React Code Review
Overview
This skill provides structured, comprehensive code review for React applications. It evaluates code against React 19 best practices, component architecture patterns, hook usage, accessibility standards, and production-readiness criteria. The review produces actionable findings categorized by severity (Critical, Warning, Suggestion) with concrete code examples for improvements.
This skill delegates to the react-software-architect-review agent for deep architectural analysis when invoked through the agent system.
When to Use
Reviewing React components, hooks, and pages before merging
Validating component composition and reusability patterns
Validating TypeScript typing for props, state, and events
Checking Tailwind CSS and styling patterns
After implementing new React features or refactoring component architecture
Instructions
Identify Scope: Determine which React components and hooks are under review. Use glob to discover .tsx/.jsx files and grep to identify component definitions, hook usage, and context providers.
Analyze Component Architecture: Verify proper component composition — check for single responsibility, appropriate size, and reusability. Look for components that are too large (>200 lines), have too many props (>7), or mix concerns.
Review Hook Usage: Validate proper hook usage — check dependency arrays in useEffect/useMemo/useCallback, verify cleanup functions in useEffect, and identify unnecessary re-renders caused by missing or incorrect memoization.
Evaluate State Management: Assess where state lives — check for proper colocation, unnecessary lifting, and appropriate use of Context vs external stores. Verify that server state uses TanStack Query, SWR, or similar libraries rather than manual useEffect + useState patterns.
Check Accessibility: Review semantic HTML usage, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader compatibility. Verify that interactive elements are accessible and form inputs have proper labels.
Assess Performance: Look for unnecessary re-renders, missing React.memo on expensive components, improper use of useCallback/useMemo, missing code splitting, and large bundle imports.
Review TypeScript Integration: Check prop type definitions, event handler typing, generic component patterns, and proper use of utility types. Verify that any is not used where specific types are possible.
Produce Review Report: Generate a structured report with severity-classified findings (Critical, Warning, Suggestion), positive observations, and prioritized recommendations with code examples.
