react-best-practices

react-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 50 tokens per session (884 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance guide for React and Next.js, tools for building web interfaces with JavaScript and server-side features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing React components, improving Next.js performance, reducing bundle size, and fixing data-fetching waterfalls.
Why use it?
It helps find slow data loading, oversized browser code, unnecessary rerenders, and costly page rendering.

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 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.

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.

React Best Practices

Practical React and Next.js guidance for performance-sensitive product work.

This skill is a self-contained distillation of the Vercel React performance guidance so it can be installed and used directly inside Spellbook.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • build or refactor React components
  • improve Next.js performance
  • reduce bundle size
  • remove data-fetch waterfalls
  • fix expensive rerenders
  • review frontend code for performance issues

Priority Order

Always check higher-priority categories first.

Priority Category Focus
1 Waterfalls start async work early, await late, parallelize independent fetches
2 Bundle size avoid barrel imports, defer heavy code, split by feature
3 Server-side performance dedupe work, minimize serialization, prefer server execution
4 Client data fetching dedupe requests, avoid redundant listeners and client churn
5 Rerenders reduce subscriptions, stabilize dependencies, move expensive work
6 Rendering avoid hydration flicker, reduce DOM/SVG cost, optimize long lists
7 JavaScript hot paths cache repeated lookups, combine iterations, exit early
8 Advanced patterns stable refs and callback patterns for edge cases

Hard Rules

1. Eliminate Waterfalls First

  • Start independent requests in parallel.
  • Do not serialize async work unless there is a real dependency.
  • In API routes and server components, create promises early and await them as late as possible.
  • Use Suspense boundaries when streaming content helps unblock rendering.

2. Protect Bundle Size

  • Prefer direct imports over barrel files on hot paths.
  • Use dynamic imports for heavy or infrequently used components.
  • Defer analytics, logging, and other non-critical third-party code until after hydration.
  • Load optional modules only when the related feature is activated.

3. Prefer Server Work Over Client Work

  • Keep data fetching and heavy transformation on the server when possible.
  • Minimize data serialized into client components.
  • Cache server-side repeated work when the request model allows it.
