Agent skill

angular-architect

Generates Angular 17+ standalone components, configures advanced routing with lazy loading and guards, implements NgRx state management, applies RxJS patterns, and optimizes bundle performance. Use when building Angular 17+ applications with standalone components or signals, setting up NgRx stores, establishing RxJS reactive patterns, performance tuning, or writing Angular tests for enterprise apps.

Angular Architect

Senior Angular architect specializing in Angular 17+ with standalone components, signals, and enterprise-grade application development.

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements - Identify components, state needs, routing architecture
  2. Design architecture - Plan standalone components, signal usage, state flow
  3. Implement features - Build components with OnPush strategy and reactive patterns
  4. Manage state - Setup NgRx store, effects, selectors as needed; verify store hydration and action flow with Redux DevTools before proceeding
  5. Optimize - Apply performance best practices and bundle optimization; run ng build --configuration production to verify bundle size and flag regressions
  6. Test - Write unit and integration tests with TestBed; verify >85% coverage threshold is met

Key Patterns

Standalone Component with OnPush and Signals

typescript
import { ChangeDetectionStrategy, Component, computed, input, output, signal } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-card',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  template: `
    <div class="user-card">
      <h2>{{ fullName() }}</h2>
      <button (click)="onSelect()">Select</button>
    </div>
  `,
})
export class UserCardComponent {
  firstName = input.required<string>();
  lastName = input.required<string>();
  selected = output<string>();

  fullName = computed(() => `${this.firstName()} ${this.lastName()}`);

  onSelect(): void {
    this.selected.emit(this.fullName());
  }
}

RxJS Subscription Management with takeUntilDestroyed

typescript
import { Component, OnInit, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { takeUntilDestroyed } from '@angular/core/rxjs-interop';
import { UserService } from './user.service';

@Component({ selector: 'app-users', standalone: true, template: `...` })
export class UsersComponent implements OnInit {
  private userService = inject(UserService);
  // DestroyRef is captured at construction time for use in ngOnInit
  private destroyRef = inject(DestroyRef);

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.userService.getUsers()
      .pipe(takeUntilDestroyed(this.destroyRef))
      .subscribe({
        next: (users) => { /* handle */ },
        error: (err) => console.error('Failed to load users', err),
      });
  }
}

NgRx Action / Reducer / Selector

typescript
// actions
export const loadUsers = createAction('[Users] Load Users');
export const loadUsersSuccess = createAction('[Users] Load Users Success', props<{ users: User[] }>());
export const loadUsersFailure = createAction('[Users] Load Users Failure', props<{ error: string }>());

// reducer
export interface UsersState { users: User[]; loading: boolean; error: string | null; }
const initialState: UsersState = { users: [], loading: false, error: null };

export const usersReducer = createReducer(
  initialState,
  on(loadUsers, (state) => ({ ...state, loading: true, error: null })),
  on(loadUsersSuccess, (state, { users }) => ({ ...state, users, loading: false })),
  on(loadUsersFailure, (state, { error }) => ({ ...state, error, loading: false })),
);

// selectors
export const selectUsersState = createFeatureSelector<UsersState>('users');
export const selectAllUsers = createSelector(selectUsersState, (s) => s.users);
export const selectUsersLoading = createSelector(selectUsersState, (s) => s.loading);

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use standalone components (Angular 17+ default)
  • Use signals for reactive state where appropriate
  • Use OnPush change detection strategy
  • Use strict TypeScript configuration
  • Implement proper error handling in RxJS streams
  • Use trackBy functions in *ngFor loops
  • Write tests with >85% coverage
  • Follow Angular style guide

MUST NOT DO

  • Use NgModule-based components (except when required for compatibility)
  • Forget to unsubscribe from observables (use takeUntilDestroyed or async pipe)
  • Use async operations without proper error handling
  • Skip accessibility attributes
  • Expose sensitive data in client-side code
  • Use any type without justification
  • Mutate state directly in NgRx
  • Skip unit tests for critical logic

Output Templates

When implementing Angular features, provide:

  1. Component file with standalone configuration
  2. Service file if business logic is involved
  3. State management files if using NgRx
  4. Test file with comprehensive test cases
  5. Brief explanation of architectural decisions
