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 secondsky/claude-skills at 8837836131.

    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 helps AI agents understand and apply React composition patterns for building flexible and maintainable user interfaces. It focuses on avoiding excessive boolean props, utilizing compound components, managing state effectively, and composing component internals. Applying these patterns makes codebases easier to work with, both for humans and AI agents, as they grow in complexity.

When to use it

  • When refactoring React components that have many boolean props.
  • During the design of reusable component libraries.
  • To create flexible APIs for your React components.
  • When reviewing the overall architecture of a React codebase.
  • When working with compound components or context providers.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance on avoiding boolean props and using composition instead.
  • Offers strategies for structuring complex components with shared context (compound components).
  • Suggests techniques for managing state within provider components and defining generic interfaces for dependency injection.
  • Recommends creating explicit variant components rather than relying on boolean modes.
  • Promotes the use of children for component composition over render props.

Example prompts

  • "How can I refactor this React component to avoid using so many boolean props?"
  • "What are some best practices for structuring a complex React component with shared context?"
  • "Suggest an alternative to render props in this React component."

Tips & gotchas

  • Each rule has its own detailed explanation and code examples available in the rules/ directory (e.g., rules/architecture-avoid-boolean-props.md). Refer to these files for more comprehensive guidance.
  • This skill is specifically focused on React composition patterns; it does not cover all aspects of frontend development or general coding tasks.
