vibe-coding-ai-rules react.instructions.md

A set of rules for building React interfaces, covering components, state, performance, errors, and accessibility. React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces from reusable components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide when to use server or client components, organize state, load heavy components, handle async states, isolate errors, and add semantic HTML and ARIA labels.
Why use it?
It helps keep interfaces structured and responsive while making loading failures, keyboard use, and screen-reader support part of the implementation.

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

vibe-coding-ai-rules react.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

React Patterns

Component Structure

  • Functional components only (no class components)
  • Server Components by default; Client Components ('use client') only when needed
  • Extract business logic into custom hooks or service layer
  • Max 200 lines per component file

State Management

  • Local state: useState/useReducer
  • Server state: React Query / SWR
  • Global state: Zustand (or specified alternative)
  • URL state: nuqs or searchParams

Performance

  • Use React.memo() only with measured performance issues
  • Implement proper key props for lists
  • Lazy load heavy components with React.lazy() + Suspense
  • Use optimistic updates for better UX

Error Handling

  • Implement Error Boundaries for fault isolation
  • Use proper loading/error/empty states for async data
  • Never swallow errors silently

Accessibility

  • All interactive elements need keyboard support
  • Use semantic HTML elements
  • Include proper ARIA labels where needed
Changes

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.
