## What it 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.

## When to use it
- write a form with controlled inputs and a submit handler
- convert a class component to hooks
