Project Helper Skill

This skill provides project-specific assistance, including coding standards enforcement, component generation, and test creation.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

• Asks about project conventions or standards
• Wants to create new components or modules
• Needs to generate tests for existing code
• Requests code style checking or formatting
• Asks for project-specific help or guidance

Project Standards

File Naming Conventions

• Components: PascalCase (UserProfile.tsx)
• Utilities: camelCase (formatDate.ts)
• Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE in files (API_ENDPOINTS.ts)
• Tests: Same name with .test suffix (UserProfile.test.tsx)

Code Style

Follow the configured code style preset. Key rules:

1. Imports: Group and sort imports

   • External packages first
   • Internal modules second
   • Relative imports last
   • Separate groups with blank lines

2. Exports: Prefer named exports over default exports

3. Functions: Prefer arrow functions for components

4. Types: Define types/interfaces above their usage

Component Structure

React components should follow this structure:

// 1. Imports
import React from 'react';
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

import { Button } from '@/components/ui';
import { formatDate } from '@/utils';

import styles from './ComponentName.module.css';

// 2. Types
interface ComponentNameProps {
  title: string;
  onAction: () => void;
}

// 3. Component
export const ComponentName: React.FC<ComponentNameProps> = ({
  title,
  onAction,
}) => {
  // 3a. Hooks
  const { data, isLoading } = useQuery(['key'], fetchData);

  // 3b. Handlers
  const handleClick = () => {
    onAction();
  };

  // 3c. Render helpers
  const renderContent = () => {
    if (isLoading) return <Loading />;
    return <Content data={data} />;
  };

  // 3d. Return
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      {renderContent()}
      <Button onClick={handleClick}>Action</Button>
    </div>
  );
};

Creating Components

When asked to create a component:

1. Determine the component type:

   • Page component (routes)
   • Feature component (self-contained features)
   • UI component (reusable UI elements)
   • Layout component (structural layouts)

2. Create the file structure:

   ComponentName/
   |-- index.ts           # Re-exports
   |-- ComponentName.tsx  # Main component
   |-- ComponentName.test.tsx  # Tests
   +-- ComponentName.module.css  # Styles (if needed)
   

3. Generate boilerplate following project standards

4. Add basic tests

Component Generation Template

// ComponentName.tsx
import React from 'react';

interface {ComponentName}Props {
  // Add props here
}

export const {ComponentName}: React.FC<{ComponentName}Props> = (props) => {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Component content */}
    </div>
  );
};

// index.ts
export { {ComponentName} } from './{ComponentName}';
export type { {ComponentName}Props } from './{ComponentName}';

Generating Tests

When asked to generate tests:

1. Identify what to test:

   • Components: Render, interactions, states
   • Functions: Input/output, edge cases, errors
   • Hooks: State changes, side effects

2. Follow testing patterns:

Component Test Template

import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';

import { ComponentName } from './ComponentName';

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  it('renders correctly', () => {
    render(<ComponentName title="Test" />);
    expect(screen.getByText('Test')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it('handles user interaction', () => {
    const onAction = vi.fn();
    render(<ComponentName title="Test" onAction={onAction} />);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
    expect(onAction).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });

  it('displays loading state', () => {
    render(<ComponentName title="Test" isLoading />);
    expect(screen.getByTestId('loading')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

Function Test Template

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

import { functionName } from './functionName';

describe('functionName', () => {
  it('handles normal input', () => {
    expect(functionName('input')).toBe('expected');
  });

  it('handles edge cases', () => {
    expect(functionName('')).toBe('');
    expect(functionName(null)).toBeNull();
  });

  it('throws on invalid input', () => {
    expect(() => functionName(undefined)).toThrow();
  });
});

Code Style Checking

When asked to check code style:

1. Review the code against project standards
2. Identify issues with specific line references
3. Provide fixes or suggestions
4. Optionally auto-fix if enabled in configuration

Common Issues to Check

• Import organization
• Naming conventions
• TypeScript types (no any)
• Proper error handling
• Accessibility attributes
• Performance concerns (unnecessary re-renders)

Responding to Requests

"Create a component for [X]"

1. Ask clarifying questions if needed (type, features)
2. Generate the component following standards
3. Include index file and basic tests
4. Explain any decisions made

"Generate tests for [file]"

1. Read the file to understand its purpose
2. Identify testable aspects
3. Generate comprehensive tests
4. Include edge cases and error scenarios

"Check this code"

1. Review against project standards
2. List issues with severity (error, warning, suggestion)
3. Provide corrected code snippets
4. Explain the reasoning

"Help with [project task]"

1. Understand the context
2. Reference relevant project standards
3. Provide step-by-step guidance
4. Offer to generate any needed code

Configuration

This skill uses the following configuration options:

• projectName: Used in generated comments and documentation
• codeStyle: Determines which style rules to enforce
• testFramework: Determines test syntax and patterns
• componentPath: Default location for new components
• enableAutoFix: When true, offer to automatically fix issues

Notes

• Always follow existing patterns in the codebase when available
• Prefer consistency with existing code over strict rules
• Ask for clarification when requirements are ambiguous
• Explain the "why" behind suggestions, not just the "what"
