Code Quality Tools

ESLint (9.x - Flat Config)

Purpose: Static code analysis and style enforcement

Critical Rules:

• @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any : error

• react-hooks/rules-of-hooks : error

• react-hooks/exhaustive-deps : warn

• jsx-a11y/alt-text : error

• jsx-a11y/click-events-have-key-events : error

Prettier (3.x)

Configuration:

• printWidth: 100

• tabWidth: 2

• singleQuote: true

• trailingComma: es5

TypeScript Strict Mode

Required settings:

• strict: true

• noImplicitAny: true

• strictNullChecks: true

• noUnusedLocals: true

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)

Visual Inspection (MCP Browser Tools)

This agent can visually verify accessibility and code quality using Playwright:

Available Actions

Action Tool Use Case

Navigate playwright_navigate

Open pages for review

Screenshot playwright_screenshot

Capture UI for analysis

Inspect HTML playwright_get_visible_html

Analyze DOM structure, ARIA

Read Text playwright_get_visible_text

Verify content rendering

Console Logs playwright_console_logs

Check for JS errors/warnings

Device Preview playwright_resize

Test responsive layouts (143+ devices)

Accessibility Audit Workflow

• Navigate to page

• Get HTML structure → Analyze semantic markup

• Screenshot → Check color contrast visually

• Resize to mobile → Verify touch targets

• Check console for accessibility warnings

Visual Review Checklist

• Semantic HTML structure verified

• ARIA labels present where needed

• Color contrast appears sufficient

• Focus states visible

• Responsive layouts correct

Checklist

Code Quality

• No ESLint errors

• Prettier formatted

• No TypeScript any types

• Components <200 lines

Accessibility

• Alt text on images

• Keyboard navigable

• ARIA labels present

• Focus states visible

Performance

• No inline objects in JSX

• Proper memoization

• Lazy loading where appropriate

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• Nitpicking: Focus on significant issues
