React Doctor
Workflow
- Extract the target path from the user's message. If no path is provided, default to
packages/map.
- Derive the base filename by replacing
/ with - in the path (e.g. packages/map → packages-map).
- Create the output directory if it doesn't exist:
mkdir -p _react-doctor/output
- Run React Doctor and capture output in memory only — do not save the raw scan to disk:
if command -v react-doctor &> /dev/null; then
react-doctor <PATH>
else
npx react-doctor@latest <PATH>
fi
- Parse all issues from the output.
- Group issues by rule type (e.g.
react/jsx-key, react-hooks/exhaustive-deps). Within each rule group, sort by ease of fixing: quick fixes first, involved last.
- Write the checklist to
_react-doctor/output/<BASENAME>-review.md:
# React Doctor Review — packages/map
## react/jsx-key
> Missing `key` prop in list renders — mechanical fix, no logic impact
- [ ] `src/components/MapLayer.jsx:67` — Missing `key` prop in list render
- [ ] `src/components/Legend.jsx:34` — Missing `key` prop in list render
## react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
> Missing or incorrect hook dependency arrays — may require reasoning about effect scope
- [ ] `src/components/Map.jsx:42` — useEffect missing dependency: `data`
## react-hooks/rules-of-hooks
> Hook usage violations — touch component logic, review carefully
- [ ] `src/components/Legend.jsx:18` — Hook called conditionally
---
X issues across Y rule types.
- Tell the user the review file has been written to
_react-doctor/output/<BASENAME>-review.md.
- Tell the user to check off issues in the review file, then run the
react-doctor-fix skill to work through them one by one.
Do not suggest or provide any fixes at this stage. Do not create any other files.
