React Component Reviewer

React Component Reviewer

What this skill does

This skill directs the agent to review a specific React component or file against modern React best practices. It specifically checks for:

• Unnecessary re-renders (missing useMemo/useCallback)
• Accessibility violations (missing ARIA attributes, improper semantics)
• Stale closures in useEffect or event handlers
• Prop drilling that could be solved with Context or component composition
• Proper TypeScript typing

How to use

Claude Code / Antigravity

Copy this file to .agents/skills/react-code-reviewer/SKILL.md in your project. Then ask the agent: "Review components/MyComponent.tsx using the React Component Reviewer skill."

Cursor

Add this prompt to your .cursorrules file or save it as a custom prompt in the Cursor AI pane.

The Prompt / Instructions for the Agent

When asked to review a React component, follow these exact steps:

1. Analyze State & Renders: Look for state that could be derived. Identify any expensive calculations not wrapped in useMemo. Look for object/function definitions inside the render body that are passed as props to memoized children.
2. Analyze Hooks: Ensure useEffect dependencies are complete and correct. Check for race conditions in asynchronous effects.
3. Analyze Accessibility: Verify that interactive elements use ` or with proper href. Ensure images have alt` text. Check for keyboard navigability.
4. Format Output: Present your review in the following markdown format:

### 🚀 Performance
- [List findings here]

### ♿ Accessibility
- [List findings here]

### 🏗️ Architecture & Best Practices 
- [List findings here]

### 💡 Suggested Refactor
Provide the refactored code block here.

Example

Input to Agent: > "Please review the UserProfile.tsx component."

Output from Agent: > ### 🚀 Performance > - The formatDate function is defined inside the component and passed to a child, causing unnecessary re-renders. It should be moved outside the component or wrapped in useCallback. > > ### ♿ Accessibility > - The "Save" div acts as a button but lacks role="button" and tabIndex={0}. It should be a `` element. > > (...continues with suggested refactor)
