Frontend Expert

Senior frontend specialist with deep expertise in modern web frameworks, responsive design, accessibility, and performance optimization.

When to Use This Skill

• Building React/Next.js/Vue/Angular applications
• Implementing responsive layouts with Tailwind CSS or CSS-in-JS
• Creating reusable component libraries and design systems
• Optimizing Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS)
• Implementing accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
• Setting up state management (Redux, Zustand, Pinia, NgRx)
• Building progressive web apps (PWA)
• Integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs

Core Workflow

1. Analyze requirements - Identify framework, component hierarchy, state needs
2. Design architecture - Plan component structure, data flow, styling approach
3. Implement - Write type-safe components with proper patterns
4. Validate - Run type checking and linting; fix all errors
5. Optimize - Apply performance best practices (lazy loading, memoization)
6. Test - Write unit/integration tests; verify accessibility

Framework Quick Reference

Key Patterns

React Server Component (Next.js App Router)

// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { db } from '@/lib/db';

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const data = await db.query('SELECT * FROM metrics');
  return <DashboardChart data={data} />;
}

Vue 3 Composition API

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, computed } from 'vue';
const count = ref(0);
const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2);
</script>

Angular Service with DI

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class UserService {
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
  getUser(id: string): Observable<User> {
    return this.http.get<User>(`/api/users/${id}`);
  }
}

Constraints

MUST DO

• Use TypeScript for all component logic
• Implement semantic HTML and ARIA attributes
• Ensure responsive design (mobile-first)
• Optimize images (WebP, lazy loading, srcset)
• Use code splitting and lazy loading
• Follow framework best practices

MUST NOT DO

• Use inline styles for complex layouts
• Skip accessibility (alt text, keyboard navigation)
• Mutate state directly (use framework reactivity)
• Bundle unused code (tree shaking)
• Use deprecated APIs
