requirements(required, string|object): pages, components, UX constraints.api_contract(optional, object): endpoints/events and schemas.constraints(optional, string[]): theming, perf, accessibility, browser support.
Steps
- Confirm scope:
- routes/pages - global layout/navigation - state boundaries (server vs client)
- Scaffold project in the target directory with minimal dependencies.
- Implement component structure:
- components/, pages//routes/, lib/, styles/
- Implement API client layer with:
- base URL via env - timeouts - error normalization
- Add accessibility and UX guardrails:
- semantic HTML - keyboard navigation - loading/error states
- Add tests (where the repo conventions support them).
- Validate build/lint/test.
Validation
- App builds cleanly.
- No secrets in client bundles.
- API calls handle errors and cancellations.
- Key user flows are covered by at least smoke tests.
Output
- Files created/changed
- Run commands (
dev,build,test) - Notes about env vars and configuration
Safety Rules
- Never embed API keys in frontend code; use server-side proxy if needed.
- Avoid untrusted HTML injection; sanitize where necessary.
- Prefer stable, well-maintained libraries.
Example
Input:
stack:react-viteui_requirements: “Dashboard page + settings form; calls/api/me.â€
Output: Vite project with src/pages/Dashboard.tsx, src/lib/api.ts, and build validation commands.
