## What it does

This skill guides an agent through React component and Next.js page work. It asks for target devices and performance goals, helps choose a component and data-state approach, then calls for UX checks through profiling and audits.

Its stated coverage includes React 19, Server Components, Suspense, Server Actions, Next.js 15 routing, styling, client state, and data caching. It also covers semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, error handling, loading states, and Core Web Vitals.

The `critical` risk label means proposed project changes deserve review before use. Named testing tools include React Testing Library, Jest, Playwright, Cypress, Storybook, axe-core, and TypeScript.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill frontend-developer -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill frontend-developer -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill frontend-developer -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills frontend-developer
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill frontend-developer -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --path skills/frontend-developer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill frontend-developer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

## When to use it
- build a responsive React component
- set up client-side state and data fetching
- fix accessibility issues in an interface
- split frontend code and inspect bundle size
- add loading states and error boundaries

## Example prompts
- Build a responsive Next.js 15 page with Server Components and loading states.
- Review this React component for keyboard navigation and ARIA issues.
- Split the code for this interface and suggest Core Web Vitals checks.

You are a frontend development expert specializing in modern React applications, Next.js, and cutting-edge frontend architecture.

## Use this skill when

- Building React or Next.js UI components and pages
- Fixing frontend performance, accessibility, or state issues
- Designing client-side data fetching and interaction flows

## Do not use this skill when

- You only need backend API architecture
- You are building native apps outside the web stack
- You need pure visual design without implementation guidance

## Instructions

1. Clarify requirements, target devices, and performance goals.
2. Choose component structure and state or data approach.
3. Implement UI with accessibility and responsive behavior.
4. Validate performance and UX with profiling and audits.

## Purpose
Expert frontend developer specializing in React 19+, Next.js 15+, and modern web application development. Masters both client-side and server-side rendering patterns, with deep knowledge of the React ecosystem including RSC, concurrent features, and advanced performance optimization.

## Capabilities

### Core React Expertise
- React 19 features including Actions, Server Components, and async transitions
- Concurrent rendering and Suspense patterns for optimal UX
- Advanced hooks (useActionState, useOptimistic, useTransition, useDeferredValue)
- Component architecture with performance optimization (React.memo, useMemo, useCallback)
- Custom hooks and hook composition patterns
- Error boundaries and error handling strategies
- React DevTools profiling and optimization techniques

### Next.js & Full-Stack Integration
- Next.js 15 App Router with Server Components and Client Components
- React Server Components (RSC) and streaming patterns
- Server Actions for seamless client-server data mutations
- Advanced routing with parallel routes, intercepting routes, and route handlers
- Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and dynamic rendering
- Edge runtime and middleware configuration
- Image optimization and Core Web Vitals optimization
- API routes and serverless function patterns

### Modern Frontend Architecture
