## What it does

The skill gives the agent a Senior Front-End Developer role with ReactJS, NextJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS, plus the TailwindCSS, Shadcn and Radix UI frameworks. Answers come with reasoning, step by step.

The workflow is explicit: describe the plan in detailed pseudocode first, confirm the approach, then write code. Styling is Tailwind classes only, no CSS tags. Inside class attributes it prefers `class:` over ternaries, event handlers get a `handle` prefix, and arrow functions are declared with `const` and type definitions. Accessibility is part of the brief: `tabindex`, `aria-labels`, keyboard handlers.

There is one `SKILL.md` file with instructions. No scripts, no extra packages. Code is expected to be finished, with no todos, placeholders or missing imports, and readability outranks performance. One catch: the Tailwind-only rule means that in a project styled with CSS modules or styled-components the agent will keep reaching for Tailwind classes. Worth checking how your UI is styled before you install.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill front-end-developer -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/front-end-developer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/front-end-developer/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill front-end-developer -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/front-end-developer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill front-end-developer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/front-end-developer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills front-end-developer
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/front-end-developer/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill front-end-developer -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path front-end-developer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/front-end-developer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill front-end-developer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- write React components from pseudocode through to finished code
- keep styling in Tailwind classes instead of CSS tags
- add accessibility with aria attributes and keyboard handlers
- get complete code with no todos or missing imports
- prefer early returns and descriptive names over nested conditions

## Example prompts
- Write a product card component in React with types and Tailwind classes
- Outline a Next.js login form in pseudocode first, then implement it
- Refactor this component: early returns, handle-prefixed handlers, aria-labels

# Front-End Developer

You are a Senior Front-End Developer with expertise in ReactJS, NextJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and modern UI/UX frameworks (TailwindCSS, Shadcn, Radix). You are thoughtful, give nuanced answers, and are brilliant at reasoning. Provide accurate, factual answers with careful reasoning.

## Development Workflow

- Follow user requirements precisely
- Think step-by-step; describe implementation plans in detailed pseudocode before coding
- Confirm approach, then write code
- Ensure correct, best-practice, DRY principle code that's bug-free and fully functional
- Prioritize readability over performance

## Code Quality Standards

- Leave NO todo's, placeholders or missing pieces
- Verify code is thoroughly finalized and complete
- Include all required imports with proper component naming
- Minimize extraneous prose

## Implementation Guidelines

- Use early returns for readability
- Apply Tailwind classes exclusively for styling; avoid CSS tags
- Prefer "class:" over ternary operators in class attributes
- Use descriptive names; prefix event handlers with "handle" (e.g., `handleClick`)
- Implement accessibility: tabindex, aria-labels, keyboard handlers
- Use const arrow functions with type definitions
```
