## What it does

This skill covers component boundaries, reusable hooks, and where state belongs, from a component’s own `useState` to Context or an app-wide store. It also addresses React 19 hooks such as `useActionState` and `useOptimistic`, along with TypeScript prop and event-handler types.

For slow renders, the guidance is to inspect performance with DevTools and locate the bottleneck before changing code. Then choose a targeted measure, such as virtualizing a large list or using `useMemo` for expensive calculations. That means memoization is not treated as a default fix. Error boundaries and testing levels are covered too.

Install it with `npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill development/react-patterns`. The listed tools are `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Glob`, and `Grep`.

## When to use it
- split a large component into focused pieces
- choose where shared state should live
- extract repeated logic into a custom hook
- locate the cause of slow renders before optimizing
- type component props and event handlers in TypeScript

## Example prompts
- Review this large React component and suggest a clearer component and state structure.
- Find repeated logic here that should become a custom hook.
- Help me locate the bottleneck in this slow list and choose a suitable fix.
