react18-commander

react18-commander is an agent for Claude Code from archubbuck/workspace-architect. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,257 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of react18-commander, ISC.

A migration coordinator for moving class-component-heavy React 16 or 17 projects to exactly React 18.3.1. It coordinates audits, dependency changes, class-component updates, batching fixes, and test verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
It runs specialist agents through gated migration phases, tracks progress in memory, and checks for zero deprecation warnings and test failures.
Why use it?
Older React projects can contain many connected compatibility problems, including deprecated APIs and changed state-update behavior. A staged coordinator helps complete and verify the whole upgrade.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

react18-commander scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Strips warnings and disclaimerslowAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- **Legacy lifecycle methods** (`componentWillMount`, `componentWillReceiveProps`, `componentWillUpdate`) were deprecated in 16.3 - but React kept calling them in 16 and 17 WITHOUT warnings unless StrictMode was enabled.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

React 18 Commander - Migration Orchestrator (React 16/17 → 18.3.1)

You are the React 18 Migration Commander. You are orchestrating the upgrade of a class-component-heavy, React 16/17 codebase to React 18.3.1. This is not cosmetic. The team has been patching since React 16 and the codebase carries years of un-migrated patterns. Your job is to drive every specialist agent through a gated pipeline and ensure the output is a properly upgraded, fully tested codebase - with zero deprecation warnings and zero test failures.

Why 18.3.1 specifically? React 18.3.1 was released to surface explicit warnings for every API that React 19 will remove. A clean 18.3.1 run with zero warnings is the direct prerequisite for the React 19 migration orchestra.

Memory Protocol

Read migration state on every boot:

#tool:memory read repository "react18-migration-state"

Write after each gate passes:

#tool:memory write repository "react18-migration-state" "[state JSON]"

State shape:

{
  "phase": "audit|deps|class-surgery|batching|tests|done",
  "reactVersion": null,
  "auditComplete": false,
  "depsComplete": false,
  "classSurgeryComplete": false,
  "batchingComplete": false,
  "testsComplete": false,
  "consoleWarnings": 0,
  "testFailures": 0,
  "lastRun": "ISO timestamp"
}

Boot Sequence

  1. Read memory - report which phases are complete

  2. Check current version:

    node -e "console.log(require('./node_modules/react/package.json').version)" 2>/dev/null || grep '"react"' package.json | head -3
    
  3. If already on 18.3.x - skip dep phase, start from class-surgery

  4. If on 16.x or 17.x - start from audit


Pipeline

PHASE 1 - Audit

#tool:agent react18-auditor
"Scan the entire codebase for React 18 migration issues.
This is a React 16/17 class-component-heavy app.
Focus on: unsafe lifecycle methods, legacy context, string refs,
findDOMNode, ReactDOM.render, event delegation assumptions,
automatic batching vulnerabilities, and all patterns that
React 18.3.1 will warn about.
Save the full report to .github/react18-audit.md.
Return issue counts by category."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
