Test it

Using "react-best-practices". A product page shows notifications from an effect when cart state changes.

Expected outcome:

Move the notification into the purchase event handler so it only runs for the user's action.

Using "react-best-practices". A chat component reconnects every time a theme prop changes.

Expected outcome:

Keep the connection effect tied to the room and read the latest theme through non-reactive effect logic.

Using "react-best-practices". A reusable panel has many boolean props that switch large UI branches.

Expected outcome:

Split the branches into composed components and keep shared state behind a scoped provider when needed.

All 22 static findings were judged false positives after context review. The flagged backticks are Markdown inline code or JavaScript template literals in documentation examples, and the reconnaissance hits are React timer or lifecycle wording. No prompt injection, data exfiltration, external command execution, or malicious intent was found.

What You Can Build

Refactor Effect-heavy Components

Review components that overuse useEffect and move derived logic into render or event handlers.

Teach Hook Decisions

Create review guidance that explains when to use useMemo, refs, useEffectEvent, or direct calculation.

Review Reusable UI APIs

Assess component props, composition, controlled state, and provider boundaries before expanding shared UI.

Try These Prompts

Review a Component 
Review this React component for effect, state, ref, and composition issues. Explain each change in plain language.
Rewrite an Effect 
Rewrite this component to remove unnecessary useEffect usage. Keep behavior the same and explain what now runs during render or events.
Design a Hook 
Design a focused custom hook for this React behavior. Make dependencies explicit and avoid lifecycle-style wrappers.
Audit a Component API 
Audit this reusable component API for prop complexity, composition options, controlled state, and provider boundaries. Recommend a maintainable design.

Best Practices

  • Ask whether logic can run during render before adding an effect.
  • Keep effect dependency lists honest and fix code instead of suppressing the linter.
  • Use composition and controlled state when a component must support varied behavior.

Avoid

  • Using effects to mirror derived state that can be calculated directly.
  • Creating lifecycle-style hooks that hide dependencies from React lint rules.
  • Adding many boolean props to one component instead of composing separate variants.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this skill?
Use it when reviewing or writing React components, especially files that use hooks, refs, or reusable UI patterns.
Does it support TypeScript React?
Yes. It pairs well with TypeScript guidance and applies to TSX and JSX component work.
Can it fix React code automatically?
It provides guidance and examples. The AI assistant still needs file context and permission to edit code.
Does it cover React Server Components?
No. The included guidance focuses on client component patterns, effects, refs, hooks, and composition.
Why does it discourage many effects?
Many effects duplicate render logic or event logic. Avoiding them reduces bugs, extra renders, and stale dependency issues.
Is it safe to install?
The reviewed files are documentation only. The audit found no real command execution or reconnaissance behavior.
