  "textContent": "Every engineering team has experienced this.\n\n**The codebase starts clean.**\n\nA few months later...\n\nComponents become 500+ lines long.\nAnonymous components start appearing everywhere.\nInline callbacks cause unnecessary re-renders.\nArray index keys sneak into production.\nLarge synchronous imports increase bundle size.\nCircular dependencies appear.\nFeature boundaries slowly disappear.\nPerformance regressions are only discovered after deployment.\n\nNone of these issues are syntax errors.\n\nNone of them are TypeScript errors.\n\nMost linters don't understand architectural intent.\n\nBy the time they're discovered during code reviews, they're already spread across the codebase.\n\nThat's why I built Prism Guard.\n\nPrism Guard is an open-source Frontend Architecture Intelligence Platform for React and TypeScript projects.\n\nInstead of only checking formatting or syntax, it analyzes your codebase for architectural, performance, and React best-practice violations.\n\nCurrent capabilities\n\n✅ React architecture rules\n\n  * Nested Components\n  * Inline JSX callbacks\n  * Anonymous Components\n  * Array Index Keys\n  * Excessive useEffect\n  * Large Components\n  * Unstable Context Providers\n\n\n\n✅ Performance analysis\n\n  * Expensive renders\n  * Bundle budget checks\n  * Heavy synchronous imports\n  * Missing lazy loading\n  * Dynamic import recommendations\n\n\n\n✅ Architecture analysis\n\n  * Circular dependencies\n  * Feature boundary violations\n  * Folder structure validation\n  * Component complexity\n  * Excessive props\n  * Dependency direction\n  * Duplicate hooks\n  * Cognitive complexity\n  * Reports\n  * Interactive Console Report\n  * HTML Dashboard\n  * JSON Output\n  * SARIF Output (GitHub Code Scanning ready)\n  * Configurable\n\n\n\nCustomize rules using a simple prism.config.json.\n\nExample:\n\n`{\n\"react\": {\n\"maxHooks\": 3,\n\"maxComponentLines\": 250\n}\n}\nInstallation\nnpm install -D @prism-guard/cli`\n\nRun:\n\n\n\n    `npx prism-guard analyze`\n\n\nWhy I built it\n\nAfter spending years building large-scale frontend platforms, micro-frontends, and design systems, I noticed that most teams have excellent tooling for:\n\nFormatting\nLinting\nUnit testing\nType checking\n\n…but very little that continuously enforces frontend architecture.\n\nPrism Guard aims to fill that gap.\n\nRoadmap\n\nThe first release is only the beginning.\n\nNext up:\n\nGitHub Action\nVS Code Extension\nAI-powered fix suggestions\nCustom Rule SDK\nPlugin ecosystem\nEnterprise dashboards\nIt's Open Source ❤️\n\nI'd love feedback from the community.\n\nWhether you're interested in:\n\nReact\nTypeScript\nASTs\nStatic analysis\nPerformance engineering\nDeveloper tooling\n\nyour contributions are welcome.\n\nIssues, feature requests, rule ideas, and pull requests are all appreciated.\n\nLet's build something that helps frontend teams maintain healthy codebases at scale.\n\nGitHub: https://github.com/Riturathin/prism-guard\n\nnpm:\n\nnpm install -D @prism-guard/cli\n\nIf you find the project interesting, please ⭐ the repository and feel free to contribute!",
