Install target

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 academind/ai-config at d7ca62f6a4.

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

2 files, 794 lines
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 guides AI agents in writing React components following modern best practices (React 19+). It emphasizes clarity, correctness, and maintainability by providing recommendations on component structure, state management, rendering techniques, and event handling. The goal is to produce clean, efficient, and easily understandable React code for building user interfaces.

When to use it

  • When you need help structuring a new React component.
  • When refactoring existing React components to improve readability or performance.
  • To ensure your React code adheres to modern best practices and avoids common pitfalls.
  • When implementing data fetching using TanStack Query.
  • For guidance on when to use (or avoid) useEffect and state management hooks like useState.

Key capabilities

  • Component Structure: Encourages small, focused components with single responsibility.
  • Function Components: Prefers named function components over arrow functions in most cases.
  • TypeScript Support: Recommends explicit return types and props typing where applicable.
  • State Management Guidance: Provides advice on avoiding unnecessary useEffect, useState or useReducer.
  • Rendering Optimization: Suggests computing derived values inline and using useMemo() judiciously.
  • Event Handling Best Practices: Promotes defining event handlers as named functions instead of inline JSX.

Example prompts

  • "Write a React component for displaying a user profile, following modern best practices."
  • "Refactor this existing React component to reduce nesting and improve readability: [paste component code here]"
  • "How should I handle data fetching in this React component?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill focuses on React 19+ features and patterns. Older versions might require adjustments.
  • Be mindful of the recommendations regarding useEffect – review the linked guide for detailed reasoning.
  • Prioritize code clarity over premature optimization; avoid using useMemo() unless a performance issue is identified.
