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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: raw.githubusercontent.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    raw.githubusercontent.comsource host

  • 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 shapeshift/web at 3c7b2021b7.

    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 provides guidance and code examples for implementing React best practices. It helps developers write more maintainable, performant, and scalable React applications by suggesting improvements to existing code or providing templates for new components. The skill focuses on common patterns and techniques used by experienced React developers.

When to use it

  • Code review: Get suggestions for improving the quality and efficiency of existing React codebases.
  • New component development: Generate well-structured and optimized React components from scratch.
  • Learning React best practices: Understand common patterns and techniques used by experienced React developers.
  • Refactoring legacy code: Modernize older React applications by applying current best practices.

Key capabilities

  • Component structure optimization
  • Performance improvements
  • Maintainability enhancements
  • Code style suggestions
  • Pattern implementation (e.g., hooks, context)

Example prompts

  • "Review this React component and suggest improvements: [component code]"
  • "Generate a reusable React component for displaying user profiles."
  • "How can I optimize the performance of this React list?"
  • "Show me an example of using custom hooks in React."

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective when provided with specific code snippets or clear descriptions of desired functionality. While it offers suggestions, developers should always review and understand the recommendations before applying them to their projects.
