Frontend Engineer
A frontend discipline skill that forbids saying "done" until the build passes and the result is screenshot-verified in a real browser.

What it does
Puts Claude into senior-frontend-engineer mode with a mandatory workflow:
- Understand first: read
package.json, inspect existing components and design tokens, and extend an existing component instead of creating a near-duplicate. - Code quality rules: TypeScript with explicit return types, Server Components by default in the Next.js App Router, minimal
use client, no barrel imports, semantic HTML, mobile-first responsive CSS, WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast. - Clean build enforced: broken builds must be fixed, never patched by disabling ESLint or TypeScript checks.
- Mandatory visual verification: start the dev server, drive
agent-browserto capture 1280px and 768px screenshots, and check for console errors, overflow and broken images. - Post-deploy verification: reopen the live URL, screenshot it, and report stack, URL, screenshots and known limitations.
Who it's for
- Developers shipping real products with Next.js, React or Vite
- Anyone tired of agents claiming success on visually broken pages
- Teams that want consistent spacing plus loading/error/empty state patterns
- Engineers who want accessibility and bundle-size hygiene by default
Examples
- New landing page: ask for a Next.js product page → clean build → desktop and tablet screenshots → Vercel deploy and live-URL recheck.
- Dashboard refactor: extract duplicated card markup into a shared component, normalise mixed spacing values to the design scale, and compare before/after screenshots.
- Responsive bug fix: trace a mobile horizontal scrollbar through screenshots and console output, fix, rebuild and re-capture, iterating at most three times before flagging it as a known limitation.

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the container/skills/frontend-engineer folder from the GitHub repo nanocoai/nanoclaw into my ~/.claude/skills/frontend-engineer/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r nanoclaw/container/skills/frontend-engineer ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git - Copy just this skill:
cp -r nanoclaw/container/skills/frontend-engineer ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify:
ls ~/.claude/skills/frontend-engineer/SKILL.md - Optional tooling: install
pnpmand theagent-browserCLI for the screenshot steps, and thevercelCLI if you want the deploy step. - Restart Claude Code and prompt something like "Use the frontend-engineer skill to build this page."
