What it does

Programming In React is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. Use when writing or modifying React components, planning React features, or working with .jsx/.tsx files - provides modern React patterns with TypeScript, hooks usage, component composition, and common pitfalls to avoid

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `react-testing.md` and `useEffect-deep-dive.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering React components. It works with React and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.

When your agent uses it

  • Modifying React components
  • Planning React features
  • Working with .jsx/.tsx files - provides modern React patterns with TypeScript
  • Component composition

Example prompts

  • “/programming-in-react”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Local component state? � useState
  2. Multiple related state updates? � useReducer
  3. Shared across components? � Context API or custom hook
  4. Need external library? � Use codebase-investigator to find existing patterns, or internet-researcher to evaluate options (Zustand, Redux…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Programming In React loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 586 words (~1,469 tokens).

“Modern React development using functional components, hooks, and TypeScript. This skill guides you through React workflows from component creation to testing.”
