nextjs-react-expert

A guide to improving the speed and efficiency of React and Next.js web applications. React is a JavaScript interface library, while Next.js is a framework built around React.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or building React and Next.js features, especially data fetching, server rendering, bundle size, browser-side data, repeated renders, and rendering performance.
Why use it?
It helps identify common causes of slow pages, such as waiting on data requests, sending too much browser code, slow server rendering, or unnecessary screen updates.

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

nextjs-react-expert 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/convert_rules.py, scripts/react_performance_checker.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Next.js & React Performance Expert

From Vercel Engineering - 57 optimization rules prioritized by impact Philosophy: Eliminate waterfalls first, optimize bundles second, then micro-optimize.


🎯 Selective Reading Rule (MANDATORY)

Read ONLY sections relevant to your task! Check the content map below and load what you need.

🔴 For performance reviews: Start with CRITICAL sections (1-2), then move to HIGH/MEDIUM.


📑 Content Map

File Impact Rules When to Read
1-async-eliminating-waterfalls.md 🔴 CRITICAL 5 rules Slow page loads, sequential API calls, data fetching waterfalls
2-bundle-bundle-size-optimization.md 🔴 CRITICAL 5 rules Large bundle size, slow Time to Interactive, First Load issues
3-server-server-side-performance.md 🟠 HIGH 7 rules Slow SSR, API route optimization, server-side waterfalls
4-client-client-side-data-fetching.md 🟡 MEDIUM-HIGH 4 rules Client data management, SWR patterns, deduplication
5-rerender-re-render-optimization.md 🟡 MEDIUM 12 rules Excessive re-renders, React performance, memoization
6-rendering-rendering-performance.md 🟡 MEDIUM 9 rules Rendering bottlenecks, virtualization, image optimization
7-js-javascript-performance.md LOW-MEDIUM 12 rules Micro-optimizations, caching, loop performance
8-advanced-advanced-patterns.md 🔵 VARIABLE 3 rules Advanced React patterns, useLatest, init-once

Total: 57 rules across 8 categories

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.
