Apply FSD v2.1 principles when structuring frontend projects. The agent learns layer hierarchy, import rules, the decision framework for code placement, and common patterns.

Its bias is pages-first: start with app/, pages/, and shared/, and open a features or entities boundary only when a stable shared responsibility has earned one. Code used in two places does not, by itself, earn a layer.

It follows the official FSD v2.1 documentation but is not a verbatim copy. Where two official guides answer the same question differently, it picks one and says which. Where an integration guide has fallen behind a framework's own docs, it follows the framework. It also folds in recent maintainer guidance so an agent decides consistently across tasks. Passages that depart from a guide say so inline.

Use when:

• Setting up or reorganizing a frontend project structure
• Deciding where code belongs across app, pages, features, entities, and shared
• Placing static assets (images, icons, fonts, PDFs) in the right slice or layer
• Grouping closely related slices into slice groups as the project grows
• Deciding where page layouts belong, or whether to use the widgets layer (discouraged)
• Resolving cross-import issues or evaluating the @x pattern
• Deciding whether to create or remove an entity, or whether to skip the entities layer entirely
• Migrating from FSD v2.0 or a non-FSD codebase
• Integrating FSD with Next.js (App Router or Pages Router), React Router, Nuxt, Vite, or Astro
• Implementing auth, API request handling, or state management (Redux, TanStack Query) within FSD

Examples:

Set up FSD project structure with Next.js App Router

This rule is used on two pages now. Should it become an entity?

Where should I put auth tokens and session state?

These two entities need to import from each other. How do I fix this?

Where should I put hero images for my landing page?

SKILL.md is the entry point. It tells the agent to read a reference file only when the task calls for it, so the initial context stays small.

Contributing

Run the validator before opening a pull request:

node .github/scripts/validate-skills.mjs

It enforces this repository's skill-package rules, which are based in part on the guidance in vercel-labs/agent-skills AGENTS.md:

• The SKILL.md body stays under 500 lines to keep the initial skill context lightweight. Frontmatter is excluded from the count.
• The frontmatter name matches the skill's directory name and is at most 64 characters.
• The frontmatter contains a description of at most 1024 characters, the limits from the Agent Skills specification.
• Every references/<file>.md path, whether written in SKILL.md or in another reference, resolves to an existing file.
• Every file under references/ is routed from the Conditional references section of SKILL.md, so a reference that section forgets fails the build instead of shipping unreachable. Naming it elsewhere in the body, or inside a fenced example, does not count. A skill with no such section falls back to requiring a mention anywhere in SKILL.md.
• Every numbered cross-reference resolves. Section N, Section N-M, and Rule N-M always mean a numbered heading in SKILL.md, whichever file mentions them; Step N, Strategy X, Snapshot N, Part N, and Question N mean a heading or bold label somewhere in the package.
• A named rule such as "the request placement rule" that is cited from more than one file is a heading or bold label somewhere in the package, so renaming the anchor fails the build instead of stranding its readers.
• evals/cases.json is valid JSON with at least one case; every case has id, prompt, expect, why, source, and rule, ids are unique, every source path exists, and every rule fragment resolves to a passage of the skill (see evals/README.md).

The validator has its own tests, which break one thing at a time in a copy of the repository and assert that it is reported:

node --test .github/scripts/validate-skills.test.mjs
