Paths: File paths (shared/ , references/ , ../ln-* ) are relative to skills repo root. If not found at CWD, locate this SKILL.md directory and go up one level for repo root. If shared/ is missing, fetch files via WebFetch from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/levnikolaevich/claude-code-skills/master/skills/{path} .
ln-721-frontend-restructure
Type: L3 Worker Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap
Frontend structure worker with two modes: SCAFFOLD (generate minimal React project from template) or RESTRUCTURE (migrate monolith to component-based architecture).
Mode Selection
Mode When Input Output
SCAFFOLD CREATE pipeline — no existing frontend Target stack config from ln-720 Minimal React + Vite project (~7 files)
RESTRUCTURE TRANSFORM pipeline — existing frontend found Monolithic React source Component-based architecture
Purpose & Scope
Aspect Description
Input Target stack config (SCAFFOLD) or monolithic React source (RESTRUCTURE)
Output Minimal project (SCAFFOLD) or component-based architecture (RESTRUCTURE)
Framework React + TypeScript + Vite
Scope boundaries:
-
SCAFFOLD: generates minimal starter files, no business logic
-
RESTRUCTURE: restructures existing code, does not add new functionality
-
Works with React + TypeScript projects
-
Applies transformation rules from reference files
Workflow
SCAFFOLD Mode (CREATE pipeline)
Phase Name Actions Output
S1 Generate Create minimal React + Vite + TypeScript project files ~7 starter files
S2 Verify Check file structure, validate configs Valid project skeleton
RESTRUCTURE Mode (TRANSFORM pipeline)
Phase Name Actions Output
1 Analyze Scan source, detect component types, measure complexity File inventory, complexity metrics
2 Plan Apply split thresholds, calculate file moves, detect conflicts Migration plan
3 Execute Create folders, extract content, update imports Restructured files
4 Verify Run build, check imports, validate structure Build success report
SCAFFOLD Mode Phases
Phase S1: Generate Starter Files
Create minimal React + Vite + TypeScript project.
File Purpose
package.json
Dependencies: react, react-dom, typescript, vite, @vitejs/plugin-react
vite.config.ts
Vite config with React plugin, port, proxy settings
tsconfig.json
Strict TypeScript config with path aliases
index.html
Entry HTML with root div
src/main.tsx
React entry point with StrictMode
src/App.tsx
Root App component with router placeholder
src/index.css
Base styles (reset, variables, layout)
Phase S2: Verify Scaffold
Check Method Expected
All files created File existence check 7 files present
package.json valid JSON parse No syntax errors
tsconfig.json valid JSON parse No syntax errors
No hardcoded values Content scan Project name from config, not hardcoded
RESTRUCTURE Mode Phases
Phase 1: Analyze
Scan current frontend structure and classify components.
Step Action Reference
1.1 Scan all .tsx and .ts files in source —
1.2 Measure file complexity (lines, hooks, types) transformation_rules.md
1.3 Classify components by category component_patterns.md
1.4 Build import dependency graph import_strategy.md
Output: Component inventory with classifications and metrics.
Phase 2: Plan
Generate migration plan based on analysis.
Step Action Reference
2.1 Apply split thresholds to identify files to restructure transformation_rules.md
2.2 Calculate target paths for each file react_folder_structure.md
2.3 Identify import updates needed import_strategy.md
2.4 Detect potential conflicts (name collisions, circular deps) —
Output: Migration plan with Before/After mapping.
Phase 3: Execute
Apply transformations in correct order.
Step Action Notes
3.1 Create directory structure All target folders
3.2 Extract types to types.ts
Types have no dependencies
3.3 Extract constants to constants.ts
Constants depend only on types
3.4 Extract hooks to hooks.ts
Hooks depend on types, constants
3.5 Extract sub-components Components use all above
3.6 Create barrel exports (index.ts ) For clean imports
3.7 Update all import paths Fix references
Order is critical: Execute in sequence to avoid broken imports.
Phase 4: Verify
Validate restructured project.
Check Command Expected
TypeScript compilation npx tsc --noEmit
No errors
Build npm run build
Success
No orphan files Manual check Source location empty
Imports resolve Build success No module not found errors
Transformation Summary
Transformation Before State After State
Component Split Single file >300 lines Feature folder with co-located files
Type Extraction Inline interfaces Separate types.ts
Constant Extraction Inline magic values Separate constants.ts
Hook Extraction Inline useState/useEffect Separate hooks.ts or shared hooks
UI Component Move Scattered in features Centralized in components/ui/
Layout Component Move Mixed with features Centralized in components/layout/
Critical Rules
-
Mode Awareness: SCAFFOLD creates from template; RESTRUCTURE transforms existing — never mix
-
Single Responsibility: Handle only frontend structure, no backend changes
-
Idempotent: Can re-run without duplicate files or corruption
-
Build Verification: Must verify build passes after changes (RESTRUCTURE: npm run build )
-
Preserve Functionality: No behavioral changes, only structural (RESTRUCTURE mode)
-
Backup Strategy: Do not delete source files until verification passes (RESTRUCTURE mode)
-
Import Consistency: Use path aliases for shared, relative for co-located
Definition of Done
SCAFFOLD mode:
-
All 7 starter files generated
-
package.json and tsconfig.json valid
-
No hardcoded project names (uses config values)
RESTRUCTURE mode:
-
All source files analyzed and classified
-
Migration plan generated with Before/After mapping
-
Directory structure created per template
-
All extractions completed (types, constants, hooks, components)
-
Import paths updated throughout project
-
npm run build passes successfully
-
No orphan imports or missing files
-
Barrel exports created for shared folders
Risk Mitigation
Risk Detection Mitigation
Build failure after restructure npm run build fails Rollback: restore from source, investigate specific error
Missing imports Module not found errors Scan all imports before/after, update missed paths
Circular dependencies Build warning or runtime error Analyze dependency graph, break cycles by extracting shared code
Lost functionality Tests fail or UI broken Run existing tests before/after transformation
Name collisions Duplicate export names Rename with feature prefix before moving
