Use when implementing React components, TypeScript code, or frontend features.</h2>\n<h1>TypeScript Development Rules (Frontend)</h1>\n<h2>Comment Writing Rules</h2>\n<p>Code first: names and types carry meaning; a comment must add what code cannot, and one comment per decision is enough.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain why a component memoizes, guards, or re-renders, not what the JSX renders.</li>\n<li>Record decisions and rationale; leave chronological history to version control.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Type Safety</h2>\n<p><strong>Default Rule</strong>: Prefer <code>unknown</code>, generics, or union types over <code>any</code>. Retain <code>any</code> only when an existing external, generated, or legacy public signature requires it, or when replacing it prevents the project type check from expressing a safe generic relationship. Record the declaration path or type-check result that proves the constraint. When a local adapter can preserve compatibility and expose a safer type within the user request or current task/design artifact, implement the adapter; otherwise confine <code>any</code> to the smallest adapter or public-signature boundary, document the reason, and validate untrusted data before it enters typed application code.</p>\n<p><strong>Frontend Boundaries</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>React Props/State: use the declared application types.</li>\n<li>External API responses: treat unvalidated payloads as <code>unknown</code> and validate at the boundary. A generated client may retain its declared type when it also enforces the contract at runtime.</li>\n<li><code>localStorage</code> / <code>sessionStorage</code>: handle <code>string | null</code>; treat parsed data as <code>unknown</code> until validated.</li>\n<li>URL parameters: handle the router or platform's nullable string shape, then parse and validate before converting to a domain type.</li>\n<li>Exported APIs and important boundaries: declare return types; allow inference for local implementations when the contract remains clear.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Type Complexity Review Signals</strong></p>\n<p>Use these as review prompts, not pass/fail thresholds. Existing project conventions and the component's responsibility take precedence.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Props count: review ownership or splitting above 10.</li>\n<li>Optional props: review defaults or ownership when more than half are optional.</li>\n<li>Nested prop structures: review flattening beyond 2 levels.</li>\n<li>Type assertions: review the boundary when 3+ assertions are required.</li>\n<li>External API types: represent the actual external shape and convert at the application boundary.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Coding Conventions</h2>\n<p><strong>Component and File Decisions</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer function components and Hooks for new code. Preserve working class components unless the accepted work requires migration; a class remains valid for an Error Boundary implementation.</li>\n<li>Reuse logic through the repository's established component, hook, or module pattern.</li>\n<li>Follow the project's adopted component architecture and file layout. Co-locate files only when it is established or approved as a new structure.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Server/Client Boundary — only for RSC frameworks</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fetch and render on the server by default; isolate interactivity behind the smallest <code>\"use client\"</code> boundary that needs it.</li>\n<li>Keep browser-only APIs and event handlers inside client components.</li>\n<li>Skip these rules when the project has no server-component runtime.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>State Ownership</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preserve the repository's existing local, shared, and server-state ownership boundaries.</li>\n<li>Introduce Context, a shared-state layer, or a server-state dependency only when the accepted design requires ownership or lifecycle that the existing boundary cannot represent.</li>\n<li>Keep one authoritative owner for each state value and use immutable updates required by React change detection.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Function and Props Boundaries</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer 0-2 parameters. For 3+ related values, use an object when it clarifies names or represents one domain input; preserve positional parameters when the repository convention or external API requires them.</li>\n<li>Declare component dependencies through typed props, hooks, Context, or injected modules according to the repository's established state and dependency boundaries.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Environment Variables</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read client-side environment variables through the project's bundler accessor and public prefix.</li>\n<li>Validate required values through the repository's typed config layer; add a default only for an optional value or an explicitly defined local-development mode.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Client Security</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep credentials and secrets on the server; browser-delivered code and public environment variables are observable by clients.</li>\n<li>Exclude local environment files from version control and keep error output free of sensitive values.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Asynchronous Processing</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow the repository's promise style; use <code>async</code>/<code>await</code> when it clarifies sequencing and error propagation.</li>\n<li>Handle event-handler and asynchronous failures at their owning boundary. Error Boundaries cover descendant rendering failures, not ordinary callbacks or asynchronous work.</li>\n<li>Guard effect-driven requests against stale or post-unmount updates through the repository's cancellation or server-state mechanism.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Formatting</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow the repository's formatter, naming, module-resolution, and package-boundary configuration.</li>\n<li>Use an import alias only when the project configuration resolves it.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Error Handling</h2>\n<p>Every caught error has one intentional outcome: propagate it, convert it to the repository's typed boundary result, or represent it as user-facing error state. Preserve context and log once at the boundary that owns diagnosis or recovery, with sensitive data redacted.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Error Boundary: place it where descendant render failures have a defined UI recovery outcome.</li>\n<li>Custom Hook: preserve the application's existing error contract.</li>\n<li>API Layer: convert transport failures to the repository's established domain or boundary representation.</li>\n<li>Event handlers and async workflows: use the owning layer's exception, result, or UI-state contract.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Performance Optimization</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>When React Compiler is enabled, rely on it. Add manual <code>React.memo</code>, <code>useMemo</code>, or <code>useCallback</code> only for a measured bottleneck or a required stable identity at an external API/effect boundary.</li>\n<li>Apply code splitting or import changes when a configured bundle budget regresses, or when the accepted task names bundle size as an outcome and a repository bundle report attributes the relevant increase to the changed import. Follow the repository's existing loading pattern and verify the same signal after the change.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Non-functional Requirements</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Browser Compatibility</strong>: Implement against the support policy in the PRD, Design Doc, Browserslist, or build configuration. When none is defined, preserve the repository's current transpilation/polyfill baseline and surface any new browser-dependent API as an unresolved compatibility decision.</li>\n<li><strong>Performance</strong>: Verify against project-defined budgets and the metric representing the affected experience. When no budget exists, measure the changed path and report the observed result instead of inventing a threshold.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":7055,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
