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 mastra-ai/mastra at 788ceed5b3.

    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

The react-best-practices skill enforces modern React development standards within Mastra AI agents, ensuring code is modular, type-safe, and maintainable. It automatically applies architectural patterns like component composition and state management best practices to your agent's frontend logic.

When to use it

  • Building new Mastra AI agents that require a robust, scalable React interface.
  • Refactoring existing agent codebases to align with current React ecosystem standards.
  • Ensuring consistent coding styles and patterns across multiple team members working on the same project.
  • Integrating complex UI components into an AI agent without introducing technical debt.

Key capabilities

  • Enforces modern React component architecture and composition patterns.
  • Applies type safety principles to reduce runtime errors in agent interactions.
  • Standardizes state management approaches for predictable data flow.
  • Promotes modular code structures for easier testing and maintenance.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a React component for the Mastra AI chat interface following best practices."
  • "Refactor this existing agent UI to use modern React patterns and improve modularity."
  • "Create a type-safe hook for managing AI conversation state within a Mastra project."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your development environment supports the latest React versions before installing, as the skill relies on modern syntax. While this skill optimizes structure, you must still manually verify that generated components align with specific business logic requirements unique to your agent's domain.
