Type: L3 Worker
Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap
Frontend structure worker with two modes: SCAFFOLD (generate minimal React project from template) or RESTRUCTURE (migrate monolith to component-based architecture).
Mode Selection
| Mode |
When |
Input |
Output |
| SCAFFOLD |
CREATE pipeline — no existing frontend |
Target stack config from ln-720 |
Minimal React + Vite project (~7 files) |
| RESTRUCTURE |
TRANSFORM pipeline — existing frontend found |
Monolithic React source |
Component-based architecture |
Purpose & Scope
| Aspect |
Description |
| Input |
Target stack config (SCAFFOLD) or monolithic React source (RESTRUCTURE) |
| Output |
Minimal project (SCAFFOLD) or component-based architecture (RESTRUCTURE) |
| Framework |
React + TypeScript + Vite |
Scope boundaries:
- SCAFFOLD: generates minimal starter files, no business logic
- RESTRUCTURE: restructures existing code, does not add new functionality
- Works with React + TypeScript projects
- Applies transformation rules from reference files

SCAFFOLD Mode Phases
Phase S1: Generate Starter Files
Create minimal React + Vite + TypeScript project.
| File |
Purpose |
package.json |
Dependencies: react, react-dom, typescript, vite, @vitejs/plugin-react |
vite.config.ts |
Vite config with React plugin, port, proxy settings |
tsconfig.json |
Strict TypeScript config with path aliases |
index.html |
Entry HTML with root div |
src/main.tsx |
React entry point with StrictMode |
src/App.tsx |
Root App component with router placeholder |
src/index.css |
Base styles (reset, variables, layout) |
Phase S2: Verify Scaffold
| Check |
Method |
Expected |
| All files created |
File existence check |
7 files present |
| package.json valid |
JSON parse |
No syntax errors |
| tsconfig.json valid |
JSON parse |
No syntax errors |
| No hardcoded values |
Content scan |
Project name from config, not hardcoded |
RESTRUCTURE Mode Phases
Phase 1: Analyze
Scan current frontend structure and classify components.
| Step |
Action |
Reference |
| 1.1 |
Scan all .tsx and .ts files in source |
— |
| 1.2 |
Measure file complexity (lines, hooks, types) |
transformation_rules.md |
| 1.3 |
Classify components by category |
component_patterns.md |
| 1.4 |
Build import dependency graph |
import_strategy.md |
Output: Component inventory with classifications and metrics.
Phase 2: Plan
Generate migration plan based on analysis.
| Step |
Action |
Reference |
| 2.1 |
Apply split thresholds to identify files to restructure |
transformation_rules.md |
| 2.2 |
Calculate target paths for each file |
react_folder_structure.md |
| 2.3 |
Identify import updates needed |
import_strategy.md |
| 2.4 |
Detect potential conflicts (name collisions, circular deps) |
— |
Output: Migration plan with Before/After mapping.
Phase 3: Execute
Apply transformations in correct order.
| Step |
Action |
Notes |
| 3.1 |
Create directory structure |
All target folders |
| 3.2 |
Extract types to types.ts |
Types have no dependencies |
| 3.3 |
Extract constants to constants.ts |
Constants depend only on types |
| 3.4 |
Extract hooks to hooks.ts |
Hooks depend on types, constants |
| 3.5 |
Extract sub-components |
Components use all above |
| 3.6 |
Create barrel exports (index.ts) |
For clean imports |
| 3.7 |
Update all import paths |
Fix references |
Order is critical: Execute in sequence to avoid broken imports.
Phase 4: Verify
Validate restructured project.
| Check |
Command |
Expected |
| TypeScript compilation |
npx tsc --noEmit |
No errors |
| Build |
npm run build |
Success |
| No orphan files |
Manual check |
Source location empty |
| Imports resolve |
Build success |
No module not found errors |
Transformation Summary

Critical Rules
- Mode Awareness: SCAFFOLD creates from template; RESTRUCTURE transforms existing — never mix
- Single Responsibility: Handle only frontend structure, no backend changes
- Idempotent: Can re-run without duplicate files or corruption
- Build Verification: Must verify build passes after changes (RESTRUCTURE:
npm run build)
- Preserve Functionality: No behavioral changes, only structural (RESTRUCTURE mode)
- Backup Strategy: Do not delete source files until verification passes (RESTRUCTURE mode)
- Import Consistency: Use path aliases for shared, relative for co-located
Definition of Done

RESTRUCTURE mode:
Risk Mitigation
| Risk |
Detection |
Mitigation |
| Build failure after restructure |
npm run build fails |
Rollback: restore from source, investigate specific error |
| Missing imports |
Module not found errors |
Scan all imports before/after, update missed paths |
| Circular dependencies |
Build warning or runtime error |
Analyze dependency graph, break cycles by extracting shared code |
| Lost functionality |
Tests fail or UI broken |
Run existing tests before/after transformation |
| Name collisions |
Duplicate export names |
Rename with feature prefix before moving |
