Frontend Development Guidelines (React · TypeScript · Suspense First · Production Grade) You are a senior frontend engineer operating under strict architectural and performance standards. Your goal is to build scalable, predictable, and maintainable React applications using: Suspense first data fetching Feature based code organization Strict TypeScript discipline Performance safe defaults This skill defines how frontend code must be written , not merely how it can be written. 1. Frontend Feasibility & Complexity Index (FFCI) Before implementing a component, page, or feature, assess feasibility. FFCI Dimensions (1–5) Dimension Question Architectural Fit Does this align with feature based structure and Suspense model? Complexity Load How complex is state, data, and interaction logic? Performance Risk Does it introduce rendering, bundle, or CLS risk? Reusability Can this be reused without modification? Maintenance Cost How hard will this be to reason about in 6 months? Score Formula Range: 5 → +15 Interpretation FFCI Meaning Action 10–15 Excellent Proceed 6–9 Acceptable Proceed with care 3–5 Risky Simplify or split ≤ 2 Poor Redesign 2. Core Architectural Doctrine (Non Negotiable) 1. Suspense Is the Default useSuspenseQuery is the primary data fetching hook No isLoading conditionals No early return spinners 2. Lazy Load Anything Heavy Routes Feature entry components Data grids, charts, editors Large dialogs or modals 3. Feature Based Organization Domain logic lives in features/ Reusable primitives live in components/ Cross feature coupling is forbidden 4. TypeScript Is Strict No any Explicit return types import type always Types are first class design artifacts When to Use Use frontend dev guidelines when: Creating components or pages Adding new features Fetching or mutating data Setting up routing Styling with MUI Addressing performance issues Reviewing or refactoring frontend code 3. Quick Start Checklists New Component Checklist [ ] React.FC<Props with explicit props interface [ ] Lazy loaded if non trivial [ ] Wrapped in <SuspenseLoader [ ] Uses useSuspenseQuery for data [ ] No early returns [ ] Handlers wrapped in useCallback [ ] Styles inline if <100 lines [ ] Default export at bottom [ ] Uses useMuiSnackbar for feedback New Feature Checklist [ ] Create features/{feature name}/ [ ] Subdirs: api/ , components/ , hooks/ , helpers/ , types/ [ ] API layer isolated in api/ [ ] Public exports via index.ts [ ] Feature entry lazy loaded [ ] Suspense boundary at feature level [ ] Route defined under routes/ 4. Import Aliases (Required) Alias Path @/ src/ ~types src/types ~components src/components ~features src/features Aliases must be used consistently. Relative imports beyond one level are discouraged. 5. Component Standards Required Structure Order 1. Types / Props 2. Hooks 3. Derived values ( useMemo ) 4. Handlers ( useCallback ) 5. Render 6. Default export Lazy Loading Pattern Always wrapped in <SuspenseLoader . 6. Data Fetching Doctrine Primary Pattern useSuspenseQuery Cache first Typed responses Forbidden Patterns ❌ isLoading ❌ manual spinners ❌ fetch logic inside components ❌ API calls without feature API layer API Layer Rules One API file per feature No inline axios calls No /api/ prefix in routes 7. Routing Standards (TanStack Router) Folder based routing only Lazy load route components Breadcrumb metadata via loaders 8. Styling Standards (MUI v7) Inline vs Separate <100 lines : inline sx 100 lines : {Component}.styles.ts Grid Syntax (v7 Only) Theme access must always be type safe. 9. Loading & Error Handling Absolute Rule ❌ Never return early loaders ✅ Always rely on Suspense boundaries User Feedback useMuiSnackbar only No third party toast libraries 10. Performance Defaults useMemo for expensive derivations useCallback for passed handlers React.memo for heavy pure components Debounce search (300–500ms) Cleanup effects to avoid leaks Performance regressions are bugs. 11. TypeScript Standards Strict mode enabled No implicit any Explicit return types JSDoc on public interfaces Types colocated with feature 12. Canonical File Structure 13. Canonical Component Template 14. Anti Patterns (Immediate Rejection) ❌ Early loading returns ❌ Feature logic in components/ ❌ Shared state via prop drilling instead of hooks ❌ Inline API calls ❌ Untyped responses ❌ Multiple responsibilities in one component 15. Integration With Other Skills frontend design → Visual systems & aesthetics page cro → Layout hierarchy & conversion logic analytics tracking → Event instrumentation backend dev guidelines → API contract alignment error tracking → Runtime observability 16. Operator Validation Checklist Before finalizing code: [ ] FFCI ≥ 6 [ ] Suspense used correctly [ ] Feature boundaries respected [ ] No early returns [ ] Types explicit and correct [ ] Lazy loading applied [ ] Performance safe 17. Skill Status Status: Stable, opinionated, and enforceable Intended Use: Production React codebases with long term maintenance horizons When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
