react-development — Claude Code skill: React guidance from react.dev
A skill that feeds your coding agent React patterns: components, hooks, state and effects, taken from the official react.dev docs.
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill react-development -a claude-codeWhat react-development does
The skill gives the agent a reference for React work: functional components, JSX, props, useState, useEffect, updating objects and arrays in state, composing components. The examples come from react.dev, wired in through Context7. Ask for a form, a todo list or a data fetch and the agent works from those examples instead of guessing.
Install is one command with npx skills add. The file lands in the platform's skills folder: ~/.claude/skills/react-development/SKILL.md for Claude, .cursor/skills/react-development/SKILL.md for Cursor, .agents/skills/react-development/SKILL.md for Codex. GitHub Copilot uses gh skill install instead.
The coverage runs through hooks, state, context and performance, but the examples stop partway into data fetching with useEffect — for deeper topics the agent falls back on its own knowledge. This is React itself, not a framework on top of it. In a Next.js or Remix project expect it to cover the base layer only.
What it helps with
- write a form with controlled inputs and a submit handler
- convert a class component to hooks
- render a list with keys and a delete action
- pull repeated logic into a custom hook
- fix an effect that fires on every render
Example prompts for the agent
- Write a form component with name and email fields using useState
- Convert this class component to hooks
- Show me how to fetch user data in useEffect with error handling
