Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides best practices for building React applications, including component structure, state management, performance optimization, and accessibility standards. It emphasizes clean code patterns and modern development techniques to ensure scalable and maintainable frontend solutions.

When to use it

  • When starting a new React project and looking for guidance on structuring your application
  • When refactoring an existing React app to improve performance or readability
  • When preparing for a code review and needing to align with industry standards

Key capabilities

  • Guidance on component composition and separation of concerns
  • Recommendations for state management (e.g., hooks, context API)
  • Optimization strategies like memoization and lazy loading
  • Accessibility best practices for inclusive UI development

Example prompts

  • "How should I structure my React components for better maintainability?"
  • "What are the best practices for managing global state in a large React app?"
  • "Can you provide tips on optimizing React performance with hooks?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your project is using React 18 or newer to take full advantage of modern features like concurrent mode.
  • While following best practices, balance them with project-specific needs—don’t over-engineer for simple use cases.
