When should I use this specific skill?

Use this skill during the integration phase when you need to connect your frontend components to actual backend endpoints and manage live data state.

What architecture does this skill use for API calls?

It implements a 3-layer structure consisting of a base API client (fetch/axios wrapper), a domain-specific service layer, and React hooks for UI consumption.

Does it support authentication handling?

Yes, it includes patterns for automatic Bearer token injection into headers and centralized handling of 401 unauthorized errors.

How does it handle API errors?

It provides a global error handler and standardized ApiError classes to manage validation errors, network failures, and server-side exceptions consistently.

Is it compatible with Next.js?

Yes, the provided folder structures and implementation patterns are optimized for modern React frameworks, including Next.js App and Pages routers.

Design Tools

Implements production-ready UI components and establishes robust frontend-backend API integration patterns using a structured 3-layer architecture.

About

This skill facilitates the transition from static mockups to functional applications by implementing a sophisticated 3-layer API client architecture. It guides Claude to handle complex state management, centralized error handling, and domain-specific service layers, ensuring scalable and maintainable frontend code. Following the bkit PDCA methodology, it automates the creation of page components, feature-specific hooks, and standardized API wrappers to bridge the gap between UI design and backend logic.

Key Features

Centralized error handling with standardized API error classes
Post-implementation automated QA and documentation scripts
6 GitHub stars
Feature-based component organization for scalable frontend architecture
3-Layer API Client architecture (Client, Service, and Hooks layers)
Automatic authentication token injection and interceptor patterns

Use Cases

Connecting a React or Next.js frontend to a RESTful backend API
Refactoring scattered API calls into a centralized, maintainable service layer
Implementing robust state management and error UI for data-driven features
