+    "markdown": "## TypeScript/JavaScript + React conventions (beyond what the linter enforces)\n\n`eslint` and `prettier` already enforce formatting, `no-explicit-any`, and stray `console.log` — this pack is the judgment they can't encode. Keep the mechanical checks in CI (`prettier --check .`, `eslint .`); the reviewers below cover the rest.\n\n## Types and interfaces\n\n### Public APIs\n\n- Add parameter and return types to exported functions, shared utilities, and public class methods.\n- Let TypeScript infer obvious local variable types.\n- Extract repeated inline object shapes into named types or interfaces.\n\n```typescript\n// WRONG: exported function without explicit types\nexport function formatUser(user) {\n  return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`\n}\n\n// CORRECT: explicit types on public APIs\ninterface User {\n  firstName: string\n  lastName: string\n}\n\nexport function formatUser(user: User): string {\n  return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`\n}\n```\n\n### Interfaces vs. type aliases\n\n- Use `interface` for object shapes that may be extended or implemented.\n- Use `type` for unions, intersections, tuples, mapped types, and utility types.\n- Prefer string-literal unions over `enum` unless an `enum` is required for interop.\n\n```typescript\ninterface User {\n  id: string\n  email: string\n}\n\ntype UserRole = 'admin' | 'member'\ntype UserWithRole = User & { role: UserRole }\n```\n\n### Avoid `any`\n\n- Avoid `any` in application code.\n- Use `unknown` for external or untrusted input, then narrow it safely.\n- Use generics when a value's type depends on the caller.\n\n```typescript\n// WRONG: any removes type safety\nfunction getErrorMessage(error: any) {\n  return error.message\n}\n\n// CORRECT: unknown forces safe narrowing\nfunction getErrorMessage(error: unknown): string {\n  if (error instanceof Error) {\n    return error.message\n  }\n  return 'Unexpected error'\n}\n```\n\n### React props\n\n- Define component props with a named `interface` or `type`; type callback props explicitly.\n- Prefer `type Props = {}` for closed component prop shapes; use `interface` only when the prop type is extended via declaration merging or exported as a public API extension point.\n- Do not use `React.FC` unless there is a specific reason to.\n- Always destructure props in the parameter list — no `props.user` access inside the body.\n\n```tsx\ntype Props = {\n  user: User;\n  onSelect: (id: string) => void;\n};\n\nexport function UserCard({ user, onSelect }: Props) {\n  return (\n    <button type=\"button\" onClick={() => onSelect(user.id)}>\n      {user.name}\n    </button>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### JavaScript files\n\n- In `.js`/`.jsx` files, use JSDoc when types improve clarity and a TypeScript migration isn't practical; keep JSDoc aligned with runtime behavior.\n\n## Immutability\n\nReturn new objects/arrays via spread or `map`/`filter` — never mutate an argument you were handed. Shared references make in-place mutation a spooky-action-at-a-distance bug: some other holder of the same object sees a change it never asked for.\n\n```typescript\ninterface User {\n  id: string\n  name: string\n}\n\n// WRONG — mutates the caller's object\nfunction updateUser(user: User, name: string): User {\n  user.name = name\n  return user\n}\n\n// CORRECT — returns a new object, original untouched\nfunction updateUser(user: Readonly<User>, name: string): User {\n  return { ...user, name }\n}\n```\n\n- **Object field:** `{ ...obj, field: value }`.\n- **Nested field:** spread each level you touch — `{ ...obj, addr: { ...obj.addr, city } }`.\n- **Array append/remove:** `[...list, item]`, `list.filter(x => x.id !== id)`, `list.map(x => x.id === id ? { ...x, done: true } : x)` — not `push`/`splice`/index assignment.\n- **Record update:** `{ ...map, [key]: value }` and `const { [key]: _drop, ...rest } = map` to remove a key.\n\nA locally-scoped object that never escapes the function — a builder/accumulator you allocated and return once — is fine to mutate. The rule protects values that are *shared*.\n\n## Error handling\n\nUse `async`/`await` with `try`/`catch` and narrow `unknown` errors before reading them.\n\n```typescript\nfunction getErrorMessage(error: unknown): string {\n  if (error instanceof Error) return error.message\n  return 'Unexpected error'\n}\n\nasync function loadUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {\n  try {\n    return await riskyOperation(userId)\n  } catch (error: unknown) {\n    logger.error('Operation failed', error)\n    throw new Error(getErrorMessage(error))\n  }\n}\n```\n\n- Handle errors explicitly with context, then re-raise or return a typed error.\n- Empty `catch` blocks that swallow the error are a defect, not a shortcut.\n- `JSON.parse` throws on invalid input — always wrap it.\n- Always `throw new Error(\"message\")`, never `throw \"message\"`.\n- Wrap React trees that fetch or do async work in an `<ErrorBoundary>`.\n\n## Input validation\n\nValidate external input at the boundary with a schema (Zod) and infer the type from the schema rather than hand-writing both.\n\n```typescript\nimport { z } from 'zod'\n\nconst userSchema = z.object({\n  email: z.string().email(),\n  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150)\n})\n\ntype UserInput = z.infer<typeof userSchema>\nconst validated: UserInput = userSchema.parse(input)\n```\n\nRead required secrets from the environment and fail fast at startup if one is missing.\n\n## Console/logging\n\nNo `console.log` statements in production code — use a structured logger.\n\n## Common patterns\n\n### API response format\n\n```typescript\ninterface ApiResponse<T> {\n  success: boolean\n  data?: T\n  error?: string\n  meta?: { total: number; page: number; limit: number }\n}\n```\n\n### Repository pattern\n\n```typescript\ninterface Repository<T> {\n  findAll(filters?: Filters): Promise<T[]>\n  findById(id: string): Promise<T | null>\n  create(data: CreateDto): Promise<T>\n  update(id: string, data: UpdateDto): Promise<T>\n  delete(id: string): Promise<void>\n}\n```\n\n### Custom hooks\n\n```typescript\nexport function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {\n  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState<T>(value)\n\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const handler = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(value), delay)\n    return () => clearTimeout(handler)\n  }, [value, delay])\n\n  return debouncedValue\n}\n```\n\n## Secret management\n\n```typescript\n// NEVER: hardcoded secrets\nconst apiKey = \"sk-proj-xxxxx\"\n\n// ALWAYS: environment variables, fail fast if missing\nconst apiKey = process.env.API_KEY\nif (!apiKey) {\n  throw new Error('API_KEY not configured')\n}\n```\n\n## Testing (TypeScript baseline)\n\nUse **Playwright** for E2E tests covering critical user flows. React-specific component/hook testing patterns are covered in the [react-testing skill](#) below.\n\n---\n\n# React coding style\n\n## File extensions\n\n- `.tsx` for any file containing JSX, even a one-liner.\n- `.ts` for pure logic, custom hooks without JSX, type definitions, utilities.\n- `.test.tsx` / `.test.ts` mirroring the source file.\n- Use `.jsx` only when the project intentionally avoids TypeScript — flag every new untyped React file in review.\n\n## Naming\n\n- Components: `PascalCase` for both the symbol and the file (`UserCard.tsx`, default export `UserCard`).\n- Custom hooks: `useCamelCase` for the symbol, kebab-case for the file when that's the project convention (`use-debounce.ts` exports `useDebounce`).\n- Context: `<Domain>Context` symbol, `<Domain>Provider` provider component, `use<Domain>` consumer hook.\n- Event handlers: `handleClick`, `handleSubmit` inside the component; the prop that receives it is `onClick`, `onSubmit`.\n- Boolean props: `isLoading`, `hasError`, `canSubmit` — never `loading` or `error` alone for booleans.\n\n## JSX\n\n- Self-close tags with no children: `<img />`, `<UserCard user={u} />`.\n- Use fragments `<>...</>` over a wrapper `<div>` when no DOM element is needed.\n- Conditional rendering: `{condition && <Foo />}` for booleans, ternary for either/or, early return for guard clauses. **Use a ternary, not `&&`, when the left side can be `0`** — `{count && <Badge>{count}</Badge>}` renders the literal text `0`; use `{count > 0 ? <Badge>{count}</Badge> : null}`.\n- Never put logic inline in JSX when it reads as multi-line — extract to a const above the return or a function.\n\n```tsx\n// Prefer\nconst greeting = user.isAdmin ? \"Welcome, admin\" : `Hello ${user.name}`;\nreturn <h1>{greeting}</h1>;\n\n// Over\nreturn <h1>{user.isAdmin ? \"Welcome, admin\" : `Hello ${user.name}`}</h1>;\n```\n\n## Imports\n\n- React imports first, then third-party libs, then absolute project imports, then relative.\n- Type-only imports: `import type { ReactNode } from \"react\"` — never mix runtime and type imports in one statement when `consistent-type-imports` is configured.\n\n## Hooks discipline\n\n- Custom hooks must start with `use` — enforced by `eslint-plugin-react-hooks`.\n- Hooks are top-level only, never conditional (not inside `if`/`for`/`&&`/ternary, not after an early return).\n- Group all hook calls at the top of the component, before any conditional logic.\n- Cleanup every subscription, interval, and listener.\n- Use the functional updater (`setX(prev => prev + 1)`) when new state depends on old state.\n- Default position: do not memoize — add `useMemo`/`useCallback` only when a profiler or a dependency chain proves it matters.\n- Avoid creating ad-hoc hooks for one-line wrappers — inline the call instead; extract a custom hook only when the same hook sequence appears in 2+ components.\n\n## State\n\n- Local first (`useState`), lift only when shared.\n- Context for cross-cutting, low-frequency reads (theme, auth, i18n) — not for high-frequency updates. Split context by concern: one context per concern so a change to `ThemeContext` doesn't re-render `AuthContext` consumers.\n- External store (Zustand, Jotai, Redux Toolkit) when state must persist across route changes, sync across tabs, or be debugged via devtools.\n- Server-derived data belongs in a server-state library (TanStack Query, SWR, RSC fetch), not application state.\n- Never duplicate state that can be derived — compute during render, never via `useEffect`.\n\n```tsx\n// Bad: derived state stored separately, desyncs, extra render cycle\nconst [total, setTotal] = useState(0);\nuseEffect(() => {\n  setTotal(items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.qty, 0));\n}, [items]);\n\n// Good: derive during render\nconst total = items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.qty, 0);\n```\n\n### State location decision tree\n\n1. Used by one component → `useState` inside it.\n2. Used by parent + a few children → lift to nearest common ancestor, pass via props.\n3. Used across distant branches, low-frequency reads → React Context.\n4. High-frequency updates shared across the tree → external store (Zustand, Jotai, Redux Toolkit).\n5. Server-derived data → server-state library (TanStack Query, SWR, RSC fetch) — not application state.\n\nContext misused for frequently changing values causes every consumer to re-render on every update. Most pages need neither context nor a global store — resist abstraction until duplicated lifting becomes painful.\n\n## Class components\n\nForbidden in new code. Convert legacy class components to function components when touching them for non-trivial changes. Error boundaries remain a class API (no functional equivalent as of React 19) unless using a wrapper library such as `react-error-boundary`.\n\n## File layout per component\n\n```\ncomponents/UserCard/\n  UserCard.tsx\n  UserCard.module.css   # or styled-components, or Tailwind classes inline\n  UserCard.test.tsx\n  index.ts              # re-export only\n```\n\nInline single-file components are fine for trivial presentational pieces.\n\n## Container / presentational split\n\nContainer components own data fetching, state, and side effects. Presentational components receive props and render — no service calls, no hooks beyond local UI state.\n\n```tsx\n// Container — owns data\nexport function UserPage({ userId }: { userId: string }) {\n  const { data: user, isLoading } = useUser(userId);\n  if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;\n  if (!user) return <NotFound />;\n  return <UserCard user={user} onSelect={handleSelect} />;\n}\n\n// Presentational — pure\nexport function UserCard({ user, onSelect }: { user: User; onSelect: (id: string) => void }) {\n  return <button onClick={() => onSelect(user.id)}>{user.name}</button>;\n}\n```\n\n## Server / Client Component boundary (RSC, Next.js App Router)\n\n- Server Components are the default — they run on the server, don't ship to the client, and can `await` directly. Only add `\"use client\"` when the file uses state, effects, refs, browser APIs, or event handlers; place the directive on line 1, before any imports.\n- Data flows down: a Server Component can render a Client Component and pass serializable props. A Client Component cannot import a Server Component, but it can receive one via `children` or named slots.\n- Never import a Client Component file from inside a `\"use server\"` action file. Never re-export server-only code through a client module — the bundler will silently include it. Mark sensitive modules with `import \"server-only\"` so the bundler errors if a client file imports them.\n\n```tsx\n// Server (default)\nexport default async function Page() {\n  const user = await fetchUser();\n  return <UserClient user={user} />;\n}\n\n// Client\n\"use client\";\nexport function UserClient({ user }: { user: User }) {\n  const [tab, setTab] = useState(\"profile\");\n  return <Tabs value={tab} onChange={setTab}>{user.name}</Tabs>;\n}\n```\n\n## Suspense + error boundaries\n\nEvery Suspense boundary needs an Error Boundary above it — the pair handles both states. Place boundaries close to where data is needed, not at the route root; multiple narrower boundaries reveal loaded content progressively. A boundary catches errors thrown during render, lifecycle, and constructors of its children — NOT in event handlers or async code.\n\n```tsx\n<ErrorBoundary fallback={<ErrorView />}>\n  <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>\n    <UserDetails id={id} />\n  </Suspense>\n</ErrorBoundary>\n```\n\n## Forms\n\n**Uncontrolled (React 19 + form actions)** — prefer when the form has a clear submit step; the browser owns the value, React reads it via `FormData` on submit.\n\n```tsx\nasync function action(formData: FormData) {\n  \"use server\";\n  await saveUser({ name: String(formData.get(\"name\")) });\n}\n\nexport function UserForm() {\n  return (\n    <form action={action}>\n      <input name=\"name\" required />\n      <button type=\"submit\">Save</button>\n    </form>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**Controlled** — use when the value drives other UI, requires real-time validation, or formatting.\n\n**Complex forms** (multi-step, dynamic field arrays, cross-field validation) — use a library: React Hook Form (minimal re-renders, uncontrolled-first), TanStack Form (typed, framework-agnostic), or Final Form. Roll-your-own state management for forms past trivial complexity is a maintenance trap.\n\n## Data fetching\n\n| Strategy | When |\n|---|---|\n| RSC fetch (`await` in Server Component) | Per-request data in Next.js App Router, no client-side cache needed |\n| TanStack Query | Client-side cache, mutations, optimistic updates, polling |\n| SWR | Lightweight cache + revalidation, simpler than TanStack Query |\n| `fetch` in `useEffect` | Avoid — race conditions, no cache, no retry. Only acceptable for one-off fire-and-forget |\n\nNever fetch in a `useEffect` when a real cache library is available — they handle deduping, cache invalidation, error retry, and Suspense integration.\n\n## Lists and keys\n\n`key` must be stable across renders — never `index` for any list that can reorder, insert, or delete. `key` must be unique among siblings, not globally. A reordered list with index keys causes state in child components to attach to the wrong row.\n\n## Composition over inheritance\n\nPass `children` for slot-style composition, render-prop functions for parameterized rendering, component types for plug-in points (`renderItem={UserRow}`). Never extend a component class to specialize behavior.\n\n## Compound components\n\nFor related controls (Tabs, Accordion, Menu), share state via Context:\n\n```tsx\n<Tabs defaultValue=\"profile\">\n  <Tabs.List>\n    <Tabs.Trigger value=\"profile\">Profile</Tabs.Trigger>\n    <Tabs.Trigger value=\"settings\">Settings</Tabs.Trigger>\n  </Tabs.List>\n  <Tabs.Panel value=\"profile\"><ProfileForm /></Tabs.Panel>\n  <Tabs.Panel value=\"settings\"><SettingsForm /></Tabs.Panel>\n</Tabs>\n```\n\n## Portals\n\nUse `createPortal` for modals, tooltips, toast containers — anything that must escape the parent's `overflow: hidden` or `z-index` stacking context. Render to a stable DOM node mounted in `index.html`.\n\n## Refs (React 19+)\n\nReact 19 lets function components accept `ref` as a regular prop — `forwardRef` is no longer required for new code. Older codebases on React 18 still need `forwardRef`.\n\n```tsx\nexport function Input({ ref, ...rest }: { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLInputElement> } & InputProps) {\n  return <input ref={ref} {...rest} />;\n}\n```\n\n## Accessibility-first composition\n\n- Always render semantic HTML (`<button>`, `<a>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`) before reaching for `role` attributes.\n- Every interactive element must be reachable by keyboard.\n- Form inputs need labels — `<label htmlFor>` or `aria-label` if visually labeled by an icon.\n- Manage focus on route changes and modal open/close.\n\n## Out of scope (pointer, not a hard boundary)\n\nNext.js App Router specifics (Server Actions, Route Handlers, Middleware, Parallel/Intercepted Routes, streaming Metadata) and React Native (platform-specific imports, `StyleSheet`, navigation libraries) are separate framework concerns — follow their official docs. React core hooks/patterns in this document still apply there.\n\n---\n\n# React security\n\n## XSS via `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`\n\nCRITICAL. The prop name is deliberately scary — treat every usage as a code review halt.\n\n```tsx\n// CRITICAL: unsanitized user input\n<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: userBio }} />\n\n// CORRECT options:\n// 1. Render as text\n<div>{userBio}</div>\n\n// 2. Render parsed markdown via a library that sanitizes\n<ReactMarkdown>{userBio}</ReactMarkdown>\n\n// 3. If raw HTML is required, sanitize first with DOMPurify\nimport DOMPurify from \"isomorphic-dompurify\";\n<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: DOMPurify.sanitize(userBio) }} />\n```\n\nAudit checklist for every `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` call: is the input always under our control (document the source)? If user-derived, is it sanitized at the *same call site* (sanitization only at the API boundary is acceptable if every consumer is verified)? Is the sanitizer config allowlisting tags, not denylisting?\n\n## Unsafe URL schemes\n\n`javascript:` and `data:` URLs in `href`, `src`, and `xlink:href` execute arbitrary code. React warns about `javascript:` URLs in `href` in development mode but does not block them at runtime; `data:` URLs and other schemes also slip through — always validate.\n\n```tsx\n// CRITICAL: javascript: URL injection\n<a href={user.website}>Visit</a>   // if user.website = \"javascript:alert(1)\"\n\n// CORRECT: validate scheme\nfunction safeUrl(url: string): string | undefined {\n  try {\n    const parsed = new URL(url);\n    if ([\"http:\", \"https:\", \"mailto:\"].includes(parsed.protocol)) return url;\n  } catch {\n    return undefined;\n  }\n  return undefined;\n}\n<a href={safeUrl(user.website)}>Visit</a>\n```\n\n## `target=\"_blank\"` without `rel`\n\n`<a target=\"_blank\">` without `rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"` lets the target page access `window.opener` and run navigation hijacks. Modern browsers default to `noopener`, but don't rely on the default — be explicit.\n\n```tsx\n// WRONG\n<a href={externalUrl} target=\"_blank\">External</a>\n\n// CORRECT\n<a href={externalUrl} target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">External</a>\n```\n\n## Server Action input validation\n\nServer Actions (`\"use server\"`) run with the same trust level as a public API endpoint — validate every input, authenticate inside the action (don't trust the client-side route gate), and authorize per-record.\n\n```tsx\n\"use server\";\nimport { z } from \"zod\";\n\nconst Input = z.object({\n  email: z.string().email(),\n  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(120),\n});\n\nexport async function updateUser(_state: unknown, formData: FormData) {\n  const parsed = Input.safeParse({\n    email: formData.get(\"email\"),\n    age: Number(formData.get(\"age\")),\n  });\n  if (!parsed.success) return { error: parsed.error.flatten() };\n  // ...\n}\n```\n\n## Secret exposure via env vars\n\nPrefixed env vars are bundled into the client — treat them as public.\n\n| Framework | Public prefix | Private |\n|---|---|---|\n| Next.js | `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` | All others |\n| Vite | `VITE_*` | `.env` server-side only |\n| Create React App | `REACT_APP_*`, plus `NODE_ENV`, `PUBLIC_URL` | All others |\n| Remix | `process.env` access in `loader`/`action` only | Same |\n\n```ts\n// CRITICAL: secret leaked to client bundle\nconst apiKey = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY;\n```\n\nAudit on every PR that touches env vars: would this string in the public bundle be a problem?\n\n## Authentication / authorization\n\n- Never store sessions in `localStorage` — accessible to any XSS. Use httpOnly secure cookies.\n- Never trust client-set state to gate sensitive UI. Render-gating in JSX prevents display, not access — the API must enforce it.\n- CSRF: cookie-based auth requires CSRF tokens or `SameSite=Strict`/`Lax` cookies; use double-submit cookies or origin verification for form actions when not using framework defaults.\n\n## Content Security Policy\n\nConfigure server-side. Minimum acceptable CSP for a React app:\n\n```\ndefault-src 'self';\nscript-src 'self' 'nonce-{REQUEST_NONCE}';\nstyle-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';\nimg-src 'self' data: https:;\nconnect-src 'self' https://api.example.com;\nframe-ancestors 'none';\n```\n\nAvoid `unsafe-inline`/`unsafe-eval` in `script-src`. For SSR with inline scripts (Next.js streaming, hydration data), use per-request nonces. `style-src 'unsafe-inline'` is often unavoidable for CSS-in-JS — document the tradeoff.\n\n## Prototype pollution via object spread\n\n```tsx\n// WRONG: untrusted JSON spread directly into state\nconst update = await req.json();\nsetState({ ...state, ...update });    // attacker controls __proto__\n\n// CORRECT: parse with a schema, or guard keys\nconst Allowed = z.object({ name: z.string(), email: z.string().email() });\nconst parsed = Allowed.parse(await req.json());\nsetState({ ...state, ...parsed });\n```\n\n## SSR template injection\n\nValues rendered inside JSX are escaped by React — safe. Values passed to `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` are NOT escaped — same rules as client. Manually constructed HTML wrappers around React output must be escaped or sanitized — never concatenate user input into the surrounding HTML template.\n\n## Third-party components\n\nAudit `npm audit` before adding any UI library. Check the library doesn't internally use `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` on its input (e.g., rich text editors). Pin versions, review changelogs before major upgrades. Be wary of components that accept raw HTML strings as props.\n\n## Source map exposure in production\n\nProduction builds should ship without source maps, or with sourcemaps uploaded to an error tracker (Sentry) and stripped from the public bundle — public source maps leak internal logic and file structure.\n\n---\n\n# React testing\n\n## Library choice\n\n- **React Testing Library (RTL)** — the standard for component testing; tests behavior through the rendered DOM.\n- **Vitest** — preferred runner for new Vite-based projects; faster than Jest, native ESM, same API.\n- **Jest** — still the default for Next.js/CRA projects; RTL works identically.\n- **Playwright Component Testing** — when component tests need a real browser engine (animation, layout, complex events).\n- **Cypress Component Testing** — alternative real-browser component runner.\n\nPick one component test runner per project — do not mix RTL + Playwright CT in the same repo.\n\n## Core principle\n\nTest what the user sees and does, not implementation details. Query by accessible role first, then label, then text — fall back to `data-testid` only when nothing else fits. Never assert on internal state, props passed to children, or which hooks were called. Refactor without breaking tests = the test was testing behavior; that's the goal.\n\n## Query priority\n\n1. **Accessible to everyone:** `getByRole(role, { name })` (primary choice), `getByLabelText` (form inputs), `getByPlaceholderText` (when no label — and add one), `getByText` (non-interactive text), `getByDisplayValue` (form field with a current value).\n2. **Semantic:** `getByAltText` (images), `getByTitle` (last resort, low accessibility value).\n3. **Test IDs:** `getByTestId(\"some-id\")` — escape hatch only, when none of the above work.\n\n`getBy*` throws when no match. `queryBy*` returns `null` (use for asserting absence). `findBy*` returns a promise (use for async).\n\n## User interaction with `userEvent`\n\nPrefer `userEvent` over `fireEvent` — it simulates a real browser sequence (focus, keydown, beforeinput, input, keyup); `fireEvent` dispatches a single synthetic event.\n\n```tsx\nimport userEvent from \"@testing-library/user-event\";\n\ntest(\"submits the form\", async () => {\n  const user = userEvent.setup();\n  render(<UserForm onSubmit={handleSubmit} />);\n\n  await user.type(screen.getByLabelText(\"Email\"), \"user@example.com\");\n  await user.click(screen.getByRole(\"button\", { name: /save/i }));\n\n  expect(handleSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({ email: \"user@example.com\" });\n});\n```\n\nAlways `await` `userEvent` calls — they are async. Call `userEvent.setup()` once at the top of each test, then reuse the returned `user`.\n\n## Async assertions\n\n```tsx\n// WRONG: synchronous query for async-rendered content\nexpect(screen.getByText(\"Loaded\")).toBeInTheDocument();   // throws — not in DOM yet\n\n// CORRECT: findBy* (returns a promise, retries)\nexpect(await screen.findByText(\"Loaded\")).toBeInTheDocument();\n\n// CORRECT: waitFor for non-element assertions\nawait waitFor(() => expect(saveSpy).toHaveBeenCalled());\n\n// CORRECT: element that should disappear\nawait waitForElementToBeRemoved(() => screen.queryByText(\"Loading\"));\n```\n\nNever `setTimeout` + assertion — flaky.\n\n## Network mocking with MSW\n\nMock Service Worker mocks at the network layer, so the component, hooks, and fetch library all behave as in production.\n\n```tsx\n// test/setup.ts\nimport { setupServer } from \"msw/node\";\nimport { http, HttpResponse } from \"msw\";\n\nexport const handlers = [\n  http.get(\"/api/users/:id\", ({ params }) =>\n    HttpResponse.json({ id: params.id, name: \"Alice\" }),\n  ),\n];\n\nexport const server = setupServer(...handlers);\n\nbeforeAll(() => server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: \"error\" }));\nafterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());\nafterAll(() => server.close());\n```\n\n`onUnhandledRequest: \"error\"` makes any unmocked request fail loudly — silent passes are worse than red. Per-test override:\n\n```tsx\ntest(\"renders error on 500\", async () => {\n  server.use(http.get(\"/api/users/:id\", () => new HttpResponse(null, { status: 500 })));\n  render(<UserPage id=\"1\" />);\n  expect(await screen.findByText(/something went wrong/i)).toBeInTheDocument();\n});\n```\n\n## Provider wrapping\n\nWrap providers once in a `test-utils.tsx` and export from there — use everywhere instead of re-wrapping per test.\n\n```tsx\nfunction renderWithProviders(ui: React.ReactElement) {\n  return render(\n    <QueryClientProvider client={new QueryClient()}>\n      <ThemeProvider theme={lightTheme}>\n        <Router>{ui}</Router>\n      </ThemeProvider>\n    </QueryClientProvider>,\n  );\n}\n```\n\n## Custom hook testing\n\nUse `renderHook`/`act` from RTL. Always wrap state-changing calls in `act`; always test through the public hook API, not internal implementation. For hooks reading context, pass a `wrapper`. Instantiate a shared `QueryClient` once per test, outside the wrapper closure — creating it inside resets cache state on every render and produces flaky tests.\n\n```tsx\nimport { renderHook, act } from \"@testing-library/react\";\n\ntest(\"useCounter increments\", () => {\n  const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter());\n  act(() => result.current.increment());\n  expect(result.current.count).toBe(1);\n});\n```\n\n## Accessibility assertions\n\n```tsx\nimport { axe } from \"vitest-axe\";   // or jest-axe\n\ntest(\"UserCard has no a11y violations\", async () => {\n  const { container } = render(<UserCard user={mockUser} />);\n  expect(await axe(container)).toHaveNoViolations();\n});\n```\n\nRun axe assertions in component tests for every interactive component — catches missing labels, invalid ARIA usage, poor color contrast (limited to inline styles; real visual contrast belongs in Playwright), missing alt text, and heading order violations.\n\n## Avoid snapshot tests for components\n\nSnapshots of rendered output are brittle, hard to review, and get rubber-stamped by reviewers — they test DOM structure, not behavior. Acceptable uses: pure data serialization functions (stable string output) and generated config files. For component visual regression, use Playwright/Cypress/Percy screenshots — actual visual diffs, not DOM diffs.\n\n## Coverage targets\n\n| Layer | Target |\n|---|---|\n| Pure utility functions | ≥90% |\n| Custom hooks | ≥85% |\n| Components (presentational) | ≥80% — behavior, not lines |\n| Container components | ≥70% — golden paths + error states |\n| Pages (E2E covered separately) | Smoke test per route minimum |\n\n## Anti-patterns\n\n- Asserting on `container.querySelector` — bypasses accessibility queries.\n- Asserting on number of renders — implementation detail.\n- Mocking React itself or framework hooks (`jest.mock(\"react\", ...)`) — refactor the component instead.\n- Mocking child components by default — tests the integration, not the parent in isolation; mock only when the child has heavy side effects.\n- Ignoring `act()` warnings — they indicate real bugs (state update after unmount, missing async wrapping).\n- Sharing mutable state across tests — flakes when test order changes.\n\n## When to reach for Playwright/Cypress\n\nRTL + JSDOM cannot test real layout (flexbox, grid, viewport-dependent rendering), scrolling, drag-and-drop, paste from clipboard, native browser animation/CSS transitions, or cross-frame interactions (iframes, popups). For those, use Playwright Component Testing or full end-to-end Playwright/Cypress runs.\n\n---\n\n# React performance\n\nOrganized by priority — highest-impact categories first. Rules are adapted from Vercel Labs' `react-best-practices` skill (MIT).\n\n## 1. Eliminating waterfalls (CRITICAL)\n\nEvery sequential `await` adds full network latency — this is the #1 performance killer.\n\n- **Cheap conditions before await:** check sync conditions (props, env, hardcoded flags) before awaiting remote data.\n- **Defer awaits until used:** move `await` into the branch that actually needs it, don't await unconditionally up front.\n- **`Promise.all` for independent work:**\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT — sequential\nconst user = await getUser(id);\nconst posts = await getPosts(id);\nconst followers = await getFollowers(id);\n\n// CORRECT — parallel\nconst [user, posts, followers] = await Promise.all([\n  getUser(id),\n  getPosts(id),\n  getFollowers(id),\n]);\n```\n\n- **Partial dependencies — start early, await late:** kick off all promises immediately, only `await` each when its result is actually needed.\n- **Suspense for streaming:** push `<Suspense>` boundaries close to the data so the page paints what it can while slower sub-trees stream in; reserve space (skeleton/`min-height`) for the resulting layout shift.\n- **Server Components: parallel through composition** — sibling `await`s inside one async Server Component run sequentially; split into sibling child components instead so React can run them in parallel.\n\n## 2. Bundle size (CRITICAL)\n\n- **Direct imports, not barrels:** `import { Button } from \"@/components/Button\"` — barrel `index.ts` files force the bundler to walk the entire module graph even when tree-shaking removes most of it; this can cost 200-800ms of first-load JS. Next.js 13.5+'s Optimize Package Imports automates this for listed packages.\n- **Statically analyzable paths:** `name === \"home\" ? await import(\"./pages/home\") : await import(\"./pages/about\")`, never a template-literal dynamic import path — it defeats bundler/trace analysis.\n- **Dynamic imports for heavy components:** `dynamic(() => import(\"./HeavyChart\"), { loading: () => <Skeleton />, ssr: false })`.\n- **Defer third-party scripts:** load analytics, logging, support widgets after hydration (`next/script` `strategy=\"afterInteractive\"` or `\"lazyOnload\"`).\n- **Conditional module loading:** `if (user.role === \"admin\") { const { AdminPanel } = await import(\"./admin/AdminPanel\"); }`.\n- **Preload on hover/focus:** trigger `<link rel=\"preload\">` or `import()` on hover so the bundle is cached by click time.\n\n## 3. Server-side performance (HIGH)\n\n- **Authenticate Server Actions like API routes:** every `\"use server\"` function is a public endpoint — authenticate and authorize inside the action itself, never rely on the calling Client Component's gating.\n- **`React.cache()` for per-request dedup:** `getUser(\"1\")` called from three Server Components in the same render becomes one DB query.\n- **LRU cache for cross-request data** that doesn't change per request (config, lookup tables) — cache outside React with an LRU cache or `unstable_cache`.\n- **Avoid duplicate serialization in RSC props:** when a Server Component renders the same data into multiple Client Components, lift the Client Component up and pass `children` instead.\n- **Hoist static I/O to module scope** — e.g. `readFileSync` for a font at module load, not per-request.\n- **No mutable module-level state in RSC/SSR** — it's shared across all requests, a race condition between users. Use request-scoped storage instead.\n- **Minimize data passed to Client Components** — only serialize what the client needs; strip fields, paginate, project columns at the DB layer.\n- **Parallelize nested fetches** with `Promise.all` per item when enriching a list.\n- **Use `after()`** (Next.js 15) for non-blocking work after the response is sent — logging, cache warming, analytics.\n\n## 4. Client-side data fetching (MEDIUM-HIGH)\n\n- Use SWR or TanStack Query for deduplication — multiple components calling `useUser(id)` should share one network request and one cache entry; never roll your own `useEffect` + `fetch` for shared data.\n- Deduplicate global event listeners — one shared listener via a hook + global subject, not one `addEventListener` per component instance.\n- Use passive listeners for scroll (`{ passive: true }`) — improves scroll smoothness (the listener can't `preventDefault()`).\n- `localStorage`: always store a `version` field and bump it on schema change; keep payloads small since the API is synchronous and blocks the main thread.\n\n## 5. Re-render optimization (MEDIUM)\n\n- Don't subscribe to state that's only used in callbacks — read it once via `store.getState()` at call time instead of subscribing.\n- Extract expensive work into `memo`-wrapped components so a child re-renders only when its actual props change.\n- Hoist default non-primitive props to a module-level constant (`const EMPTY: Item[] = []`) — an inline `items ?? []` creates a new array every render and breaks memoization.\n- Use primitive dependencies in effects, not object/array literals that get a new identity every render.\n- Subscribe to derived booleans from a store, not the raw collection (`useStore(s => s.cart.length > 0)` re-renders only when emptiness flips).\n- Derive during render, never via `useEffect` — `useEffect(() => setFull(`${first} ${last}`), [first, last])` adds a render cycle for no reason; `const full = `${first} ${last}`` doesn't.\n- Use the functional `setState` updater for stable callbacks (`useCallback(() => setCount(c => c + 1), [])`).\n- Use a lazy state initializer (`useState(() => parseTree(largeInput))`) for expensive initial values.\n- Avoid `useMemo` for cheap primitives (`x + 1`) — memo earns its keep on object identity and genuinely expensive computation.\n- Split hooks with independent dependencies instead of one hook reading multiple unrelated sources, so an unrelated source's update doesn't re-run both selectors.\n- Move interaction logic into event handlers, which run only on the user action, instead of `useEffect`, which re-runs whenever its deps change.\n- Use `startTransition`/`useTransition` for non-urgent updates and `useDeferredValue` for expensive renders driven by fast-changing input.\n- Use `useRef` for transient, frequently-changing values that should not trigger a re-render (timestamps, last-key, accumulators).\n- Don't define components inside components — each render creates a new component type, defeating reconciliation and unmounting children.\n\n## 6. Rendering performance (MEDIUM)\n\n- Animate the wrapper `<div>` around an SVG (GPU-accelerated), not the SVG itself (triggers paint).\n- `content-visibility: auto` on long-list rows lets the browser skip offscreen rendering — a major win for lists with hundreds of rows.\n- Hoist static JSX to a module-level constant when it never changes across renders.\n- Reduce SVG coordinate precision (`M10.123456,20.654321` → `M10.12,20.65`) — each digit costs bytes with no visible difference.\n- For hydration no-flicker on values needed before hydration (theme, locale), inline a `<script>` that sets `document.documentElement.dataset.*` before React mounts.\n- Use `suppressHydrationWarning` only on known-divergent leaf nodes (e.g. a `<time>` rendering `Date.now()`), never on a tree containing other children.\n- Use React 19's `<Activity mode=\"visible|hidden\">` for show/hide instead of mount/unmount — cheaper for tabs and accordions since it keeps tree state and effects mounted.\n- Use a ternary, not `&&`, for conditional render when the left side can be falsy-but-not-boolean (`0` renders as a text node).\n- Use `preload`/`preconnect` from `react-dom` for resource hints; `defer`/`async` on `<script>` tags as appropriate.\n\n## 7. JavaScript performance (LOW-MEDIUM)\n\nBatch DOM/CSS changes via class swap, not property-by-property. Use `Map` for repeated lookups (`O(1)` vs `O(n)`). Cache property access in loops (`const len = arr.length`). Memoize pure functions with a module-level `Map`. Cache `localStorage` reads — one read per render, not per access. Combine `filter().map()` into a single pass. Check array length before expensive comparisons. Prefer early return. Hoist `RegExp` construction out of loops. Loop for min/max instead of `sort()` (`O(n)` vs `O(n log n)`). Use `Set`/`Map` for membership tests over `Array.includes`. Use `toSorted()` over in-place `.sort()` when immutability matters. Use `flatMap` to map and filter in one pass. Use `requestIdleCallback` for non-critical work.\n\n## 8. Advanced patterns (LOW)\n\n- Values from `useEffectEvent` are stable — do not add them to an effect's dependency array.\n- For a stable callback passed to a memoized child, keep the latest handler in a ref and wrap a stable `useCallback` around reading `ref.current`.\n- Guard module-level singleton initialization (telemetry, logger) with a module-scope flag, not `useEffect`.\n\n## Automation note\n\nMany of the re-render rules above are now automatable — Next.js 13.5+'s Optimize Package Imports, the React Compiler (auto-memoization), Turbopack, and `@next/bundle-analyzer`. Once a project ships the React Compiler, demote manual `useMemo`/`useCallback` memoization to review-only — it becomes unnecessary noise.\n\n## Web Vitals mapping\n\n| Metric | Most relevant categories |\n|---|---|\n| LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) | Waterfalls, Bundle Size, Resource Hints |\n| INP (Interaction to Next Paint) | Re-render, Rendering, JavaScript |\n| CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) | Rendering (Suspense placement, image dimensions) |\n| TBT (Total Blocking Time) | Bundle Size, JavaScript, Defer Third-Party |\n\n---\n\n## Flag in review (a linter won't catch these)\n\n- An exported function with no parameter/return types.\n- `any` where `unknown` plus a type guard would do.\n- In-place mutation of a function argument or of React state.\n- A repeated inline object shape that should be a named type.\n- A hook called conditionally, or state mutated directly then passed to `setState`.\n- `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` with unsanitized input, or an unvalidated URL scheme in `href`/`src`.\n- `target=\"_blank\"` without `rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"`.\n- A `\"use server\"` action with no schema validation or authorization check.\n- A `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`/`VITE_*`/`REACT_APP_*` env var holding a private secret.\n- `key={index}` on a list that can reorder, insert, or delete.\n- Sequential `await`s that could run via `Promise.all`.\n"

+      "body": "# React Patterns\n\nIdiomatic React 18/19 patterns for building robust, accessible, performant component trees.\n\n## When to Activate\n\n- Writing or modifying React function components, custom hooks, or component trees\n- Reviewing JSX/TSX files\n- Designing state shape or component composition\n- Migrating class components or older `forwardRef`/`useEffect`-heavy code\n- Choosing between local state, lifted state, context, and external stores\n- Working with Server Components / Client Components (Next.js App Router, RSC)\n- Implementing forms with React 19 actions or controlled inputs\n- Wiring data fetching with TanStack Query / SWR / RSC\n\n## Core Principles\n\n### 1. Render is a Pure Function of Props and State\n\n```tsx\n// Good: derive during render\nfunction Cart({ items }: { items: CartItem[] }) {\n  const total = items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.qty, 0);\n  return <span>{formatMoney(total)}</span>;\n}\n\n// Bad: derived state stored separately\nfunction Cart({ items }: { items: CartItem[] }) {\n  const [total, setTotal] = useState(0);\n  useEffect(() => {\n    setTotal(items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.qty, 0));\n  }, [items]);\n  return <span>{formatMoney(total)}</span>;\n}\n```\n\nDerived state in `useEffect` adds a render cycle, can desync, and obscures the data flow.\n\n### 2. Side Effects Outside Render\n\nEffects, mutations, network calls, and subscriptions live in event handlers or `useEffect` — never in the render body.\n\n### 3. Composition Over Inheritance\n\nReact has no inheritance model for components. Compose with `children`, render props, or component props.\n\n## Hooks Discipline\n\nSee [rules/react/hooks.md](../../rules/react/hooks.md) for the full ruleset. Highlights:\n\n- Top-level only, never conditional\n- Cleanup every subscription, interval, listener\n- Functional updater (`setX(prev => prev + 1)`) when new state depends on old\n- Default position: do not memoize — add `useMemo`/`useCallback` only when a profiler or a dependency chain proves it matters\n- Extract a custom hook only when the same hook sequence appears in 2+ components\n\n## State Location Decision Tree\n\n```\nUsed by one component?\n  -> useState inside it\n\nUsed by parent + a few descendants?\n  -> lift to nearest common ancestor\n\nUsed across distant branches AND low-frequency reads (theme, auth, locale)?\n  -> React Context\n\nHigh-frequency updates shared across the tree?\n  -> external store (Zustand, Jotai, Redux Toolkit)\n\nDerived from a server?\n  -> server-state library (TanStack Query, SWR, RSC fetch)\n```\n\nMost pages do not need context or a global store. Resist abstraction until duplicated lifting becomes painful.\n\n## Server / Client Components (RSC)\n\n```tsx\n// Server Component - default, async, never ships JS for itself\nexport default async function ProductPage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {\n  const product = await db.product.findUnique({ where: { id: params.id } });\n  if (!product) notFound();\n  return <ProductView product={product} />;\n}\n\n// Client Component - opt in with \"use client\"\n\"use client\";\nexport function AddToCartButton({ productId }: { productId: string }) {\n  const [pending, startTransition] = useTransition();\n  return (\n    <button\n      disabled={pending}\n      onClick={() => startTransition(() => addToCart(productId))}\n    >\n      {pending ? \"Adding...\" : \"Add to cart\"}\n    </button>\n  );\n}\n```\n\nBoundaries:\n\n- Server -> Client: pass serializable props or `children`\n- Client -> Server: invoke Server Actions via `<form action={...}>` or imperatively from event handlers\n- Never `import` a Server Component from a Client Component file — compose them via `children` instead\n\n## Suspense + Error Boundaries\n\n```tsx\n<ErrorBoundary fallback={<ErrorView />}>\n  <Suspense fallback={<UserSkeleton />}>\n    <UserDetail id={id} />\n  </Suspense>\n</ErrorBoundary>\n```\n\n- Place Suspense boundaries close to the data, not at the route root — progressively reveal content\n- Error Boundary remains a class API; use `react-error-boundary` for a hook-friendly wrapper\n- A boundary catches errors thrown during render, lifecycle, and constructors of its children — NOT in event handlers or async code\n\n## Forms\n\n### React 19 form actions (preferred for new code)\n\n```tsx\n\"use client\";\nimport { useActionState } from \"react\";\n\nconst initial = { error: null as string | null };\n\nasync function updateUserAction(_prev: typeof initial, formData: FormData) {\n  \"use server\";\n  const parsed = UserSchema.safeParse(Object.fromEntries(formData));\n  if (!parsed.success) return { error: \"Invalid input\" };\n  await db.user.update({ where: { id: parsed.data.id }, data: parsed.data });\n  return { error: null };\n}\n\nexport function UserForm() {\n  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(updateUserAction, initial);\n  return (\n    <form action={formAction}>\n      <input name=\"name\" required />\n      <button type=\"submit\" disabled={pending}>Save</button>\n      {state.error && <p role=\"alert\">{state.error}</p>}\n    </form>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### Controlled inputs\n\nUse controlled when the value drives other UI, formats on every keystroke, or implements real-time validation.\n\n### Complex forms\n\nFor multi-step forms, dynamic field arrays, or cross-field validation: use a library (React Hook Form, TanStack Form). Roll-your-own state management for forms past trivial complexity is a maintenance trap.\n\n## Data Fetching Decision Matrix\n\n| Need | Tool |\n|---|---|\n| Per-request data in Next.js App Router | RSC `await fetch()` |\n| Client-side cache + mutations + invalidation | TanStack Query |\n| Lightweight client cache + revalidation | SWR |\n| Real-time subscriptions | Server-Sent Events, WebSockets, or the lib's subscription API |\n| One-off fire-and-forget | `fetch()` in an event handler |\n\nAvoid `useEffect` + `fetch` for application data — race conditions, no cache, no retry, no Suspense integration.\n\n## Composition Recipes\n\n### Slot via `children`\n\n```tsx\n<Layout>\n  <Header />\n  <Main>{content}</Main>\n</Layout>\n```\n\n### Named slots\n\n```tsx\n<Page header={<Nav />} sidebar={<Filters />}>\n  <Results />\n</Page>\n```\n\n### Compound components (shared state via Context)\n\n```tsx\n<Tabs defaultValue=\"profile\">\n  <Tabs.List>\n    <Tabs.Trigger value=\"profile\">Profile</Tabs.Trigger>\n    <Tabs.Trigger value=\"settings\">Settings</Tabs.Trigger>\n  </Tabs.List>\n  <Tabs.Panel value=\"profile\"><Profile /></Tabs.Panel>\n  <Tabs.Panel value=\"settings\"><Settings /></Tabs.Panel>\n</Tabs>\n```\n\n### Render prop / function-as-child\n\nUseful when the parent needs to pass parameters to the rendered output:\n\n```tsx\n<DataLoader id={id}>\n  {({ data, isLoading }) => isLoading ? <Spinner /> : <UserCard user={data} />}\n</DataLoader>\n```\n\nModern alternative: a hook (`useData(id)`) returning the same shape — usually cleaner.\n\n## Performance\n\n### When `React.memo` Actually Helps\n\nWrap a component in `React.memo` only when:\n\n1. It re-renders frequently\n2. Its props are usually the same between renders\n3. Its render is measurably expensive\n\n`React.memo` adds an equality check on every render. If props differ on most renders, the check is pure overhead.\n\n### Avoiding Render Cascades\n\n- Lift state down rather than up where possible\n- Split context: one context per concern, so a change to `themeContext` does not re-render auth consumers\n- Use `useSyncExternalStore` for external state libraries — required for safe concurrent rendering\n\n### Lists\n\n- Provide stable `key` props (database id, not array index)\n- Virtualize long lists with `@tanstack/react-virtual` or `react-window` once visible item count exceeds ~50 with non-trivial rows\n\n## Accessibility-First Composition\n\n- Always render semantic HTML (`<button>`, `<a>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`) before reaching for `role` attributes\n- Every interactive element must be reachable by keyboard\n- Form inputs need labels — `<label htmlFor>` or `aria-label` if visually labeled by an icon\n- Manage focus on route changes and modal open/close\n- Run `axe` in component tests (see [skills/react-testing](../react-testing/SKILL.md))\n- Cross-link: [skills/accessibility/SKILL.md](../accessibility/SKILL.md) covers WCAG criteria and pattern libraries\n\n## Routing\n\nThis skill is router-agnostic. The patterns above work with React Router, TanStack Router, Next.js App Router, Remix Router. Router-specific patterns (loaders, actions, nested layouts) follow the router's documentation — those are framework concerns layered on top of React core.\n\n## Out of Scope (Pointer Sections)\n\n- **Next.js specifics**: App Router data loading, Route Handlers, Middleware, Parallel Routes — separate concern, use Next.js docs\n- **React Native**: Platform-specific patterns differ enough to warrant a separate `react-native-patterns` skill (not present yet)\n- **Remix**: Loader/action conventions overlap with RSC but follow Remix docs\n\n## Related\n\n- Rules: [rules/react/](../../rules/react/) — coding-style, hooks, patterns, security, testing\n- Skills: [react-performance](../react-performance/SKILL.md) for the Vercel-derived performance ruleset, [frontend-patterns](../frontend-patterns/SKILL.md) for cross-framework UI concerns, [accessibility](../accessibility/SKILL.md), [angular-developer](../angular-developer/SKILL.md) for framework comparison\n- Agents: `react-reviewer` for code review, `react-build-resolver` for build/bundler errors\n- Commands: `/react-review`, `/react-build`, `/react-test`\n\n## Examples\n\n### Custom hook for debounced search\n\n```tsx\nfunction useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay = 300): T {\n  const [debounced, setDebounced] = useState(value);\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const id = setTimeout(() => setDebounced(value), delay);\n    return () => clearTimeout(id);\n  }, [value, delay]);\n  return debounced;\n}\n\nfunction SearchBox() {\n  const [query, setQuery] = useState(\"\");\n  const debounced = useDebounce(query, 300);\n  const { data } = useQuery({\n    queryKey: [\"search\", debounced],\n    queryFn: () => searchApi(debounced),\n    enabled: debounced.length > 0,\n  });\n  return (\n    <>\n      <input value={query} onChange={(e) => setQuery(e.target.value)} />\n      <Results items={data ?? []} />\n    </>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### Optimistic UI with React 19 `useOptimistic`\n\n```tsx\n\"use client\";\nimport { useOptimistic } from \"react\";\n\nexport function MessageList({ messages }: { messages: Message[] }) {\n  const [optimistic, addOptimistic] = useOptimistic(\n    messages,\n    (state, newMessage: Message) => [...state, newMessage],\n  );\n\n  async function send(formData: FormData) {\n    const text = String(formData.get(\"text\"));\n    addOptimistic({ id: \"pending\", text, sender: \"me\" });\n    await saveMessage(text);\n  }\n\n  return (\n    <>\n      <ul>{optimistic.map((m) => <li key={m.id}>{m.text}</li>)}</ul>\n      <form action={send}>\n        <input name=\"text\" />\n        <button type=\"submit\">Send</button>\n      </form>\n    </>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### Splitting context to avoid render cascades\n\n```tsx\n// Two contexts: one rarely changes, one frequently\nconst ThemeContext = createContext<Theme>(\"light\");\nconst NotificationsContext = createContext<Notification[]>([]);\n\n// A component that only consumes ThemeContext does NOT re-render when notifications change\n```\n",

+      "body": "# React Performance\n\nPerformance optimization patterns for React 18/19 and Next.js, adapted from [Vercel Labs `react-best-practices`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/react-best-practices) (MIT, v1.0.0). This skill organizes rules by priority and provides decision-tree guidance for active code review and refactoring.\n\n## When to Activate\n\n- Writing or reviewing React/Next.js code for performance\n- Diagnosing slow page loads, slow interactions, or high CPU on the client\n- Auditing bundle size or Lighthouse Core Web Vitals regressions\n- Removing waterfalls in Server Components / API routes\n- Reducing client-side re-renders\n- Optimizing long lists, animations, or hydration\n- Auditing optimization choices in PRs touching `app/`, `pages/`, `components/`, or data layers\n\n## Priority Index\n\n| Priority | Category | Prefix | When it matters |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 — CRITICAL | Eliminating Waterfalls | `async-` | Anytime `await` is followed by independent `await` |\n| 2 — CRITICAL | Bundle Size Optimization | `bundle-` | First-load JS, route-level imports, third-party libs |\n| 3 — HIGH | Server-Side Performance | `server-` | RSC, Server Actions, API routes, SSR |\n| 4 — MEDIUM-HIGH | Client-Side Data Fetching | `client-` | SWR / TanStack Query / raw `fetch` in hooks |\n| 5 — MEDIUM | Re-render Optimization | `rerender-` | High-frequency state updates, parent-child fan-out |\n| 6 — MEDIUM | Rendering Performance | `rendering-` | Long lists, animations, hydration |\n| 7 — LOW-MEDIUM | JavaScript Performance | `js-` | Hot loops, frequent allocations |\n| 8 — LOW | Advanced Patterns | `advanced-` | Effect-event integration, stable refs |\n\n## 1. Eliminating Waterfalls (CRITICAL)\n\n> \"Waterfalls are the #1 performance killer\" — every sequential `await` adds full network latency.\n\n### Cheap conditions before await\n\nCheck sync conditions (props, env, hardcoded flags) before awaiting remote data.\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT\nasync function Page({ id }: { id: string }) {\n  const flag = await getFlag(\"show-page\");\n  if (!flag || !id) return null;\n  const data = await getData(id);\n  // ...\n}\n\n// CORRECT — short-circuit on cheap sync condition first\nasync function Page({ id }: { id: string }) {\n  if (!id) return null;\n  const flag = await getFlag(\"show-page\");\n  if (!flag) return null;\n  const data = await getData(id);\n}\n```\n\n### Defer awaits until used\n\nMove `await` into the branch that uses it.\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT — awaits before deciding it needs the data\nconst user = await getUser(id);\nif (mode === \"guest\") return renderGuest();\nreturn renderUser(user);\n\n// CORRECT\nif (mode === \"guest\") return renderGuest();\nconst user = await getUser(id);\nreturn renderUser(user);\n```\n\n### Promise.all for independent work\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT — sequential\nconst user = await getUser(id);\nconst posts = await getPosts(id);\nconst followers = await getFollowers(id);\n\n// CORRECT — parallel\nconst [user, posts, followers] = await Promise.all([\n  getUser(id),\n  getPosts(id),\n  getFollowers(id),\n]);\n```\n\n### Partial dependencies — start early, await late\n\n```ts\n// CORRECT — kick off all promises, await only when each result is needed\nconst userP = getUser(id);\nconst postsP = getPosts(id);\nconst profile = await getProfile(id);\nif (profile.private) return null;\nconst [user, posts] = await Promise.all([userP, postsP]);\n```\n\n### Suspense for streaming\n\nPush `<Suspense>` boundaries close to the data so the page paints what it can while slower sub-trees stream in. The trade-off: layout shift when content arrives — reserve space (skeleton or `min-height`).\n\n### Server Components: parallel through composition\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — sibling awaits run sequentially inside one component\nexport default async function Page() {\n  const user = await getUser();\n  const cart = await getCart();\n  return <View user={user} cart={cart} />;\n}\n\n// CORRECT — split into children, React runs them in parallel\nexport default async function Page() {\n  return (\n    <View>\n      <UserSection />\n      <CartSection />\n    </View>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n## 2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)\n\n### Direct imports, not barrels\n\nBarrel `index.ts` files force the bundler to walk the entire module graph even when tree-shaking removes most of it. Direct imports save 200-800ms of first-load JS in many real-world apps.\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT\nimport { Button, Card, Modal } from \"@/components\";\n\n// CORRECT\nimport { Button } from \"@/components/Button\";\nimport { Card } from \"@/components/Card\";\nimport { Modal } from \"@/components/Modal\";\n```\n\nNext.js 13.5+ has [Optimize Package Imports](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/next-config-js/optimizePackageImports) that automates this for listed packages — use it; manual direct imports still required for non-listed libs.\n\n### Statically analyzable paths\n\n```ts\n// INCORRECT — defeats bundler/trace analysis\nconst mod = await import(`./pages/${name}`);\n\n// CORRECT — explicit per branch\nconst mod = name === \"home\" ? await import(\"./pages/home\") : await import(\"./pages/about\");\n```\n\n### Dynamic imports for heavy components\n\n```tsx\nimport dynamic from \"next/dynamic\";\n\nconst HeavyChart = dynamic(() => import(\"./HeavyChart\"), {\n  loading: () => <Skeleton />,\n  ssr: false, // when client-only\n});\n```\n\n### Defer third-party scripts\n\nLoad analytics, logging, support widgets AFTER hydration. Use `next/script` with `strategy=\"afterInteractive\"` (default) or `\"lazyOnload\"`.\n\n### Conditional module loading\n\n```tsx\nif (user.role === \"admin\") {\n  const { AdminPanel } = await import(\"./admin/AdminPanel\");\n  // ...\n}\n```\n\n### Preload on hover/focus\n\nTrigger `<link rel=\"preload\">` or `import()` on hover so the bundle is in cache by the time the user clicks.\n\n## 3. Server-Side Performance (HIGH)\n\n### Authenticate Server Actions like API routes\n\nEvery `\"use server\"` function is a public endpoint. Authenticate AND authorize inside the action — never rely on the calling Client Component's gating.\n\n```ts\n\"use server\";\nexport async function deleteUser(formData: FormData) {\n  const session = await getSession();\n  if (!session?.user) throw new Error(\"Unauthorized\");\n  const targetId = String(formData.get(\"id\"));\n  if (session.user.role !== \"admin\" && session.user.id !== targetId) {\n    throw new Error(\"Forbidden\");\n  }\n  await db.user.delete({ where: { id: targetId } });\n}\n```\n\n### `React.cache()` for per-request deduplication\n\n```ts\nimport { cache } from \"react\";\n\nexport const getUser = cache(async (id: string) => {\n  return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });\n});\n```\n\n`React.cache` dedupes within a single request. Calling `getUser(\"1\")` from three Server Components in the same render = one DB query.\n\n### LRU cache for cross-request data\n\nFor data that does NOT change per request (config, lookup tables), cache outside React with an LRU cache or `unstable_cache`.\n\n### Avoid duplicate serialization in RSC props\n\nWhen a Server Component renders the same data into multiple Client Components, the data is serialized once per consumer. Lift the Client Component up and pass children.\n\n### Hoist static I/O to module scope\n\n```ts\n// CORRECT — runs once at module load\nconst fontData = readFileSync(fontPath);\n\nexport async function Page() {\n  return <Banner font={fontData} />;\n}\n```\n\n### No mutable module-level state in RSC/SSR\n\nModule state on the server is shared across all requests — a race condition between users. Use request-scoped storage (`headers()`, `cookies()`, async context) instead.\n\n### Minimize data passed to Client Components\n\nOnly serialize what the Client needs. Strip fields, paginate, project columns at the DB layer.\n\n### Parallelize nested fetches with Promise.all per item\n\n```ts\nconst users = await getUsers();\nconst enriched = await Promise.all(\n  users.map(async (u) => ({ ...u, posts: await getPostsFor(u.id) })),\n);\n```\n\n### Use `after()` for non-blocking work\n\nNext.js 15 `after()` runs work after the response is sent — logging, cache warming, analytics.\n\n```ts\nimport { after } from \"next/server\";\nexport async function GET() {\n  const data = await getData();\n  after(() => logAnalytics(data));\n  return Response.json(data);\n}\n```\n\n## 4. Client-Side Data Fetching (MEDIUM-HIGH)\n\n### SWR / TanStack Query for deduplication\n\nMultiple components calling `useUser(id)` should share one network request and one cache entry. Use SWR or TanStack Query — never roll your own `useEffect` + `fetch` for shared data.\n\n### Deduplicate global event listeners\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — every component adds its own\nuseEffect(() => {\n  window.addEventListener(\"scroll\", handler);\n  return () => window.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", handler);\n}, []);\n\n// CORRECT — single shared listener via a hook + global subject\nconst useScroll = createScrollHook(); // singleton subject under the hood\n```\n\n### Passive listeners for scroll\n\n```ts\nwindow.addEventListener(\"scroll\", handler, { passive: true });\n```\n\nImproves scrolling smoothness; the listener cannot `preventDefault()`.\n\n### localStorage: version + minimize\n\n- Always store a `version` field; bump on schema change and migrate or discard old data\n- Keep payloads small — `localStorage` is synchronous and blocks main thread\n\n## 5. Re-render Optimization (MEDIUM)\n\n### Don't subscribe to state used only in callbacks\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — re-renders every time count changes\nconst count = useStore((s) => s.count);\nconst handler = () => doSomething(count);\n\n// CORRECT — read once on call\nconst handler = () => {\n  const count = useStore.getState().count;\n  doSomething(count);\n};\n```\n\n### Extract expensive work into memoized components\n\n```tsx\n// CORRECT — child re-renders only when `items` changes\nconst Heavy = memo(function Heavy({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {\n  return <Chart data={transform(items)} />;\n});\n```\n\n### Hoist default non-primitive props\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — new array each render breaks memo\n<List items={items ?? []} />\n\n// CORRECT\nconst EMPTY: Item[] = [];\n<List items={items ?? EMPTY} />\n```\n\n### Primitive dependencies in effects\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — new object identity every render\nuseEffect(() => {}, [{ id, name }]);\n\n// CORRECT — primitives\nuseEffect(() => {}, [id, name]);\n```\n\n### Subscribe to derived booleans, not raw values\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — re-renders for any cart change\nconst cart = useStore((s) => s.cart);\nconst hasItems = cart.length > 0;\n\n// CORRECT — re-renders only when emptiness flips\nconst hasItems = useStore((s) => s.cart.length > 0);\n```\n\n### Derive during render, never via `useEffect`\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT\nconst [full, setFull] = useState(\"\");\nuseEffect(() => setFull(`${first} ${last}`), [first, last]);\n\n// CORRECT\nconst full = `${first} ${last}`;\n```\n\n### Functional `setState` for stable callbacks\n\n```tsx\n// CORRECT\nconst increment = useCallback(() => setCount((c) => c + 1), []);\n```\n\n### Lazy state initializer for expensive values\n\n```tsx\nconst [tree] = useState(() => parseTree(largeInput));\n```\n\n### Avoid memo for simple primitives\n\n`useMemo(() => x + 1, [x])` is overhead. Memo earns its keep on object identity and expensive computation.\n\n### Split hooks with independent deps\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — both selectors re-run if either source changes\nconst { a, b } = useSomething(source1, source2);\n\n// CORRECT\nconst a = useA(source1);\nconst b = useB(source2);\n```\n\n### Move interaction logic into event handlers\n\nEvent handlers run only on the user action — `useEffect` re-runs whenever deps change.\n\n### `startTransition` for non-urgent updates\n\n```tsx\nconst [pending, startTransition] = useTransition();\nstartTransition(() => setFilters(newFilters));\n```\n\n### `useDeferredValue` for expensive renders\n\n```tsx\nconst deferredQuery = useDeferredValue(query);\nconst results = useMemo(() => expensiveSearch(deferredQuery), [deferredQuery]);\n```\n\n### `useRef` for transient frequent values\n\nFor values that change often but should not trigger re-render (timestamps, last-key, accumulators).\n\n### Don't define components inside components\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — Inner is a new component on every Outer render\nfunction Outer() {\n  const Inner = () => <span />;\n  return <Inner />;\n}\n```\n\nEach render makes a new `Inner` type, defeating reconciliation and unmounting children.\n\n## 6. Rendering Performance (MEDIUM)\n\n### Animate the wrapper, not the SVG\n\nTransforming a `<div>` wrapper around an SVG is GPU-accelerated; transforming the SVG itself triggers paint.\n\n### `content-visibility: auto` for long lists\n\n```css\n.row { content-visibility: auto; contain-intrinsic-size: auto 80px; }\n```\n\nBrowser skips offscreen rendering — major win for lists with hundreds of rows.\n\n### Hoist static JSX\n\n```tsx\nconst STATIC_HEADER = <h1>Title</h1>;\nfunction Page() {\n  return <>{STATIC_HEADER}<Body /></>;\n}\n```\n\n### SVG: reduce coordinate precision\n\n`d=\"M10.123456,20.654321\"` → `d=\"M10.12,20.65\"`. Each digit costs bytes; the visual difference is sub-pixel.\n\n### Hydration no-flicker via inline script\n\nFor values needed before hydration (theme, locale), inline a `<script>` that sets `document.documentElement.dataset.*` before React mounts.\n\n### Suppress expected hydration mismatches narrowly\n\n```tsx\n<time suppressHydrationWarning>{new Date().toLocaleString()}</time>\n```\n\nUse ONLY for known-divergent leaf nodes — never on a tree containing other children.\n\n### `<Activity>` for show/hide instead of mount/unmount\n\nReact 19 `<Activity mode=\"visible|hidden\">` keeps tree state and effects mounted but hides — cheaper than unmount/remount for tabs and accordions.\n\n### Ternary over `&&` for conditional render\n\n```tsx\n// INCORRECT — `0` renders as text node\n{count && <Badge>{count}</Badge>}\n\n// CORRECT\n{count > 0 ? <Badge>{count}</Badge> : null}\n```\n\n### `useTransition` for loading states\n\nPair `startTransition` with the action; React shows the previous UI as `isPending` while the next state computes.\n\n### React DOM resource hints\n\n```tsx\nimport { preload, preconnect } from \"react-dom\";\npreload(\"/api/critical\", { as: \"fetch\" });\npreconnect(\"https://api.example.com\");\n```\n\n### `defer` / `async` on `<script>` tags\n\n`defer` for ordered execution after DOMContentLoaded; `async` for fire-and-forget.\n\n## 7. JavaScript Performance (LOW-MEDIUM)\n\n- **Batch DOM/CSS changes** — apply via class swap or `cssText`, not property-by-property\n- **`Map` for repeated lookups** — `O(1)` vs `O(n)` linear scan\n- **Cache property access in loops** — `const len = arr.length`\n- **Memoize pure functions** — module-level `Map<key, result>`\n- **Cache `localStorage` reads** — sync API; one read per render\n- **Combine `filter().map()` into one pass** — `flatMap` or single `for`\n- **Check array length first** before expensive comparisons\n- **Early return** from functions\n- **Hoist RegExp** out of loops — compilation is not free\n- **Loop for min/max** instead of `sort()` — `O(n)` vs `O(n log n)`\n- **`Set`/`Map` for membership** — `O(1)` vs `Array.includes` `O(n)`\n- **`toSorted()` over mutation** when immutability matters\n- **`flatMap` to map and filter in one pass**\n- **`requestIdleCallback`** for non-critical work\n\n## 8. Advanced Patterns (LOW)\n\n### `useEffectEvent` deps\n\nValues from `useEffectEvent` are stable — do NOT add them to effect deps.\n\n### Event handler refs\n\nFor stable callbacks passed to memoized children:\n\n```tsx\nconst handlerRef = useRef(handler);\nuseEffect(() => { handlerRef.current = handler; });\nconst stable = useCallback((arg) => handlerRef.current(arg), []);\n```\n\n### Init once per app load\n\nFor module-level singletons (telemetry, logger), guard with a module-scope flag — not `useEffect`.\n\n### `useLatest` for stable callback refs\n\n```tsx\nfunction useLatest<T>(value: T) {\n  const ref = useRef(value);\n  ref.current = value;\n  return ref;\n}\n```\n\n## Automated Tools\n\nMany of these rules are now automated:\n\n- **Next.js 13.5+ Optimize Package Imports** — barrel import optimization\n- **React Compiler** (RFC, in canary) — auto-memoization\n- **Turbopack** — faster builds, better tree-shaking\n- **Bundle Analyzer** (`@next/bundle-analyzer`) — visualize first-load JS\n\nWhen the project ships React Compiler, demote `rerender-*` manual memoization rules to \"review-only\" — the compiler handles them. Manual `useMemo`/`useCallback` becomes unnecessary noise.\n\n## Lighthouse / Web Vitals Mapping\n\n| Metric | Most relevant categories |\n|---|---|\n| **LCP** (Largest Contentful Paint) | Waterfalls, Bundle Size, Resource Hints |\n| **INP** (Interaction to Next Paint) | Re-render, Rendering, JavaScript |\n| **CLS** (Cumulative Layout Shift) | Rendering (Suspense placement, image dimensions) |\n| **TBT** (Total Blocking Time) | Bundle Size, JavaScript, Defer Third-Party |\n| **FID** (legacy) | Bundle Size, Hydration |\n\n## Related\n\n- Skills: [react-patterns](../react-patterns/SKILL.md), [react-testing](../react-testing/SKILL.md), [frontend-patterns](../frontend-patterns/SKILL.md), [accessibility](../accessibility/SKILL.md), [nextjs-turbopack](../nextjs-turbopack/SKILL.md)\n- Rules: [rules/react/](../../rules/react/)\n- Agents: `react-reviewer` enforces these rules in code review; `react-build-resolver` handles related build failures\n- Commands: `/react-review`, `/react-build`, `/react-test`\n\n## Attribution\n\nAdapted from Vercel Labs `react-best-practices` skill (MIT License, copyright Vercel Engineering, v1.0.0 January 2026).

+      "body": "# React Testing\n\nComprehensive React testing patterns for behavior-focused component tests, custom hook tests, accessibility assertions, and network-level mocking.\n\n## When to Activate\n\n- Writing tests for React components, custom hooks, or pages\n- Adding test coverage to legacy untested components\n- Migrating from Enzyme or class-component-era patterns to React Testing Library\n- Setting up Vitest or Jest for a new React project\n- Mocking HTTP requests in tests\n- Asserting accessibility violations\n- Deciding which tests belong in RTL vs Playwright Component Testing vs full E2E\n\n## Core Principle\n\nTest what the user sees and does, not implementation details.\n\nA test should:\n\n- Render the component with the same providers it has in production\n- Interact with it via accessible queries (role, label) and `userEvent`\n- Assert visible output and observable side effects (callback fired, request sent)\n\nA test should NOT:\n\n- Inspect component state, props passed to children, or which hooks were called\n- Mock React itself or framework hooks\n- Assert on the number of renders or DOM structure beyond what affects users\n\n## Library Choice\n\n| Runner | When | Note |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Vitest** | Vite, Remix, modern setups | Faster, native ESM, Jest-compatible API |\n| **Jest** | Next.js, CRA, established repos | Default for many React projects |\n| **Playwright Component Testing** | Real browser engine needed | Use when JSDOM lacks the required feature |\n| **Cypress Component Testing** | Real browser, Cypress already in use | Alternative to Playwright CT |\n\nPick one. Do not run RTL + Vitest AND Playwright CT in the same repo unless you have a clear lane separation.\n\n## Query Priority\n\nReact Testing Library exposes queries in three tiers — use top-down:\n\n1. **Accessible to everyone**: `getByRole`, `getByLabelText`, `getByPlaceholderText`, `getByText`, `getByDisplayValue`\n2. **Semantic**: `getByAltText`, `getByTitle`\n3. **Test IDs (escape hatch)**: `getByTestId`\n\n```tsx\n// Best\nscreen.getByRole(\"button\", { name: /save/i });\n\n// OK for inputs\nscreen.getByLabelText(\"Email\");\n\n// Last resort\nscreen.getByTestId(\"save-btn\");\n```\n\nVariants:\n\n- `getBy*` — throws if no match\n- `queryBy*` — returns `null` (use for \"assert absence\")\n- `findBy*` — async, returns a Promise (use for elements that appear after async work)\n\n## User Interaction with `userEvent`\n\n```tsx\nimport userEvent from \"@testing-library/user-event\";\n\ntest(\"submits the form\", async () => {\n  const user = userEvent.setup();\n  const onSubmit = vi.fn();\n  render(<UserForm onSubmit={onSubmit} />);\n\n  await user.type(screen.getByLabelText(\"Email\"), \"user@example.com\");\n  await user.click(screen.getByRole(\"button\", { name: /save/i }));\n\n  expect(onSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({ email: \"user@example.com\" });\n});\n```\n\n- Always `await` userEvent calls\n- Call `userEvent.setup()` once per test, reuse the returned `user`\n- `userEvent` simulates a real browser sequence; `fireEvent` dispatches a single synthetic event — prefer `userEvent`\n\n## Async Patterns\n\n```tsx\n// Element that appears after async work\nexpect(await screen.findByText(\"Loaded\")).toBeInTheDocument();\n\n// Side effect assertion\nawait waitFor(() => expect(saveSpy).toHaveBeenCalled());\n\n// Element that should disappear\nawait waitForElementToBeRemoved(() => screen.queryByText(\"Loading\"));\n```\n\nNever `setTimeout` + assertion — flaky. Use the matchers above.\n\n## Network Mocking with MSW\n\nMock Service Worker mocks at the network layer. The component, hooks, and fetch library all behave exactly as in production.\n\n### Setup\n\n```ts\n// test/setup.ts\nimport { setupServer } from \"msw/node\";\nimport { http, HttpResponse } from \"msw\";\n\nexport const handlers = [\n  http.get(\"/api/users/:id\", ({ params }) =>\n    HttpResponse.json({ id: params.id, name: \"Alice\" }),\n  ),\n  http.post(\"/api/users\", async ({ request }) => {\n    const body = await request.json();\n    return HttpResponse.json({ id: \"new-id\", ...body }, { status: 201 });\n  }),\n];\n\nexport const server = setupServer(...handlers);\n\nbeforeAll(() => server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: \"error\" }));\nafterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());\nafterAll(() => server.close());\n```\n\nConfigure `onUnhandledRequest: \"error\"` so any unmocked request fails the test loudly — silent passes are worse than red.\n\n### Per-test override\n\n```tsx\ntest(\"renders error on 500\", async () => {\n  server.use(\n    http.get(\"/api/users/:id\", () => new HttpResponse(null, { status: 500 })),\n  );\n  render(<UserPage id=\"1\" />);\n  expect(await screen.findByText(/something went wrong/i)).toBeInTheDocument();\n});\n```\n\n## Provider Wrapping\n\nWrap providers once in a `test-utils.tsx`:\n\n```tsx\n// test-utils.tsx\nimport { render, RenderOptions } from \"@testing-library/react\";\nimport { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from \"@tanstack/react-query\";\n\nexport function renderWithProviders(\n  ui: React.ReactElement,\n  options?: RenderOptions,\n) {\n  const queryClient = new QueryClient({\n    defaultOptions: { queries: { retry: false } },\n  });\n\n  return render(\n    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>\n      <ThemeProvider theme={lightTheme}>\n        <MemoryRouter>{ui}</MemoryRouter>\n      </ThemeProvider>\n    </QueryClientProvider>,\n    options,\n  );\n}\n\nexport * from \"@testing-library/react\";\n```\n\nThen `import { renderWithProviders, screen } from \"test-utils\"` in every test file.\n\n## Custom Hook Testing\n\n```tsx\nimport { renderHook, act } from \"@testing-library/react\";\n\ntest(\"useCounter increments and decrements\", () => {\n  const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter(0));\n\n  expect(result.current.count).toBe(0);\n\n  act(() => result.current.increment());\n  expect(result.current.count).toBe(1);\n\n  act(() => result.current.decrement());\n  expect(result.current.count).toBe(0);\n});\n\ntest(\"useCounter accepts initial value\", () => {\n  const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter(10));\n  expect(result.current.count).toBe(10);\n});\n\ntest(\"useUser fetches user data\", async () => {\n  // Instantiate QueryClient ONCE per test outside the wrapper so it survives re-renders.\n  // Creating it inside the wrapper closure resets cache state on every render, producing flaky tests.\n  const queryClient = new QueryClient({\n    defaultOptions: { queries: { retry: false } },\n  });\n  const wrapper = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (\n    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>\n  );\n\n  const { result } = renderHook(() => useUser(\"1\"), { wrapper });\n\n  await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.isSuccess).toBe(true));\n  expect(result.current.data).toEqual({ id: \"1\", name: \"Alice\" });\n});\n```\n\n- Wrap state-changing calls in `act`\n- Test through the hook's public API only\n- For hooks that use context, pass a `wrapper`\n\n## Accessibility Assertions\n\n```tsx\nimport { axe, toHaveNoViolations } from \"jest-axe\"; // or vitest-axe\nexpect.extend(toHaveNoViolations);\n\ntest(\"UserCard has no a11y violations\", async () => {\n  const { container } = render(<UserCard user={mockUser} />);\n  expect(await axe(container)).toHaveNoViolations();\n});\n```\n\nRun axe in component tests for every interactive component. Catches:\n\n- Missing labels on form inputs\n- Invalid ARIA usage\n- Poor color contrast (limited — JSDOM has no real CSS engine, so this works for inline styles only; visual contrast belongs in Playwright)\n- Missing alt text on images\n- Heading order violations\n\nCross-link: [skills/accessibility/SKILL.md](../accessibility/SKILL.md) for the broader a11y testing playbook.\n\n## When NOT to Use Snapshot Tests\n\nSnapshots of rendered output:\n\n- Break on every styling change\n- Get rubber-stamped during review\n- Test implementation detail (DOM structure), not behavior\n\nAcceptable snapshot uses:\n\n- Pure data serialization functions (`formatInvoice(invoice)` -> stable string)\n- Generated config files (e.g., webpack config output)\n\nFor visual regression on components, use Playwright/Cypress screenshots or Percy/Chromatic — actual visual diffs, not DOM strings.\n\n## When to Reach for Playwright / Cypress\n\nJSDOM (used by Vitest/Jest) cannot:\n\n- Render real layout (flexbox, grid, viewport queries)\n- Run native browser animation, CSS transitions\n- Test scrolling behavior, drag-and-drop, paste from clipboard\n- Handle iframes, popups, downloads, cross-origin flows\n- Run real network in a controlled environment with full DevTools support\n\nFor any of those, use Playwright Component Testing (component test in real browser) or full E2E. See [e2e-testing skill](../e2e-testing/SKILL.md).\n\nDecision boundary:\n\n- A hook, a presentational component, a form with logic -> RTL\n- A component whose layout matters or that uses browser APIs not in JSDOM -> Playwright CT\n- A full user flow across multiple pages -> Playwright/Cypress E2E\n\n## Coverage Targets\n\n| Layer | Target |\n|---|---|\n| Pure utilities | >=90% |\n| Custom hooks | >=85% |\n| Presentational components | >=80% — behavior, not lines |\n| Container components | >=70% — golden paths + error states |\n| Pages | E2E covered separately; smoke test minimum |\n\nConfigure via `vitest.config.ts` / `jest.config.js`:\n\n```ts\n// vitest.config.ts\ntest: {\n  coverage: {\n    provider: \"v8\",\n    reporter: [\"text\", \"html\", \"lcov\"],\n    thresholds: {\n      lines: 80,\n      functions: 80,\n      branches: 70,\n      statements: 80,\n    },\n  },\n}\n```\n\n## Anti-Patterns\n\n- `container.querySelector(\"...\")` — bypasses accessibility queries, lets tests pass when real users would fail\n- Asserting on number of renders — implementation detail\n- `jest.mock(\"react\", ...)` — never mock React. Refactor the component instead\n- Mocking child components by default — tests the integration, not isolation. Mock only when the child has heavy side effects\n- Ignoring `act()` warnings — they signal real bugs (state update after unmount, missing async wrapping)\n- Sharing mutable state across tests — flakes when test order changes\n- Tests that pass with `it.skip()` removed — your test does not actually assert what you think\n\n## TDD Workflow\n\n```\nRED     -> Write failing test for the next requirement\nGREEN   -> Write minimal component code to pass\nREFACTOR -> Improve the component, tests stay green\nREPEAT  -> Next requirement\n```\n\nFor new components:\n\n1. Define the component's prop type and signature\n2. Write the first test for the simplest case\n3. Verify it fails for the right reason\n4. Implement just enough to pass\n5. Add the next test case\n6. Refactor when the third similar test reveals a pattern\n\n## Test Commands\n\n```bash\n# Vitest\nvitest                            # watch\nvitest run                        # one-shot\nvitest run --coverage             # with coverage\nvitest run path/to/file.test.tsx  # single file\n\n# Jest\njest --watch\njest --coverage\njest path/to/file.test.tsx\n\n# CI mode\nCI=true vitest run --coverage\n```\n\n## Related\n\n- Rules: [rules/react/testing.md](../../rules/react/testing.md)\n- Skills: [react-patterns](../react-patterns/SKILL.md), [accessibility](../accessibility/SKILL.md), [e2e-testing](../e2e-testing/SKILL.md), [tdd-workflow](../tdd-workflow/SKILL.md)\n- Agents: `react-reviewer` (reviews test quality during code review), `tdd-guide` (enforces TDD process)\n- Commands: `/react-test`, `/react-review`\n\n## Examples\n\n### Form submission with MSW and userEvent\n\n```tsx\ntest(\"submits user form and shows success\", async () => {\n  server.use(\n    http.post(\"/api/users\", () =>\n      HttpResponse.json({ id: \"1\", name: \"Alice\" }, { status: 201 }),\n    ),\n  );\n\n  const user = userEvent.setup();\n  renderWithProviders(<UserForm />);\n\n  await user.type(screen.getByLabelText(\"Name\"), \"Alice\");\n  await user.type(screen.getByLabelText(\"Email\"), \"alice@example.com\");\n  await user.click(screen.getByRole(\"button\", { name: /save/i }));\n\n  expect(await screen.findByText(/saved successfully/i)).toBeInTheDocument();\n});\n```\n\n### Testing an error boundary\n\n```tsx\nfunction Broken() {\n  throw new Error(\"boom\");\n}\n\ntest(\"error boundary renders fallback\", () => {\n  // Suppress React's console.error noise for the expected throw, then restore so\n  // the spy does not leak across tests and hide real errors elsewhere.\n  const errorSpy = vi.spyOn(console, \"error\").mockImplementation(() => {});\n  try {\n    render(\n      <ErrorBoundary fallback={<div>Something went wrong</div>}>\n        <Broken />\n      </ErrorBoundary>,\n    );\n\n    expect(screen.getByText(\"Something went wrong\")).toBeInTheDocument();\n  } finally {\n    errorSpy.mockRestore();\n  }\n});\n```\n\n### Testing a Suspense boundary\n\n```tsx\ntest(\"shows loading then content\", async () => {\n  renderWithProviders(\n    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>\n      <UserDetail id=\"1\" />\n    </Suspense>,\n  );\n\n  expect(screen.getByText(\"Loading...\")).toBeInTheDocument();\n  expect(await screen.findByText(\"Alice\")).toBeInTheDocument();\n});\n```\n",

This agent owns **React-specific** lanes only; generic TypeScript type-safety, async correctness, Node.js security, and non-React code style are owned by the `typescript-reviewer` agent — both should be invoked together on pull requests that touch `.tsx`/`.jsx`.\n\n## Scope vs typescript-reviewer\n\n| Concern | Owner |\n|---|---|\n| `any` abuse, `as` casts, strict-null violations, generic TS type safety | `typescript-reviewer` |\n| Promise/async correctness, unhandled rejections, floating promises | `typescript-reviewer` |\n| Node.js sync-fs, env validation, generic XSS via `innerHTML` | `typescript-reviewer` |\n| **Hooks rules (conditional, dep arrays, cleanup)** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **`dangerouslySetInnerHTML` audit, unsafe URL schemes** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **Key prop, state mutation, derived-state-in-effect** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **Server/Client Component boundary, RSC leaks** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **Accessibility (semantic HTML, ARIA, focus, labels)** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **Render performance, memo discipline, Suspense placement** | **react-reviewer** |\n| **Server Action input validation, env var leaks via `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`** | **react-reviewer** |\n\nFor a JSX/TSX PR, invoke both agents. For a pure `.ts` change with no React imports, invoke only `typescript-reviewer`.\n\n## When invoked\n\n1. Establish review scope:\n   - PR review: use the actual base branch via `gh pr view --json baseRefName` when available; otherwise the current branch's upstream/merge-base. Never hard-code `main`.\n   - Local review: prefer `git diff --staged -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'` then `git diff -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'`.\n   - If history is shallow or single-commit, fall back to `git show --patch HEAD -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'`.\n2. Before reviewing a PR, inspect merge readiness if metadata is available (`gh pr view --json mergeStateStatus,statusCheckRollup`). If checks are red or there are merge conflicts, stop and report.\n3. Run the project's lint command if present (`npm/pnpm/yarn/bun run lint`) — confirm `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` is configured. If the project lacks `react-hooks/rules-of-hooks` or `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, flag this as a HIGH config issue.\n4. Run the project's typecheck command if present (`npm/pnpm/yarn/bun run typecheck` or `tsc --noEmit -p <tsconfig>`). Skip cleanly for JS-only projects.\n5. If no JSX/TSX changes are present in the diff, defer to `typescript-reviewer` and stop.\n6. Focus on modified `.tsx`/`.jsx` files; read surrounding context before commenting.\n7. Begin review.\n\nYou DO NOT refactor or rewrite code — you report findings only.\n\n## Review Priorities (React-specific only)\n\n### CRITICAL -- React Security\n\n- **`dangerouslySetInnerHTML` with unsanitized input**: User-controlled HTML rendered without DOMPurify or equivalent allowlist sanitizer. Halt review until source is documented and sanitization is at the same call site.\n- **`href` / `src` with unvalidated user URLs**: `javascript:` and `data:` schemes execute code. Require URL scheme validation.\n- **Server Action without input validation**: `\"use server\"` functions accepting `FormData` or arguments without a schema (zod/yup/valibot). Treat as a public API endpoint.\n- **Secret in client bundle**: `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, `REACT_APP_*`, or any client-imported env var holding a private key, token, or service-side secret.\n- **`localStorage`/`sessionStorage` for session tokens**: Accessible to any XSS. Require httpOnly cookies.\n\n### CRITICAL -- Hook Rules\n\n- **Conditional hook call**: Hook inside `if`, `for`, `&&`, ternary, or after early return. `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` should already catch this; flag if the lint rule is disabled.\n- **Hook called outside a component or custom hook**: `useState` in a regular function.\n- **Mutating state directly**: `state.push(x)`, `obj.foo = 1` followed by `setObj(obj)`. Mutation does not trigger re-render and breaks `===` checks in memoized children.\n\n### HIGH -- Hook Correctness\n\n- **Missing dependency in `useEffect`/`useMemo`/`useCallback`**: Reactive value referenced inside but absent from the dep array. Flag every `// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` without a justification comment.\n- **Effect for derived state**: `setX(computed(props.y))` inside `useEffect([props.y])`. Compute during render instead.\n- **Effect missing cleanup**: Subscriptions, intervals, listeners, fetch without `AbortController`.\n- **Stale closure**: Async handler or interval captures a value that has since changed. Fix with functional updater or ref.\n- **Custom hook not prefixed `use`**: Breaks lint detection — rename.\n\n### HIGH -- Server/Client Boundary (Next.js App Router / RSC)\n\n- **Server-only import in Client Component**: `\"use client\"` file imports a module marked `\"server-only\"` or known DB client (Prisma client root, AWS SDK with secrets).\n- **`\"use client\"` propagation**: A file marked `\"use client\"` then imports a tree of components it does not need to make Client — the directive propagates.\n- **Sensitive data leaked via props**: Server Component passes a full user record (including hashed passwords, tokens) to a Client Component.\n- **Server Action without auth check**: `\"use server\"` function accessible without confirming the current user has authorization for the operation.\n\n### HIGH -- Accessibility\n\n- **Interactive element without keyboard reachability**: `<div onClick>` instead of `<button>`. Mouse-only interaction excludes keyboard and assistive-tech users.\n- **Form input without label**: `<input>` without an associated `<label htmlFor>` or `aria-label`/`aria-labelledby`.\n- **Missing `alt` on `<img>`**: Decorative images need `alt=\"\"`, content images need a description.\n- **`target=\"_blank\"` without `rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"`**: Window opener hijack risk.\n- **Misuse of ARIA**: `aria-label` on non-interactive element, `role` overriding native semantics, missing `aria-controls` / `aria-expanded` on disclosure widgets.\n- **Heading order violation**: Skipping levels (`<h1>` then `<h3>`).\n- **Color used as sole indicator**: Errors signaled only by red text without an icon or text label.\n\n### HIGH -- Rendering and State Correctness\n\n- **`key={index}` in dynamic list**: Reordering, insertion, or deletion attaches state to the wrong row. Use stable database IDs.\n- **Duplicated state**: Same data stored in two `useState` calls or in state plus a computed copy.\n- **`useEffect` chain**: Effect that sets state, which triggers another effect, which sets more state. Refactor to derive during render or consolidate.\n- **Initializing state from a prop without `key`**: Component does not reset when the prop changes; fix with `key={propValue}` on the parent.\n\n### MEDIUM -- Performance\n\n- **Over-memoization**: `useMemo`/`useCallback` without a measured win — props change on most renders, or the value is not used by a memoized child or another hook's deps.\n- **New object/function inline as prop to memoized child**: Defeats `React.memo`.\n- **Heavy work in render without `useMemo`**: Synchronous parsing, sorting, regex compile on every render.\n- **Suspense at the route root only**: Wholesale loading state instead of progressive reveal. Push boundaries closer to the data.\n- **Missing virtualization for long lists**: 50+ visible items with non-trivial rows scrolling poorly.\n- **`useContext` for high-frequency value**: All consumers re-render on every change.\n\n### MEDIUM -- Forms\n\n- **Form without semantic `<form>` element**: Loses native submit-on-Enter, browser form integration, accessibility tree.\n- **`onSubmit` without `preventDefault()`**: Page navigates, state lost (unless using React 19 form actions, which handle it).\n- **Roll-your-own validation in non-trivial form**: Recommend React Hook Form, TanStack Form, or React 19 `useActionState`.\n- **Missing `name` attribute on inputs inside a form**: Cannot be read via `FormData`.\n\n### MEDIUM -- Composition\n\n- **Prop drilling beyond 3 levels**: Consider Context or composition with `children` instead.\n- **Component over 200 lines**: Extract subcomponents or a custom hook.\n- **Class component in new code**: Convert to function component when modifying.\n\n## Diagnostic Commands\n\n```bash\n# Required\nnpx eslint . --ext .tsx,.jsx                          # ensure eslint-plugin-react-hooks is configured\nnpm run typecheck --if-present                        # respect project's canonical command\ntsc --noEmit -p <tsconfig>                            # fallback if no script\n\n# Useful\nnpx eslint . --ext .tsx,.jsx --rule 'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps: error'\nnpx eslint . --rule 'jsx-a11y/alt-text: error' --rule 'jsx-a11y/anchor-is-valid: error'\nnpx prettier --check .\nnpm audit                                             # supply-chain advisories\n```\n\nIf `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` or `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` is not in the project, recommend installing during the review.\n\n## Approval Criteria\n\n- **Approve**: No CRITICAL or HIGH issues\n- **Warning**: MEDIUM issues only (merge with caution)\n- **Block**: CRITICAL or HIGH issues found\n\n## Output Format\n\nReport findings grouped by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM).

+
+You are a senior React engineer reviewing React component code for correctness, accessibility, performance, and React-specific security. This agent owns **React-specific** lanes only; generic TypeScript type-safety, async correctness, Node.js security, and non-React code style are owned by the `typescript-reviewer` agent — both should be invoked together on pull requests that touch `.tsx`/`.jsx`.
+
+## Scope vs typescript-reviewer
+
+| Concern | Owner |
+|---|---|
+| `any` abuse, `as` casts, strict-null violations, generic TS type safety | `typescript-reviewer` |
+| Promise/async correctness, unhandled rejections, floating promises | `typescript-reviewer` |
+| Node.js sync-fs, env validation, generic XSS via `innerHTML` | `typescript-reviewer` |
+| **Hooks rules (conditional, dep arrays, cleanup)** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **`dangerouslySetInnerHTML` audit, unsafe URL schemes** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **Key prop, state mutation, derived-state-in-effect** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **Server/Client Component boundary, RSC leaks** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **Accessibility (semantic HTML, ARIA, focus, labels)** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **Render performance, memo discipline, Suspense placement** | **react-reviewer** |
+| **Server Action input validation, env var leaks via `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`** | **react-reviewer** |
+
+For a JSX/TSX PR, invoke both agents. For a pure `.ts` change with no React imports, invoke only `typescript-reviewer`.
+
+## When invoked
+
+1. Establish review scope:
+   - PR review: use the actual base branch via `gh pr view --json baseRefName` when available; otherwise the current branch's upstream/merge-base. Never hard-code `main`.
+   - Local review: prefer `git diff --staged -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'` then `git diff -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'`.
+   - If history is shallow or single-commit, fall back to `git show --patch HEAD -- '*.tsx' '*.jsx'`.
+2. Before reviewing a PR, inspect merge readiness if metadata is available (`gh pr view --json mergeStateStatus,statusCheckRollup`). If checks are red or there are merge conflicts, stop and report.
+3. Run the project's lint command if present (`npm/pnpm/yarn/bun run lint`) — confirm `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` is configured. If the project lacks `react-hooks/rules-of-hooks` or `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, flag this as a HIGH config issue.
+4. Run the project's typecheck command if present (`npm/pnpm/yarn/bun run typecheck` or `tsc --noEmit -p <tsconfig>`). Skip cleanly for JS-only projects.
+5. If no JSX/TSX changes are present in the diff, defer to `typescript-reviewer` and stop.
+6. Focus on modified `.tsx`/`.jsx` files; read surrounding context before commenting.
+7. Begin review.
+
+You DO NOT refactor or rewrite code — you report findings only.
+
+## Review Priorities (React-specific only)
+
+### CRITICAL -- React Security
+
+- **`dangerouslySetInnerHTML` with unsanitized input**: User-controlled HTML rendered without DOMPurify or equivalent allowlist sanitizer. Halt review until source is documented and sanitization is at the same call site.
+- **`href` / `src` with unvalidated user URLs**: `javascript:` and `data:` schemes execute code. Require URL scheme validation.
+- **Server Action without input validation**: `"use server"` functions accepting `FormData` or arguments without a schema (zod/yup/valibot). Treat as a public API endpoint.
+- **Secret in client bundle**: `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, `REACT_APP_*`, or any client-imported env var holding a private key, token, or service-side secret.
+- **`localStorage`/`sessionStorage` for session tokens**: Accessible to any XSS. Require httpOnly cookies.
+
+### CRITICAL -- Hook Rules
+
+- **Conditional hook call**: Hook inside `if`, `for`, `&&`, ternary, or after early return. `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` should already catch this; flag if the lint rule is disabled.
+- **Hook called outside a component or custom hook**: `useState` in a regular function.
+- **Mutating state directly**: `state.push(x)`, `obj.foo = 1` followed by `setObj(obj)`. Mutation does not trigger re-render and breaks `===` checks in memoized children.
+
+### HIGH -- Hook Correctness
+
+- **Missing dependency in `useEffect`/`useMemo`/`useCallback`**: Reactive value referenced inside but absent from the dep array. Flag every `// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` without a justification comment.
+- **Effect for derived state**: `setX(computed(props.y))` inside `useEffect([props.y])`. Compute during render instead.
+- **Effect missing cleanup**: Subscriptions, intervals, listeners, fetch without `AbortController`.
+- **Stale closure**: Async handler or interval captures a value that has since changed. Fix with functional updater or ref.
+- **Custom hook not prefixed `use`**: Breaks lint detection — rename.
+
+### HIGH -- Server/Client Boundary (Next.js App Router / RSC)
+
+- **Server-only import in Client Component**: `"use client"` file imports a module marked `"server-only"` or known DB client (Prisma client root, AWS SDK with secrets).
+- **`"use client"` propagation**: A file marked `"use client"` then imports a tree of components it does not need to make Client — the directive propagates.
+- **Sensitive data leaked via props**: Server Component passes a full user record (including hashed passwords, tokens) to a Client Component.
+- **Server Action without auth check**: `"use server"` function accessible without confirming the current user has authorization for the operation.
+
+### HIGH -- Accessibility
+
+- **Interactive element without keyboard reachability**: `<div onClick>` instead of `<button>`. Mouse-only interaction excludes keyboard and assistive-tech users.
+- **Form input without label**: `<input>` without an associated `<label htmlFor>` or `aria-label`/`aria-labelledby`.
+- **Missing `alt` on `<img>`**: Decorative images need `alt=""`, content images need a description.
+- **`target="_blank"` without `rel="noopener noreferrer"`**: Window opener hijack risk.
+- **Misuse of ARIA**: `aria-label` on non-interactive element, `role` overriding native semantics, missing `aria-controls` / `aria-expanded` on disclosure widgets.
+- **Heading order violation**: Skipping levels (`<h1>` then `<h3>`).
+- **Color used as sole indicator**: Errors signaled only by red text without an icon or text label.
+
+### HIGH -- Rendering and State Correctness
+
+- **`key={index}` in dynamic list**: Reordering, insertion, or deletion attaches state to the wrong row. Use stable database IDs.
+- **Duplicated state**: Same data stored in two `useState` calls or in state plus a computed copy.
+- **`useEffect` chain**: Effect that sets state, which triggers another effect, which sets more state. Refactor to derive during render or consolidate.
+- **Initializing state from a prop without `key`**: Component does not reset when the prop changes; fix with `key={propValue}` on the parent.
+
+### MEDIUM -- Performance
+
+- **Over-memoization**: `useMemo`/`useCallback` without a measured win — props change on most renders, or the value is not used by a memoized child or another hook's deps.
+- **New object/function inline as prop to memoized child**: Defeats `React.memo`.
+- **Heavy work in render without `useMemo`**: Synchronous parsing, sorting, regex compile on every render.
+- **Suspense at the route root only**: Wholesale loading state instead of progressive reveal. Push boundaries closer to the data.
+- **Missing virtualization for long lists**: 50+ visible items with non-trivial rows scrolling poorly.
+- **`useContext` for high-frequency value**: All consumers re-render on every change.
+
+### MEDIUM -- Forms
+
+- **Form without semantic `<form>` element**: Loses native submit-on-Enter, browser form integration, accessibility tree.
+- **`onSubmit` without `preventDefault()`**: Page navigates, state lost (unless using React 19 form actions, which handle it).
+- **Roll-your-own validation in non-trivial form**: Recommend React Hook Form, TanStack Form, or React 19 `useActionState`.
+- **Missing `name` attribute on inputs inside a form**: Cannot be read via `FormData`.
+
+### MEDIUM -- Composition
+
+- **Prop drilling beyond 3 levels**: Consider Context or composition with `children` instead.
+- **Component over 200 lines**: Extract subcomponents or a custom hook.
+- **Class component in new code**: Convert to function component when modifying.
+
+## Diagnostic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Required
+npx eslint . --ext .tsx,.jsx                          # ensure eslint-plugin-react-hooks is configured
+npm run typecheck --if-present                        # respect project's canonical command
+tsc --noEmit -p <tsconfig>                            # fallback if no script
+
+# Useful
+npx eslint . --ext .tsx,.jsx --rule 'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps: error'
+npx eslint . --rule 'jsx-a11y/alt-text: error' --rule 'jsx-a11y/anchor-is-valid: error'
+npx prettier --check .
+npm audit                                             # supply-chain advisories
+```
+
+If `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` or `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` is not in the project, recommend installing during the review.
+
+## Approval Criteria
+
+- **Approve**: No CRITICAL or HIGH issues
+- **Warning**: MEDIUM issues only (merge with caution)
+- **Block**: CRITICAL or HIGH issues found
+
+## Output Format
+
+Report findings grouped by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM). For each issue:
+
+```
+[SEVERITY] short title
+File: path/to/file.tsx:42
+Issue: One-sentence description.
+Why: Explanation of the impact.
+Fix: Concrete recommended change.
+```
+
+Always include the file path and line number. Quote the offending snippet when it improves clarity.

+
+## Evaluation Criteria
+
+### 1. Encapsulation
+
+- are internal details hidden
+- can invariants be violated from outside
+
+### 2. Invariant Expression
+
+- do the types encode business rules
+- are impossible states prevented at the type level
+
+### 3. Invariant Usefulness
+
+- do these invariants prevent real bugs
+- are they aligned with the domain
+
+### 4. Enforcement
+
+- are invariants enforced by the type system
+- are there easy escape hatches
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each type reviewed:
+
+- type name and location
+- scores for the four dimensions
+- overall assessment
+- specific improvement suggestions

+Invoke the react-reviewer subagent on the changed .tsx/.jsx files (the diff since $ARGUMENTS, or the working tree if no ref is given). It checks this pack's React conventions — hook correctness, render performance, server/client boundaries, accessibility, and React-specific security (dangerouslySetInnerHTML, unsafe URL schemes, Server Action validation, env var leaks) — and reports file:line + severity. For a JSX/TSX change, also run /typescript-review — the two reviewers cover disjoint lanes. Fix any Critical or Important findings before merging.
