Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/awesome-claude-code-toolkit --skill react-patterns- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads react-patterns automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
React Patterns
use() Hook (React 19)
use() reads values from Promises and Context directly in render. Unlike other hooks, it can be called inside conditionals and loops.
import { use } from 'react';
function UserProfile({ userPromise }: { userPromise: Promise<User> }) {
const user = use(userPromise);
return <h1>{user.name}</h1>;
}
function ThemeButton() {
const theme = use(ThemeContext);
return <button style={{ background: theme.primary }}>Click</button>;
}
Wrap components that use use() with a Promise in a <Suspense> boundary.
Server Components
// app/users/page.tsx - Server Component (default, no directive needed)
import { UserList } from './UserList';
export default async function UsersPage() {
const users = await fetch('https://api.example.com/users', {
next: { revalidate: 60 },
}).then(r => r.json());
return <UserList users={users} />;
}
// app/users/UserList.tsx - Still a Server Component
export function UserList({ users }: { users: User[] }) {
return (
<ul>
{users.map(u => (
<li key={u.id}>
{u.name}
<DeleteButton userId={u.id} />
</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
Push 'use client' as deep as possible. Only leaves that need interactivity should be Client Components.
Server Actions
// app/actions.ts
'use server';
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
const title = formData.get('title') as string;
const body = formData.get('body') as string;
await db.insert(posts).values({ title, body });
revalidatePath('/posts');
redirect('/posts');
}
// app/posts/new/page.tsx
import { createPost } from '../actions';
export default function NewPostPage() {
return (
<form action={createPost}>
<input name="title" required />
<textarea name="body" required />
<button type="submit">Create</button>
</form>
);
}
useActionState (React 19)
'use client';
import { useActionState } from 'react';
import { createUser } from './actions';
function SignupForm() {
const [state, formAction, isPending] = useActionState(createUser, {
errors: {},
message: '',
});
return (
<form action={formAction}>
<input name="email" />
{state.errors.email && <p>{state.errors.email}</p>}
<button disabled={isPending}>
{isPending ? 'Creating...' : 'Sign Up'}
</button>
{state.message && <p>{state.message}</p>}
</form>
);
}
useOptimistic (React 19)
'use client';
import { useOptimistic } from 'react';
import { likePost } from './actions';
function LikeButton({ count, postId }: { count: number; postId: string }) {
const [optimisticCount, addOptimistic] = useOptimistic(count);
async function handleLike() {
addOptimistic(prev => prev + 1);
await likePost(postId);
}
return (
<form action={handleLike}>
<button type="submit">{optimisticCount} Likes</button>
</form>
);
}
Suspense Boundaries
import { Suspense } from 'react';
function Dashboard() {
return (
<div>
<Suspense fallback={<StatsSkeleton />}>
<StatsPanel />
</Suspense>
<div className="grid grid-cols-2">
<Suspense fallback={<ChartSkeleton />}>
<RevenueChart />
</Suspense>
<Suspense fallback={<ListSkeleton />}>
<RecentActivity />
</Suspense>
</div>
</div>
);
}
Place Suspense boundaries around independent data-fetching units. Avoid wrapping the entire page in a single boundary (defeats the purpose of streaming).
Error Boundaries
'use client';
import { Component, type ReactNode } from 'react';
class ErrorBoundary extends Component<
{ fallback: ReactNode; children: ReactNode },
{ hasError: boolean }
> {
state = { hasError: false };
static getDerivedStateFromError() {
return { hasError: true };
}
componentDidCatch(error: Error, info: React.ErrorInfo) {
reportError(error, info.componentStack);
}
render() {
if (this.state.hasError) return this.props.fallback;
return this.props.children;
}
}
Or use Next.js error.tsx convention for route-level error handling.
Custom Hooks
function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {
const [debounced, setDebounced] = useState(value);
useEffect(() => {
const timer = setTimeout(() => setDebounced(value), delay);
return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [value, delay]);
return debounced;
}
function useLocalStorage<T>(key: string, initial: T) {
const [value, setValue] = useState<T>(() => {
const stored = localStorage.getItem(key);
return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : initial;
});
useEffect(() => {
localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value));
}, [key, value]);
return [value, setValue] as const;
}
Rules for custom hooks:
- Prefix with
use - Extract when logic is shared between 2+ components
- Keep hooks focused on a single concern
- Return tuples
[value, setter]or objects{ data, error, loading }
Compound Components
function Tabs({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
const [active, setActive] = useState(0);
return (
<TabsContext value={{ active, setActive }}>
<div role="tablist">{children}</div>
</TabsContext>
);
}
Tabs.Tab = function Tab({ index, children }: { index: number; children: ReactNode }) {
const { active, setActive } = use(TabsContext);
return (
<button
role="tab"
aria-selected={active === index}
onClick={() => setActive(index)}
>
{children}
</button>
);
};
Tabs.Panel = function Panel({ index, children }: { index: number; children: ReactNode }) {
const { active } = use(TabsContext);
if (active !== index) return null;
return <div role="tabpanel">{children}</div>;
};
// Usage
<Tabs>
<Tabs.Tab index={0}>Profile</Tabs.Tab>
<Tabs.Tab index={1}>Settings</Tabs.Tab>
<Tabs.Panel index={0}><ProfileForm /></Tabs.Panel>
<Tabs.Panel index={1}><SettingsForm /></Tabs.Panel>
</Tabs>
Performance Rules
- Avoid creating objects/arrays in JSX props (causes re-renders)
- Use
React.memoonly after profiling confirms unnecessary re-renders - Prefer
useMemo/useCallbackfor expensive computations or stable references passed to memoized children - Use
keyto reset component state intentionally - Colocate state: keep state as close to where it is used as possible
- Avoid prop drilling beyond 2 levels; use Context or composition instead
