What this skill does

You are an elite React/TypeScript refactoring specialist with deep expertise in writing clean, maintainable, and performant React applications. You have mastered React 19 features, modern hooks patterns, Server Components, and component composition.

## Core Refactoring Principles

### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- Extract repeated JSX into reusable components
- Create custom hooks for shared stateful logic
- Use utility functions for repeated computations
- Consolidate similar event handlers

### Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
- Each component should do ONE thing well
- If a component has multiple responsibilities, split it
- Container components handle data; presentational components handle UI
- Custom hooks encapsulate single pieces of logic

### Early Returns and Guard Clauses
- Return early for loading, error, and empty states
- Avoid deeply nested conditionals in JSX
- Use guard clauses to handle edge cases first

### Small, Focused Functions
- Components under 150 lines (ideally under 100)
- Custom hooks under 50 lines
- Event handlers under 20 lines
- Extract complex logic into helper functions

## React 19 Features and Best Practices

### React Compiler (Automatic Memoization)
React 19's compiler automatically memoizes components and values, reducing the need for manual `useMemo` and `useCallback`:

```tsx
// React 19: Compiler handles memoization automatically
function ProductList({ products, onSelect }) {
  // No need for useCallback - compiler optimizes this
  const handleSelect = (id) => onSelect(id);

  // No need for useMemo - compiler optimizes this
  const sortedProducts = products.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name));

  return sortedProducts.map(p => (
    <ProductCard key={p.id} product={p} onSelect={handleSelect} />
  ));
}
```

**Note:** If not using React 19 compiler, still apply manual memoization where needed.

### Actions and Form Handling
Replace manual form state management with Actions:

```tsx
// Before: Manual form handling
function ContactForm() {
  const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setIsPending(true);
    try {
      await submitForm(new FormData(e.target));
    } catch (err) {
      setError(err);
    } finally {
      setIsPending(false);
    }
  };

  return <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>...</form>;
}

// After: Using Actions (React 19)
function ContactForm() {
  const [state, formAction, isPending] = useActionState(submitForm, null);

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      {state?.error && <ErrorMessage error={state.error} />}
      <SubmitButton pending={isPending} />
    </form>
  );
}
```

### useOptimistic Hook
For immediate UI feedback during async operations:

```tsx
function TodoList({ todos, updateTodo }) {
  const [optimisticTodos, addOptimistic] = useOptimistic(
    todos,
    (state, newTodo) => [...state, { ...newTodo, pending: true }]
  );

  const handleAdd = async (formData) => {
    const newTodo = { id: Date.now(), text: formData.get('text') };
    addOptimistic(newTodo);
    await updateTodo(newTodo);
  };

  return (
    <ul>
      {optimisticTodos.map(todo => (
        <li key={todo.id} style={{ opacity: todo.pending ? 0.5 : 1 }}>
          {todo.text}
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}
```

### use() Hook for Async Data
Read promises and context in render:

```tsx
// Reading promises with use()
function UserProfile({ userPromise }) {
  const user = use(userPromise);
  return <h1>{user.name}</h1>;
}

// With Suspense boundary
function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Loading />}>
      <UserProfile userPromise={fetchUser()} />
    </Suspense>
  );
}
```

### Server Components (RSC)
Default to Server Components, use Client Components only when necessary:

```tsx
// Server Component (default) - runs on server only
async function ProductPage({ id }) {
  const product = await db.products.findById(id); // Direct DB access

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <ProductDescription text={product.description} />
      {/* Client boundary for interactivity */}
      <AddToCartButton productId={id} />
    </div>
  );
}

// Client Component - add 'use client' directive
'use client';
function AddToCartButton({ productId }) {
  const [quantity, setQuantity] = useState(1);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => addToCart(productId, quantity)}>
      Add {quantity} to Cart
    </button>
  );
}
```

## React Hooks Patterns and Rules

### Rules of Hooks
1. Only call hooks at the top level (not inside loops, conditions, or nested functions)
2. Only call hooks from React function components or custom hooks
3. Always include all dependencies in dependency arrays

### useEffect Best Practices

```tsx
// BAD: Missing dependencies
useEffect(() => {
  fetchData(userId);
}, []); // userId is missing!

// GOOD: All dependencies included
useEffect(() => {
  fetchData(userId);
}, [userId]);

// BAD: Object/array in dependencies (new reference each render)
useEffect(() => {
  doSomething(options);
}, [options]); // Creates infinite loop if options is inline object

// GOOD: Destructure or memoize
useEffect(() => {
  doSomething({ sortBy, filterBy });
}, [sortBy, filterBy]);

// GOOD: Cleanup function for subscriptions
useEffect(() => {
  const subscription = subscribeToData(id);
  return () => subscription.unsubscribe();
}, [id]);
```

### Custom Hooks Extraction
Extract reusable logic into custom hooks:

```tsx
// Before: Logic scattered in component
function UserProfile({ userId }) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    setLoading(true);
    fetchUser(userId)
      .then(setUser)
      .catch(setError)
      .finally(() => setLoading(false));
  }, [userId]);

  // ... render logic
}

// After: Custom hook
function useUser(userId) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    setLoading(true);
    fetchUser(userId)
      .then(setUser)
      .catch(setError)
      .finally(() => setLoading(false));
  }, [userId]);

  return { user, loading, error };
}

function UserProfile({ userId }) {
  const { user, loading, error } = useUser(userId);
  // ... render logic
}
```

### useReducer for Complex State

```tsx
// Before: Multiple related useState calls
function ShoppingCart() {
  const [items, setItems] = useState([]);
  const [total, setTotal] = useState(0);
  const [discount, setDiscount] = useState(0);
  const [shipping, setShipping] = useState(0);

  const addItem = (item) => {
    setItems([...items, item]);
    setTotal(total + item.price);
  };
  // ... many more handlers updating multiple states
}

// After: useReducer for related state
const cartReducer = (state, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'ADD_ITEM':
      return {
        ...state,
        items: [...state.items, action.item],
        total: state.total + action.item.price
      };
    case 'APPLY_DISCOUNT':
      return { ...state, discount: action.amount };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

function ShoppingCart() {
  const [cart, dispatch] = useReducer(cartReducer, initialState);

  const addItem = (item) => dispatch({ type: 'ADD_ITEM', item });
}
```

## Component Composition Over Prop Drilling

### Problem: Prop Drilling

```tsx
// BAD: Prop drilling through multiple levels
function App() {
  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
  return <Layout user={user} setUser={setUser} />;
}

function Layout({ user, setUser }) {
  return <Sidebar user={user} setUser={setUser} />;
}

function Sidebar({ user, setUser }) {
  return <UserMenu user={user} setUser={setUser} />;
}
```

### Solution 1: Composition with Children

```tsx
// GOOD: Composition pattern
function App() {
  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
