Web Projects

Auto-activate when: Working with package.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, tsconfig.json, .eslintrc, vite.config., next.config., .jsx, .tsx, .vue, *.svelte, or when user mentions React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, npm, yarn, pnpm, or frontend development.

Guidelines for modern JavaScript/TypeScript web projects.

Project Structure Recognition

Package Managers

• Check package.json for dependencies and scripts
• Detect from lock files: package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml

Framework Detection

Look for framework-specific configuration files:

• Next.js: next.config.js, next.config.ts
• Vite: vite.config.js, vite.config.ts
• React: Check package.json dependencies
• Vue: vue.config.js, vite.config.ts with Vue plugin
• Angular: angular.json
• Svelte: svelte.config.js

Development Workflow

Package Manager Usage

Respect the project's package manager:

• npm: npm install, npm run, npm test
• yarn: yarn install, yarn, yarn test
• pnpm: pnpm install, pnpm run, pnpm test

Detection: Lock file or config (.npmrc, .yarnrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml)

Common Scripts

Check package.json "scripts" section for:

• dev or start - Development server
• build - Production build
• test - Run tests
• lint - Linting
• format - Code formatting

Code Patterns

Component Patterns

• Respect existing patterns - Don't change established structure
• Check naming conventions and import/export patterns
• Review existing components directory

Testing Setup

• Respect existing test framework - Jest, Vitest, Testing Library, Cypress, Playwright
• Check config in package.json or dedicated files
• Follow established patterns and naming (.test.js, .spec.ts, etc.)

Styling Approach

Identify and follow the project's styling method:

• CSS Modules (.module.css)
• Styled Components / Emotion
• Tailwind CSS (tailwind.config.js)
• SASS/SCSS (.scss files)
• Plain CSS

Configuration Files

Common Config Files

• tsconfig.json - TypeScript configuration
• .eslintrc - Linting rules
• .prettierrc - Code formatting
• jest.config.js or vitest.config.ts - Test configuration
• .env.local, .env.development - Environment variables

Quick Reference

Common mistakes to avoid:

• ❌ Mixing package managers
• ❌ Changing test framework without discussion

Note: Web projects vary greatly - always check the project's specific configuration and patterns before making assumptions.
