React Email
Overview
React Email is a library for building responsive HTML emails using React components. It provides a set of unstyled, accessible components that render to email-client-compatible HTML. Supports inline styles, Tailwind CSS via a wrapper component, custom web fonts, and rendering to both HTML and plain text.
When to use: Transactional emails (welcome, password reset, receipts), marketing templates, email design systems, any project that renders emails server-side.
When NOT to use: Static HTML email templates with no dynamic content, projects that already use a dedicated email builder (MJML, Maizzle), or when you only need plain-text emails.
Quick Reference
| Pattern | API | Key Points |
|---|---|---|
| Document structure | Html, Head, Body |
Html wraps everything, Head loads fonts/meta |
| Content container | Container |
Centers content, sets max-width |
| Layout grid | Section, Row, Column |
Table-based layout for email clients |
| Text content | Text, Heading |
Heading accepts as prop for h1-h6 |
| Links | Link |
Standard anchor, href required |
| Call-to-action | Button |
Renders as link styled as button, href required |
| Images | Img |
Always set width, height, alt |
| Divider | Hr |
Horizontal rule between sections |
| Inbox preview | Preview |
Sets preview text shown in inbox list |
| Custom fonts | Font |
Place inside Head, set webFont and fallbackFontFamily |
| Tailwind styling | Tailwind |
Wraps email, inlines Tailwind classes at render |
| Render to HTML | render(<Email />) |
Async, returns HTML string |
| Render plain text | render(<Email />, { plainText: true }) |
Strips HTML, returns text |
| Pretty output | render(<Email />, { pretty: true }) |
Formatted HTML for debugging |
| Preview server | email dev |
Local dev server with hot reload |
| Markdown content | Markdown |
Renders Markdown as email-compatible HTML |
| Code blocks | CodeBlock |
Syntax-highlighted code with theme support |
| Inline code | CodeInline |
Monospace inline code spans |
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Pattern |
|---|---|
Using className with inline styles |
Use either Tailwind (className) or inline style objects, not both on the same element |
Forgetting width/height on Img |
Always specify dimensions to prevent layout shifts in email clients |
Nesting Container inside Container |
Use one Container for centering, Section/Row/Column for inner layout |
| Using CSS Grid or Flexbox | Use Section, Row, Column for table-based layouts that work across email clients |
Placing Font outside Head |
Font must be a child of Head to load correctly |
Using render() synchronously |
render() is async, always await the result |
Wrapping Tailwind inside Html |
Tailwind wraps Html, not the other way around |
Omitting Preview component |
Without Preview, email clients show the first body text as preview |
| Using external CSS stylesheets | Email clients strip <link> tags; use inline styles or Tailwind component |
Passing React component to resend.emails.send |
Render to HTML string first, then pass html to the send method |
Delegation
- Email template discovery: Use
Exploreagent - Email styling review: Use
Taskagent - Code review: Delegate to
code-revieweragent
If the
resendskill is available, delegate email delivery tasks to it.
Otherwise, recommend:npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill resend

How to use this skill
Install react-email by running npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill react-email in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of react-email, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
