Feature-Driven Development (FDD) Architecture

Organize code by what it does, not what it is. Each feature is a self-contained vertical slice owning all its layers.

Mandatory Folder Structure

src/
├── features/
│   ├── <feature-name>/
│   │   ├── components/   # UI components for this feature
│   │   ├── hooks/        # Data fetching, state, side-effects
│   │   ├── services/     # API calls, business logic
│   │   ├── types/        # TypeScript interfaces/types
│   │   └── index.ts      # Public API (REQUIRED)
│   └── shared/           # Cross-feature business logic
└── components/ui/        # Universal UI primitives (Button, Input)

The Public API Rule

Features communicate only through their index.ts barrel file. Never import from a sub-path.

// ✅ Correct
import { useAuth, LoginForm } from '@/features/auth';

// ❌ Wrong — leaks internals
import { LoginForm } from '@/features/auth/components/LoginForm';

Feature index.ts template:

// features/<name>/index.ts — public feature API
export * from './components';
export * from './hooks';
export * from './services';
export * from './types';

The assets/feature-template/ directory contains a ready-to-copy scaffold.

Workflow: Creating a New Feature

1. Copy assets/feature-template/ → src/features/<name>/
2. Populate types/ first to define the data model
3. Implement services/ and hooks/
4. Build components/ using the established logic
5. Export the public API from index.ts

Workflow: Migrating a Legacy Project

For migrating a layered structure (e.g., src/components/, src/hooks/) to FDD:

Read references/migration-guide.md for the full 4-phase process.

Quick Start with Scripts

1. Audit the project (run from project root):

node path/to/skill/scripts/analyze-migration.js

Outputs a full report grouping existing files into FDD feature candidates. Use this before touching any files.

2. Move files (run per feature, per layer):

node path/to/skill/scripts/scaffold-feature-move.js <feature> <layer> <files...>

• Creates the FDD directory structure
• Moves files to the correct layer
• Auto-updates index.ts barrel exports

Valid layers: components | hooks | services | types

Token optimization: Run the audit script first to generate a full project map in one shot, avoiding repeated list_dir calls across the codebase.

Shared Code Rules

| Code | Location | | :--- | :--- | | Used by 2+ features | src/features/shared/ | | Pure UI primitive (Button, Input) | src/components/ui/ | | Global state store | src/store/ | | App entrypoint, router | src/ root, unchanged |
