Write React components with minimal state, proper memoization, and type-safe patterns. Use when creating components, managing state, or optimizing renders.

What this skill does


# React Patterns

Core React patterns for component design, state management, and optimization.

## State Philosophy

Avoid state variables. Prefer derived values and props. Scope state to the smallest subtree that needs it. Use discriminated unions for complex state.

See [state-management.md](references/state-management.md) for:

- Derived values over state
- Component boundaries for state scoping
- Context API patterns
- Zustand for complex state
- State machines over multiple useState

## Memoization

Required for any O(n) operation. Memoize atomically to minimize dependency arrays. Use Loader/Inner pattern to narrow types before useMemo.

See [memoization.md](references/memoization.md) for:

- When to useMemo
- Atomic memoization
- useCallback for handlers
- Loader/Inner pattern for type narrowing

## Conditional Logic

Use affirmative logic, explicit conditionals, and ternaries over `&&`. Early returns for guard clauses.

See [conditional-logic.md](references/conditional-logic.md) for:

- Affirmative logic
- Explicit conditionals
- Conditional rendering
- Type narrowing with conditionals
- Early returns

generating-lwc-components

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

document-processor-api

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Covers useMutationState, simplified optimistic updates, throwOnError, network mode (offline/PWA), and infiniteQueryOptions. Use when setting up data fetching, fixing v4→v5 migration errors (object syntax, gcTime, isPending, keepPreviousData), or debugging SSR/hydration issues with streaming server components.

Included

Next.js performance optimization and best practices. Use when writing Next.js code (App Router or Pages Router); implementing Server Components, Server Actions, or API routes; optimizing RSC serialization, data fetching, or server-side rendering; reviewing Next.js code for performance issues; fixing authentication in Server Actions; or implementing Suspense boundaries, parallel data fetching, or request deduplication.
