React

Overview

Covers component architecture, performance optimization, state management, data fetching, and modern React 19+ APIs. Prioritizes React Compiler compatibility, Server Components, and elimination of data fetching waterfalls.

When to use: Building React applications, optimizing performance, choosing state management, implementing data fetching, reviewing component architecture.

When NOT to use: Non-React frameworks, purely server-side rendering without React, static sites without interactivity.

Quick Reference

Pattern API / Approach Key Points
Data fetching use(dataPromise) Replaces useEffect+useState fetch pattern
Form handling useActionState(action, init) Built-in pending states and error handling
Optimistic UI useOptimistic(state, updateFn) Instant feedback while server processes
Non-urgent updates useTransition() Mark updates as interruptible
Effect events useEffectEvent(fn) Reactive values without re-triggering effects
Form pending status useFormStatus() Read parent form pending state from child component
Unique IDs useId() Hydration-safe IDs for accessibility
Server state React Query / useSuspenseQuery Caching, deduplication, background refetch
Client state (local) useState / useRef Single component or transient values
Client state (global) Zustand / Context Cross-component client-only state
Derived state Compute during render Never sync derived values with effects
Lazy initialization useState(() => expensive()) Avoid eager computation on every render
Component types Page, Feature, UI Route entry, business logic, reusable primitives
Memoization Trust React Compiler first Manual useMemo/useCallback only when needed
Ref as prop ref prop on function components No forwardRef needed in React 19
Ref cleanup Return function from ref callback Cleanup runs on detach instead of null call
Code splitting React.lazy() + Suspense Lazy-load heavy components
Parallel fetches Promise.all() Eliminate sequential await waterfalls
Request dedup React.cache() Per-request server-side deduplication
Abort server work cacheSignal() Cancel expensive async work when client disconnects
Resource preloading prefetchDNS, preconnect, preload, preinit Optimize resource loading from components
State preservation <Activity> Hide UI while keeping state mounted

Common Mistakes

Mistake Correct Pattern
Fetching data in useEffect with useState Use the use() API or React Query for data fetching with built-in caching
Storing derived values in state and syncing with effects Compute derived values during render; never use effects for state synchronization
Wrapping everything in useMemo and useCallback Trust React Compiler first; only add manual memoization for expensive computations or memoized children
Using array.sort() which mutates state Use array.toSorted() for immutable sorting to avoid unexpected re-renders
Using && for conditional rendering Use ternary condition ? <Component /> : null to avoid rendering falsy values like 0
Using Math.random() or Date for IDs Use useId() for hydration-safe unique identifiers
Putting reactive values in effect deps to read latest value Use useEffectEvent to access latest values without re-triggering effects
Creating object literals as effect dependencies Hoist static objects outside the component or use primitive dependencies
Using forwardRef in React 19 projects Pass ref directly as a prop; forwardRef is deprecated in React 19
Mutating props or state during render Follow Rules of React for React Compiler compatibility: pure renders, no side effects

Delegation

  • Explore component architecture and identify performance bottlenecks: Use Explore agent to profile re-renders, analyze bundle size, and trace data fetching waterfalls
  • Implement React feature with proper patterns: Use Task agent to build components following Server Component, Suspense, and React 19 conventions
  • Design frontend architecture and state management strategy: Use Plan agent to structure component hierarchy, select state management, and plan data fetching approach

If the shadcn-ui skill is available, delegate component variant and theming questions to it.
If the tailwind skill is available, delegate utility-first styling and design token questions to it.
If the zustand skill is available, delegate global client state management questions to it.

How to use this skill

1

Install react-patterns by running npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill react-patterns 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.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of react-patterns, 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.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
