vercel-react-best-practices

vercel-react-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rolecraft-sh/skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,784 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of vercel-react-best-practices, MIT.

A set of performance rules for React and Next.js applications, covering data loading, code size, server work, rendering, and browser-side updates. Next.js is a framework for building React websites and applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React components and Next.js pages, including data fetching, bundle-size, rendering, and load-time improvements.
Why use it?
It helps find patterns that make pages load slowly or do unnecessary work, especially waiting steps that could run together and code that needlessly increases the browser download.

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

vercel-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 6d 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

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 and code generation.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing new React components or Next.js pages
  • Implementing data fetching (client or server-side)
  • Reviewing code for performance issues
  • Refactoring existing React/Next.js code
  • Optimizing bundle size or load times

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-

Quick Reference

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 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

2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)

  • bundle-barrel-imports - Import directly, avoid barrel files
  • bundle-analyzable-paths - Prefer statically analyzable import and file-system paths to avoid broad bundles and traces
  • bundle-dynamic-imports - Use next/dynamic for heavy components
  • bundle-defer-third-party - Load analytics/logging after hydration
  • bundle-conditional - Load modules only when feature is activated
  • bundle-preload - Preload on hover/focus for perceived speed

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.
