Claude-skill-registry feature-arch

React feature-based architecture guidelines for scalable applications (formerly feature-architecture). This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React code to ensure proper feature organization. Triggers on tasks involving project structure, feature organization, module boundaries, cross-feature imports, data fetching patterns, or component composition.

Feature-Based Architecture Best Practices

Comprehensive architecture guide for organizing React applications by features, enabling scalable development with independent teams. Contains 42 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact from critical (directory structure, imports) to incremental (naming conventions).

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Creating new features or modules
Organizing project directory structure
Setting up import rules and boundaries
Implementing data fetching patterns
Composing components from multiple features
Reviewing code for architecture violations

Rule Categories by Priority

import-
bound-
fquery-
fcomp-
fstate-
test-
name-

Quick Reference

1. Directory Structure (CRITICAL)

```
struct-feature-folders
```
- Organize by feature, not technical type
```
struct-feature-self-contained
```
- Make features self-contained
```
struct-shared-layer
```
- Use shared layer for truly generic code only
```
struct-flat-hierarchy
```
- Keep directory hierarchy flat
```
struct-optional-segments
```
- Include only necessary segments
```
struct-app-layer
```
- Separate app layer from features

2. Import & Dependencies (CRITICAL)

```
import-unidirectional-flow
```
- Enforce unidirectional import flow
```
import-no-cross-feature
```
- Prohibit cross-feature imports
```
import-public-api
```
- Export through public API only
```
import-avoid-barrel-files
```
- Avoid deep barrel file re-exports
```
import-path-aliases
```
- Use consistent path aliases
```
import-type-only
```
- Use type-only imports for types

3. Module Boundaries (HIGH)

```
bound-feature-isolation
```
- Enforce feature isolation
```
bound-interface-contracts
```
- Define explicit interface contracts
```
bound-feature-scoped-routing
```
- Scope routing to feature concerns
```
bound-minimize-shared-state
```
- Minimize shared state between features
```
bound-event-based-communication
```
- Use events for cross-feature communication
```
bound-feature-size
```
- Keep features appropriately sized

4. Data Fetching (HIGH)

```
fquery-single-responsibility
```
- Keep query functions single-purpose
```
fquery-colocate-with-feature
```
- Colocate data fetching with features
```
fquery-parallel-fetching
```
- Fetch independent data in parallel
```
fquery-avoid-n-plus-one
```
- Avoid N+1 query patterns
```
fquery-feature-scoped-keys
```
- Use feature-scoped query keys
```
fquery-server-component-fetching
```
- Fetch at server component level

5. Component Organization (MEDIUM-HIGH)

```
fcomp-single-responsibility
```
- Apply single responsibility to components
```
fcomp-composition-over-props
```
- Prefer composition over prop drilling
```
fcomp-container-presentational
```
- Separate container and presentational concerns
```
fcomp-props-as-data-boundary
```
- Use props as feature boundaries
```
fcomp-colocate-styles
```
- Colocate styles with components
```
fcomp-error-boundaries
```
- Use feature-level error boundaries

6. State Management (MEDIUM)

```
fstate-feature-scoped-stores
```
- Scope state stores to features
```
fstate-server-state-separation
```
- Separate server state from client state
```
fstate-lift-minimally
```
- Lift state only as high as necessary
```
fstate-context-sparingly
```
- Use context sparingly for feature state
```
fstate-reset-on-unmount
```
- Reset feature state on unmount

7. Testing Strategy (MEDIUM)

```
test-colocate-with-feature
```
- Colocate tests with features
```
test-feature-isolation
```
- Test features in isolation
```
test-shared-utilities
```
- Create feature-specific test utilities
```
test-integration-at-app-layer
```
- Write integration tests at app layer

8. Naming Conventions (LOW)

```
name-feature-naming
```
- Use domain-driven feature names
```
name-file-conventions
```
- Use consistent file naming conventions
```
name-descriptive-exports
```
- Use descriptive export names
