nextjs-react-expert

A performance guide for React and Next.js, tools used to build web interfaces and web applications. It covers slow data loading, large browser downloads, server rendering, repeated component updates, and rendering cost.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing React components, investigating slow pages, reducing JavaScript sent to browsers, improving server-rendered pages, or tuning frequent updates.
Why use it?
It helps identify common reasons a page loads slowly or responds late, so improvements focus first on the changes likely to have the largest effect.

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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

React & Next.js Performance Playbook

The fastest wins almost always come from the same two places: stop fetching data one request at a time, and stop shipping JavaScript the user never runs. Work the list below in roughly that order — structural fixes first, micro-optimizations last.

How to use these notes

The detail lives in the numbered reference files, not here. Open only the file that matches the problem in front of you. Each file is self-contained and groups a set of concrete rules with before/after code.

Reference index

File Severity Reach for it when
1-async-eliminating-waterfalls.md Highest Pages stall on chained awaits; requests run in series
2-bundle-bundle-size-optimization.md Highest First-load JS is heavy; interactivity arrives late
3-server-server-side-performance.md High SSR is slow, server actions need hardening, RSC payloads bloat
4-client-client-side-data-fetching.md Medium-high Duplicate client requests, SWR, storage, listener sharing
5-rerender-re-render-optimization.md Medium Components render too often; memoization questions
6-rendering-rendering-performance.md Medium Long lists, hydration flashes, image and SVG cost
7-js-javascript-performance.md Lower Tight-loop and algorithmic clean-ups in hot code
8-advanced-advanced-patterns.md Situational One-time init, callback refs, effect-event hooks
9-cache-components.md Next.js 16+ use cache, cacheLife, cacheTag, PPR

Picking the right file fast

Symptom                          Start here
------------------------------   ----------------------------
Long time-to-interactive    →    Files 1 and 2
First-load bundle too big   →    File 2 (splitting, deep imports)
Server response is slow     →    File 3 (parallel RSC, streaming)
UI janks / renders too much →    File 5 (render hygiene)
Scrolling / paint is rough  →    File 6 (virtualization, layout)
Redundant client requests   →    File 4 (SWR, dedupe)
On Next.js 16 caching       →    File 9 (Cache Components)

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.
