## What it does

The skill gives the agent a fixed order of work for a React component: decide whether it is a client or server component, define the props interface in TypeScript, implement it, then add accessibility attributes. Three templates ship with it — a client component, a server component, and a form built on React Hook Form with zod validation.

The client template walks through a button with style variants, sizes and a loading state. The server one renders a user list from a database query with a `limit` prop. The form template parses a zod schema and wires field errors to the inputs through `aria-invalid` and `aria-describedby`. A checklist covers semantic HTML, `aria-label` on icon-only buttons, roles, keyboard navigation and `aria-busy` for loading.

Installation runs through `npx skills add` with a platform flag, and the skill file lands at a path like `~/.claude/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md`. The form examples lean on `react-hook-form`, `@hookform/resolvers` and `zod` — if those packages are not in your project, you will have to rewrite them. Worth checking your dependencies before the agent starts pasting code.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill react-component-generator -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/react-component-generator/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill react-component-generator -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill react-component-generator -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install OneWave-AI/claude-skills react-component-generator
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill react-component-generator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills --path react-component-generator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/react-component-generator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill react-component-generator -a opencode
```

## When to use it
- generate a button with style variants and a loading state
- write a server component that lists users from a database
- build a login form with field validation
- tie form errors to inputs with aria attributes
- run an accessibility checklist while refactoring a component

## Example prompts
- Create a client Button component with primary, secondary and ghost variants
- Write a server UserList component with a limit prop
- Build a login form with React Hook Form and zod validation

# React Component Generator

## Instructions

When creating React components:

1. **Determine component type**: Client or Server component
2. **Define props interface** with TypeScript
3. **Implement with best practices**
4. **Add accessibility attributes**

## Templates

### Client Component

```tsx
'use client';

import { useState, useCallback } from 'react';
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';

interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'ghost';
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
  isLoading?: boolean;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

export function Button({
  variant = 'primary',
  size = 'md',
  isLoading = false,
  children,
  className,
  disabled,
  ...props
}: ButtonProps) {
  const baseStyles = 'inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md font-medium transition-colors focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2';

  const variants = {
    primary: 'bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700',
    secondary: 'bg-gray-200 text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-300',
    ghost: 'hover:bg-gray-100',
  };

  const sizes = {
    sm: 'h-8 px-3 text-sm',
    md: 'h-10 px-4',
    lg: 'h-12 px-6 text-lg',
  };

  return (
    <button
      className={cn(baseStyles, variants[variant], sizes[size], className)}
      disabled={disabled || isLoading}
      aria-busy={isLoading}
      {...props}
    >
      {isLoading ? <span className="animate-spin mr-2">⏳</span> : null}
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}
```

### Server Component

```tsx
import { db } from '@/lib/db';

interface UserListProps {
  limit?: number;
}

export async function UserList({ limit = 10 }: UserListProps) {
  const users = await db.user.findMany({ take: limit });

  if (users.length === 0) {
    return <p className="text-gray-500">No users found.</p>;
  }

  return (
    <ul role="list" className="divide-y">
      {users.map((user) => (
        <li key={user.id} className="py-4">
          <span>{user.name}</span>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}
```

### Form Component with React Hook Form

```tsx
'use client';

import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
````
