Senior Frontend

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/senior-frontend

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Senior Frontend Frontend development patterns, performance optimization, and automation tools for React/Next.js applications.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Table of Contents, Project Scaffolding, Component Generation, Bundle Analysis, React Patterns, Next.js Optimization.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Use when scaffolding a new React or Next.js project with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.
• Use when generating new components or custom hooks.
• Use when analyzing and optimizing bundle sizes for frontend applications.
• Use to implement or review advanced React patterns like Compound Components or Render Props.
• Use to ensure accessibility compliance and implement robust testing strategies.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Frontend development skill for React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS applications. Use when building React components, optimizing Next.js performance, analyzing bundle sizes, scaffolding frontend projects,....

## Related Skills

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @senior-frontend to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @senior-frontend against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @senior-frontend for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @senior-frontend using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/senior-frontend

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

2. Add optional features (auth, api, forms, testing, storybook):

   python scripts/frontend_scaffolder.py dashboard --template nextjs --features auth,api
   

3. Navigate to the project and install dependencies:

   cd my-app && npm install
   

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev
   

Scaffolder Options

--template nextjs

--template react

Generated Component Example

"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";

interface ButtonProps {
  className?: string;
  children?: React.ReactNode;
}

export function Button({ className, children }: ButtonProps) {
  return <div className={cn("", className)}>{children}</div>;
}

Imported: Bundle Analysis

Analyze package.json and project structure for bundle optimization opportunities.

Workflow: Optimize Bundle Size

1. Run the analyzer on your project:

   python scripts/bundle_analyzer.py /path/to/project
   

2. Review the health score and issues:

   Bundle Health Score: 75/100 (C)
   
   HEAVY DEPENDENCIES:
     moment (290KB)
       Alternative: date-fns (12KB) or dayjs (2KB)
   
     lodash (71KB)
       Alternative: lodash-es with tree-shaking
   

3. Apply the recommended fixes by replacing heavy dependencies.

4. Re-run with verbose mode to check import patterns:

   python scripts/bundle_analyzer.py . --verbose

Compound Components

Share state between related components:

const Tabs = ({ children }) => {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(0);
  return (
    <TabsContext.Provider value={{ active, setActive }}>
      {children}
    </TabsContext.Provider>
  );
};

Tabs.List = TabList;
Tabs.Panel = TabPanel;

// Usage
<Tabs>
  <Tabs.List>
    <Tabs.Tab>One</Tabs.Tab>
    <Tabs.Tab>Two</Tabs.Tab>
  </Tabs.List>
  <Tabs.Panel>Content 1</Tabs.Panel>
  <Tabs.Panel>Content 2</Tabs.Panel>
</Tabs>;

Custom Hooks

Extract reusable logic:

function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay = 500): T {
  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);

  useEffect(() => {
    const timer = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(value), delay);
    return () => clearTimeout(timer);
  }, [value, delay]);

  return debouncedValue;
}

// Usage
const debouncedSearch = useDebounce(searchTerm, 300);

Render Props

Share rendering logic:

function DataFetcher({ url, render }) {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch(url)
      .then((r) => r.json())
      .then(setData)
      .finally(() => setLoading(false));
  }, [url]);

  return render({ data, loading });
}

// Usage
<DataFetcher
  url="/api/users"
  render={({ data, loading }) =>
    loading ? <Spinner /> : <UserList users={data} />
  }
/>;

Server vs Client Components

Use Server Components by default. Add 'use client' only when you need:

• Event handlers (onClick, onChange)
• State (useState, useReducer)
• Effects (useEffect)
• Browser APIs

// Server Component (default) - no 'use client'
async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  const product = await getProduct(params.id); // Server-side fetch

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <AddToCartButton productId={product.id} /> {/* Client component */}
    </div>
  );
}

// Client Component
("use client");
function AddToCartButton({ productId }) {
  const [adding, setAdding] = useState(false);
  return <button onClick={() => addToCart(productId)}>Add</button>;
}

Image Optimization

import Image from 'next/image';

// Above the fold - load immediately
<Image
  src="/hero.jpg"
  alt="Hero"
  width={1200}
  height={600}
  priority
/>

// Responsive image with fill
<div className="relative aspect-video">
  <Image
    src="/product.jpg"
    alt="Product"
    fill
    sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
    className="object-cover"
  />
</div>

Data Fetching Patterns

// Parallel fetching
async function Dashboard() {
  const [user, stats] = await Promise.all([getUser(), getStats()]);
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// Streaming with Suspense
async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={params.id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<ReviewsSkeleton />}>
        <Reviews productId={params.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

Imported: Accessibility and Testing

Reference:

references/frontend_best_practices.md

Accessibility Checklist

1. Semantic HTML: Use proper elements (

   <button>

   ,

   <nav>

   ,

   <main>

   )
2. Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements focusable
3. ARIA Labels: Provide labels for icons and complex widgets
4. Color Contrast: Minimum 4.5:1 for normal text
5. Focus Indicators: Visible focus states

// Accessible button
<button
  type="button"
  aria-label="Close dialog"
  onClick={onClose}
  className="focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500"
>
  <XIcon aria-hidden="true" />
</button>

// Skip link for keyboard users
<a href="#main-content" className="sr-only focus:not-sr-only">
  Skip to main content
</a>

Testing Strategy

// Component test with React Testing Library
import { render, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
import userEvent from "@testing-library/user-event";

test("button triggers action on click", async () => {
  const onClick = vi.fn();
  render(<Button onClick={onClick}>Click me</Button>);

  await userEvent.click(screen.getByRole("button"));
  expect(onClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});

// Test accessibility
test("dialog is accessible", async () => {
  render(<Dialog open={true} title="Confirm" />);

  expect(screen.getByRole("dialog")).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(screen.getByRole("dialog")).toHaveAttribute("aria-labelledby");
});
