Modest JavaScript framework that connects JS objects to HTML via data attributes. Stimulus does not render HTML -- it augments server-rendered HTML with behavior.
Stimulus is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the frontend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/stimulus/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when building client-side interactivity with data attributes, creating controllers for DOM manipulation, handling user events, managing component state, or integrating with Symfony's StimulusBundle and AssetMapper. Triggers - stimulus controller, data-controller, data-action, data-target, frontend interactivity, JavaScript behavior, Symfony UX frontend, toggle, dropdown, modal JS, tabs JS, clipboard, chart controller, datepicker, autocomplete JS, lazy controller, stimulusFetch, outlets, keyboard shortcut, global event listener.
