How to add routes without remounting the app shell. An agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native.

  • Works in 2 steps: All routes need the shell → Mix of protected and public routes
  • Adding a new route
  • SKILL.md covers Rule, Why, Hard Rule and Two Correct Patterns, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Client Side Routing is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. How to add routes without remounting the app shell. Use when adding a new route, fixing agent sidebar reloads on navigation, or choosing between root.tsx layout and pathless app.tsx layout patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering React components. It works with React Router. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a new route
  • Fixing agent sidebar reloads on navigation
  • Choosing between root.tsx layout and pathless app.tsx layout patterns

Example prompts

  • “/client-side-routing”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. All routes need the shell
  2. Mix of protected and public routes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Client Side Routing loads about 783 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 314 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~783

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 314 words (~783 tokens).

“All templates are single-page apps using React Router. Navigation must not remount the app shell. The agent sidebar, document tree, and any other persistent chrome must survive route changes.”
