react-performance
Optimize React rendering, bundle size, and data fetching performance. Use when optimizing React rendering performance, reducing re-renders, or improving bundle size.
What this skill does
# React Performance
## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**
## Eliminate Data Waterfalls (P0)
- **Parallel Data**: Use **`Promise.all([getUser(), getProducts(), ...])`** for independent fetches. Avoid **sequential awaits** (Request Waterfalls).
- **Preload**: Start fetches before render (in event handlers or **route loaders**).
- **Suspense**: Use **Suspense boundaries** to stream partial content and show partial content early.
See [implementation examples](references/REFERENCE.md#parallel-fetch-with-suspense) for parallel fetch with Suspense boundary and lazy loading patterns.
## Reduce Bundle Size (P0)
- **No Barrel Files**: **Avoid barrel files** (importing from index.ts); import directly from component files to improve tree-shaking.
- **Lazy Load**: Use **`React.lazy`** or **`next/dynamic`** for heavy components like **Charts**, **Modals**, or large libraries.
- **Dependency Reduction**: **Replace moment with dayjs** or **lodash with native/radash** to drop bytes. Use **`source-map-explorer`** or **`bundle-visualizer`** to find bloat.
## Minimize Re-renders (P1)
- **Isolation**: Move state as close to its usage as possible. Isolate heavy UI updates.
- **List Performance**: Use **`react-window`** or **`react-virtual`** for **virtualization** of lists with 500+ items. Wrap list items in **`React.memo`**.
- **Context Splitting**: **Split Context** into `State` and `Dispatch` objects. This prevents all consumers from re-rendering when only setter needed.
- **Stability**: Use **`useMemo` for derived list data** and passing stable object/array references to children.
- **Content Visibility**: `content-visibility: auto` for off-screen CSS content.
- **Static Hoisting**: Extract static objects/JSX outside component scope.
- **Transitions**: `startTransition` for non-urgent UI updates.
## Parallelize Computation (P1)
- **Web Workers**: Move heavy computation (Encryption, Image processing, Large Data Sorting) off main thread using `Comlink` or `Worker`.
## Optimize Server Components (RSC) (P1)
- **Caching**: `React.cache` for per-request deduplication.
- **Serialization**: Minimize props passing to Client Components (only IDs/primitives).
## Anti-Patterns
- **No `export *`**: Breaks tree-shaking.
- **No Sequential Await**: Causes waterfalls.
- **No Inline Objects**: `style={{}}` breaks strict equality checks (if memoized).
- **No Heavy Libs**: Avoid moment/lodash (use dayjs/radash).

generating-lwc-components
IncludedLightning 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
IncludedManage 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
IncludedProcess 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
IncludedManage 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.

IncludedNext.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.
