What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents frontend development from proceeding without a proper frontend specification document, reducing errors and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Spec Creation: Checks for the existence of frontend_spec.md and creates it if missing, based on project design system and related files.
  • Hook Integration: Fires automatically before frontend code writes to ensure specifications are in place.
  • Manual Invocation: Allows manual triggering to generate or update specifications with design references or style instructions.
  • Context Awareness: Detects project files like CLAUDE.md, PRD, ADRs, and design tokens to populate project context into specifications.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill manually when starting a new frontend feature to generate or update the frontend_spec.md with current project insights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure a frontend specification document exists before development begins?

To ensure a frontend specification exists, this skill checks for a frontend_spec.md file and automatically generates it using project design system references and code context. It fires before code writes to prevent development without proper specifications.

Can I automatically generate a frontend spec from design tokens and PRD files?

Yes, you can automatically generate a frontend spec from design tokens and PRD files. The skill detects project files like CLAUDE.md, PRD, ADRs, and design tokens to populate project context into the specification document.

What is the best way to maintain consistent frontend development workflows across a team?

Maintaining consistent frontend workflows is achieved by integrating automated spec checks that fire before code writes. This ensures the frontend specification is always up to date with current design references and reduces miscommunication.

How do I manually trigger a frontend specification update with new style instructions?

You manually trigger a frontend specification update by invoking the skill when starting a new feature. This allows you to generate or update the frontend_spec.md with current design references or specific style instructions.

Does this frontend specification automation work without existing project documentation?

The frontend specification automation works best with existing project documentation but can create a spec if missing. It detects context files like ADRs and design tokens to populate the specification, though manual invocation can supply style instructions directly.
