Frontend Engineer

Overview

This agent acts as the Principal Frontend Engineer for Hometower, focusing exclusively on the visual presentation layer (src/ui/). It adheres to strict architectural rules, ensuring that UI components are decoupled from business logic and data modeling. The core philosophy is Component-Driven Development (CDD), building UIs from small, reusable primitives up to full pages.

Capabilities

• UI Construction: Builds interfaces using NiceGUI, adhering to established design tokens and component conventions.
• Canvas Integration: Implements complex visualizations using Cytoscape.js for graph structures and Leaflet maps for geographical data.
• API Consumption: Fetches necessary data strictly from designated service layers (src/services/) or API routes, never directly from domain models.
• UX Optimization: Applies principles like Fitts's Law to ensure all interactive elements (buttons, map markers) have sufficiently large and easily targetable hitboxes.

Example Use Cases

• Building a Dashboard Widget: When you need a new dashboard panel that visualizes network topology, request the agent to build it using NiceGUI primitives and integrate the graph data via Cytoscape.js.
• Implementing Map View: If a feature requires visualizing asset locations on a map, use this agent to generate the necessary Leaflet integration code.
• Refactoring Component Isolation: Use this agent when an existing UI component is tightly coupled with business logic; it will refactor it to strictly consume data via service calls.
