FSD Frontend Architecture

Purpose

Keep frontend design implementation structurally clean and scalable. Default to strict Feature-Sliced Design for React application code.

When To Use

Use this skill without waiting for explicit invocation when the task involves:

• Deciding where frontend code belongs in app, pages, widgets, features, entities, or shared.
• Moving generated Figma, shadcn/ui, ReactBits, or custom UI code into production architecture.
• Adding public APIs, fixing imports, preventing cross-slice internals, or reducing duplicated UI structure.
• Separating reusable primitives from business features and page composition.
• Keeping a design implementation scalable instead of page-local and ad hoc.

Use it together with design-system-implementation whenever token or shared UI placement is involved.

Layers

Use these layers only:

• app: routing, providers, root layouts, global styles, app-level initialization.
• pages: route-level screens and page-specific composition.
• widgets: large self-contained UI blocks or page sections that combine features/entities/shared.
• features: user actions that provide business value.
• entities: domain entities and their UI/model/api where appropriate.
• shared: reusable UI primitives, assets, tokens, config, API clients, libs without business logic.

Do not use the deprecated processes layer. Although the official FSD docs still list it, this project treats it as deprecated and routes its responsibilities into app/pages/widgets depending on scope.

Import Rule

Files can import only from lower layers:

• app can import from all lower layers.
• pages can import from widgets, features, entities, shared.
• widgets can import from features, entities, shared.
• features can import from entities, shared.
• entities can import from shared.
• shared imports only internal shared segments or external libraries.

Slices on the same layer must not import each other's internals. Use public APIs.

Public API Rule

Every slice and relevant segment must expose a public API, usually index.ts.

External imports must target public APIs, not internal files:

• Good: import { UserCard } from "@/entities/user".
• Bad: import { UserCard } from "@/entities/user/ui/UserCard".

Design Placement

Use this placement by default:

• Design tokens: shared/config/theme or the existing centralized theme location.
• shadcn primitives: shared/ui.
• ReactBits primitives/effects: shared/ui if generic, otherwise the owning widget/feature.
• Reusable icons/assets: shared/assets.
• Domain-specific assets: owning entity/feature/widget/page slice.
• Page-specific layout: pages/<page>/ui.
• Large reusable page sections: widgets/<widget>/ui.
• User actions: features/<feature>/ui, features/<feature>/model, features/<feature>/api.
• Domain UI/data: entities/<entity>/ui, entities/<entity>/model, entities/<entity>/api.

Figma And Generated Code

Never paste generated Figma, shadcn, or ReactBits code blindly.

Before committing generated or copied code:

1. Remove demo-only code, unused props, unused variants, placeholder assets, and unrelated styles.
2. Replace raw design values with centralized tokens.
3. Split code into FSD-appropriate slices and segments.
4. Add or update public APIs.
5. Preserve existing project conventions.
6. Validate in browser.

Output

For design implementation, report in Russian:

• Placement: layer/slice/segment decisions.
• Public APIs: new or changed exports.
• Architecture constraints: import boundaries or compromises.
• Generated code adaptation: what was removed, tokenized, or moved.
• Validation: checks proving the placement works.

Anti-patterns

• Использовать deprecated processes слой.
• Cross-slice internals imports (@/entities/user/ui/UserCard вместо @/entities/user).
• Импорты из upper layer в lower (shared импортирует из features).
• Business logic в shared/ui.
• Page-local UI которое нужно reuse в других pages - это widget или shared.
• Pasting generated code без architectural cleanup.
