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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
The react-modernization skill helps update legacy React applications to modern standards, including migration to newer versions of React and associated libraries. It provides tools for refactoring code, improving performance, and ensuring compatibility with current best practices.
When to use it
- You are maintaining an older React application that needs updates to stay secure and performant.
- Your team wants to adopt new React features like hooks or concurrent mode without rewriting the entire app.
- You need to ensure your React codebase aligns with modern development standards and linters.
Key capabilities
- Code refactoring for modern React patterns (e.g., hooks, functional components).
- Compatibility checks for newer versions of React and related libraries.
- Performance optimization suggestions based on current best practices.
Example prompts
- "Refactor this component to use React hooks instead of class-based syntax."
- "Check if this React app is compatible with version 18 and suggest updates."
- "Optimize the performance of this legacy React application using modern techniques."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your project has up-to-date dependencies before running modernization tools.
- Some legacy code may require manual review after automated refactoring to ensure correctness.
