Automated safety checks
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.

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)
useEffectand state management hooks likeuseState.
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,useStateoruseReducer. - 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.
