React 18.3.1 and React 19 dependency compatibility matrix. An agent skill from github/awesome-copilot.

What it does

React18 Dep Compatibility is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. React 18.3.1 and React 19 dependency compatibility matrix.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/apollo-details.md` and `references/router-migration.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA. It works with React, Jest and Testing Library. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing & QA work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/react18-dep-compatibility”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

React18 Dep Compatibility loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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.

React 18.3.1 and React 19 dependency compatibility matrix.

React Dependency Compatibility Matrix

Minimum versions required for React 18.3.1 and React 19 compatibility.

Use this skill whenever checking whether a dependency supports a target React version, resolving peer dependency conflicts, deciding whether to upgrade or use legacy-peer-deps, or assessing the risk of a react-router v5 to v6 migration.

Review this matrix before running npm install during a React upgrade and before accepting an npm dependency conflict resolution, especially where concurrent mode compatibility may be affected.

Core Upgrade Targets

PackageReact 17 (current)React 18.3.1 (min)React 19 (min)Notes
react17.x18.3.119.0.0Pin exactly to 18.3.1 for the R18 orchestra
react-dom17.x18.3.119.0.0Must match react version exactly

Testing Libraries

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
@testing-library/react14.0.016.0.0RTL 13 uses ReactDOM.render internally - broken in R18
@testing-library/jest-dom6.0.06.0.0v5 works but v6 has React 18 matcher updates
@testing-library/user-event14.0.014.0.0v13 is sync, v14 is async - API change required
jest27.x27.xjest 27+ with jsdom 16+ for React 18
jest-environment-jsdom27.x27.xMust match jest version

Apollo Client

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
@apollo/client3.8.03.11.03.8 adds useSyncExternalStore for concurrent mode
graphql15.x16.xApollo 3.8+ peer requires graphql 15 or 16

Read references/apollo-details.md for concurrent mode issues and MockedProvider changes.

Emotion

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
@emotion/react11.10.011.13.011.10 adds React 18 concurrent mode support
@emotion/styled11.10.011.13.0Must match @emotion/react version
@emotion/cache11.10.011.13.0If used directly

React Router

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
react-router-domv6.0.0v6.8.0v5 → v6 is a breaking migration - see details below
react-router-dom v55.3.4 (workaround)❌ Not supportedSee legacy peer deps note

react-router v5 → v6 is a SEPARATE migration sprint. Read references/router-migration.md.

Redux

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
react-redux8.0.09.0.0v7 works on R18 legacy root only - breaks on concurrent mode
redux4.x5.xRedux itself is framework-agnostic - react-redux version matters
@reduxjs/toolkit1.9.02.0.0RTK 1.9 tested against React 18

Other Common Packages

PackageReact 18 MinReact 19 MinNotes
react-query / @tanstack/react-query4.0.05.0.0v3 doesn't support concurrent mode
react-hook-form7.0.07.43.0v6 has concurrent mode issues
formik2.2.92.4.0v2.2.9 patched for React 18
react-select5.0.05.8.0v4 has peer dep conflicts with R18
react-datepicker4.8.06.0.0v4.8+ added React 18 support
react-dnd16.0.016.0.0v15 and below have R18 concurrent mode issues
prop-typesanyanyStandalone - unaffected by React version

Conflict Resolution Decision Tree

npm ls shows peer conflict for package X
         │
         ▼
Does package X have a version that supports React 18?
  YES → npm install X@[min-compatible-version]
  NO  ↓
         │
Is the package critical to the app?
  YES → check GitHub issues for React 18 branch/fork
      → check if maintainer has a PR open
      → last resort: --legacy-peer-deps (document why)
  NO  → consider removing the package

--legacy-peer-deps Rules

Only use --legacy-peer-deps when:

  • The package has no React 18 compatible release
  • The package is actively maintained (not abandoned)
  • The conflict is only a peer dep declaration mismatch (not actual API incompatibility)

Document every --legacy-peer-deps usage in a comment at the top of package.json or in a MIGRATION.md file explaining why it was necessary.
