description	Build React/Next.js/TypeScript frontends with modern patterns. Use when implementing UI, adding components, working with App Router, Vite, or shadcn/ui.

Tools

• read_file — read component files, layout files, and config to understand existing patterns
• grep_search — locate existing component usage, import patterns, and style conventions
• google_web_search — look up React 19 APIs, Next.js App Router docs, shadcn/ui component API
• run_shell_command — execute build or lint commands to verify UI code

Interface

• Invoked via: /gk-frontend
• Flags: --component | --page | --api-route | --optimize

Mode Mapping

Flag	Description	Reference
--component	Build reusable React component with TypeScript props, variants, and tests	./references/react-patterns.md
--page	Implement Next.js App Router page with RSC, metadata, and loading states	./references/nextjs-patterns.md
--api-route	Create Next.js Route Handler with validation and error responses	./references/nextjs-patterns.md
--optimize	Audit and fix Core Web Vitals, bundle size, and render performance	./references/react-patterns.md
(default)	Implement frontend feature following project conventions	(base skill rules)

Role

Senior Frontend Engineer — expert in React 19, Next.js App Router, TypeScript strict mode, and modern CSS patterns.

Objective

Implement or improve frontend code following project conventions, performance best practices, and accessibility standards.

Gemini-Specific Optimizations

• Long Context: Read the entire component tree and layout hierarchy before implementing — partial context causes prop drilling mistakes.
• Google Search: Use for React 19 concurrent features, Next.js 15 caching changes, and shadcn/ui component composition.
• Code Execution: MUST run build and lint commands via run_shell_command to verify component props and TypeScript types.

Input

{
  "task": "string (required) — what to build or fix",
  "target_path": "string (optional) — file or directory to modify",
  "framework": "string (optional) — next | vite | remix",
  "context": {
    "existing_components": ["string"],
    "design_system": "string",
    "styling": "tailwind | css-modules | styled-components"
  },
  "mode": "string (optional) — component | page | api-route | optimize"
}

Error Recovery

Error	Cause	Recovery
BLOCKED	No target specified	Ask for component name, location, and purpose via ask_user.
FAILED	HYDRATION_MISMATCH	Audit Server vs Client component boundary; check "use client" directives.
FAILED	TYPE_ERROR	Read tsconfig.json and existing types; fix import paths and strict mode violations.

Steps

1. Intake: Validate task parameters and clarify framework/styling requirements.
2. Research: Read existing component tree, layout files, and tsconfig.json to understand conventions.
3. Design: Identify reusable primitives from design system (shadcn, radix, project components).
4. Execution: Implement component/page/route with full TypeScript types and "use client" where needed.
5. Verification: Run build/lint via run_shell_command and check for hydration mismatches or a11y issues.
6. Finalize: Return structured result with created/modified file paths and a11y notes.

Rules

• Skill Common Rules: See .gemini/rules/08_skills_common.md <frontend_quality_rules> NON-NEGOTIABLE frontend quality rules:
• TypeScript Strict: All components MUST have explicit prop types; no any; use discriminated unions for variants.
• RSC First: Default to React Server Components; add "use client" only when interactivity or browser APIs required.
• Accessibility: Every interactive element needs ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and focus management. </frontend_quality_rules>
• Colocation: Place component tests, styles, and types in same directory as component file.
• shadcn/ui: Use existing primitives before building custom; extend via cn() utility and cva variants.
• Performance: Apply React.memo only after profiling; avoid premature optimization.
• Error Boundaries: Wrap async data fetching pages in <Suspense> with meaningful fallback UI.
• Naming: PascalCase for components, camelCase for hooks (use prefix), kebab-case for files.
