react-best-practices

react-best-practices is a cursor rule for Cursor from kok-o/koko-contextos-agents. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,711 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of performance guidelines for React and Next.js, tools for building web interfaces and applications with JavaScript. It covers data loading, rendering, network requests, memory use, and the size of code sent to users.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing or reviewing React components and Next.js pages, improving data fetching, reducing bundle size, and addressing Core Web Vitals such as loading speed and layout stability.
Why use it?
It helps identify slow page loads, unnecessary screen updates, network delays, memory leaks, and oversized browser downloads.

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

react-best-practices 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 4d 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.

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.

Vercel React Best Practices

Overview

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React and Next.js applications, maintained by Vercel. Contains 70 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring, code generation, and production review.

When to Use

  • When authoring new React functional components or Next.js App Router pages.
  • When implementing data fetching (client or server-side Server Actions, RSC).
  • When reviewing pull requests for rendering bottlenecks or memory leaks.
  • When optimizing bundle size, eliminating network waterfalls, or improving Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS).

Rules & Patterns

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Eliminating Waterfalls CRITICAL async-
2 Bundle Size Optimization CRITICAL bundle-
3 Server-Side Performance HIGH server-
4 Client-Side Data Fetching MEDIUM-HIGH client-
5 Re-render Optimization MEDIUM rerender-
6 Rendering Performance MEDIUM rendering-
7 JavaScript Performance LOW-MEDIUM js-
8 Advanced Patterns LOW advanced-

1. Eliminating Waterfalls (CRITICAL)

  • async-cheap-condition-before-await - Check cheap sync conditions before awaiting flags or remote values.
  • async-defer-await - Move await into branches where actually used.
  • async-parallel - Use Promise.all() for independent asynchronous operations.
  • async-dependencies - Use better-all for partial dependencies.
  • async-api-routes - Start promises early, await late in API routes.
  • async-suspense-boundaries - Use Suspense to stream content progressively.

2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)

  • bundle-barrel-imports - Import directly from specific modules, avoid broad barrel files (index.ts).
  • bundle-analyzable-paths - Prefer statically analyzable import paths to avoid bloated traces.
  • bundle-dynamic-imports - Use next/dynamic or React.lazy() for heavy interactive components.
  • bundle-defer-third-party - Load analytics and logging scripts after hydration.
  • bundle-conditional - Load modules only when feature flags or user actions require them.
  • bundle-preload - Preload assets on hover or focus for perceived instant navigation.

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.

react-best-practices is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository kok-o/koko-contextos-agents (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,711 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
