Summary

  • Review or refactor React / Next.js code for performance and reliability using a prioritized rule library (waterfalls, bundle size, server/client data fetching, re-renders, rendering).
  • Use when writing React components, Next.js pages (App Router), optimizing bundle size, improving performance, or doing a React/Next.js performance review.

SKILL.md

React Best Practices Review (Performance-First)

Use this skill to turn “React feels slow / Next.js page is heavy / too many requests” into a repeatable, prioritized review.

This skill is intentionally built like a rule library:

  • SKILL.md: how to review + how to search rules
  • references/rules/*: one rule per file (taggable, sortable, easy to evolve)

When to apply

Use when:

  • Building or refactoring React components
  • Working in Next.js (App Router) on RSC boundaries, Server Actions, data fetching
  • Reviewing PRs for performance regressions
  • Bundle size increases / slow HMR / cold start issues
  • UI jank / unnecessary re-renders / hydration issues

Review method (prioritized)

  1. Start with CRITICAL rules first (waterfalls + bundle).
  2. Only then go to HIGH (server patterns + serialization).
  3. Then MEDIUM (re-render + rendering).
  4. Then LOW-MEDIUM micro-optimizations (JS hot paths).

Section ordering lives in: [references/rules/sections.md](references/rules/sections.md)

How to use the rules efficiently

Search by keyword

rg -n "waterfall|Promise\\.all|defer await" references/rules
rg -n "barrel|optimizePackageImports|dynamic" references/rules
rg -n "cache\\(|React\\.cache|serialization|RSC" references/rules
rg -n "memo\\(|useMemo|useCallback|dependencies" references/rules

Search by tag

Each rule has tags: in YAML frontmatter.

rg -n "tags:.*bundle" references/rules
rg -n "tags:.*rerender" references/rules

Output format (recommended)

When reviewing code, output:

  1. Summary (1 paragraph)
  2. Critical fixes (must-fix, biggest wins)
  3. High impact (should-fix)
  4. Medium / Low (nice-to-have)

For each issue include:

  • Rule name (and file under references/rules/)
  • Location (path:line)
  • Why it matters (latency / bundle / CPU / UX)
  • Minimal fix direction (prefer small diffs)
