What it does

React Performance is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Optimize React rendering, bundle size, and data flow with profiler-led decisions. Use when reducing re-renders, fixing waterfalls, or deciding whether memoization is warranted in React.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/REFERENCE.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Performance optimization and Web performance. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reducing re-renders
  • Fixing waterfalls
  • Deciding whether memoization is warranted in React

Example prompts

  • “/react-performance”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find the hotspot: profiler flamegraph, bundle analyzer, or waterfall trace.
  2. Pick the narrow fix: state placement, context split, transition, lazy load, or memoization.
  3. Retest after change: confirm the render count or blocking time actually improved.
  4. Keep slow work off the main path: workers for heavy compute, streaming for slow I/O.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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.

    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

React Performance loads about 577 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 233 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~577
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Optimize React rendering, bundle size, and data flow with profiler-led decisions. Use when reducing re-renders, fixing waterfalls, or deciding whether memoization is warranted in React.

React Performance

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Decision Map

  • Measure first: use React DevTools Profiler or app-level traces before adding memoization.
  • Waterfalls: parallelize independent reads with Promise.all and stream slow branches behind Suspense.
  • Rerenders: move state down, split context, and memoize only measured hot paths.
  • Bundle cost: lazy-load heavy islands, remove oversized dependencies, and avoid barrel files that fight tree-shaking.
  • Compiler-aware: if React Compiler is enabled, do not scatter useCallback/useMemo by reflex.

Recipe

  1. Find the hotspot: profiler flamegraph, bundle analyzer, or waterfall trace.
  2. Pick the narrow fix: state placement, context split, transition, lazy load, or memoization.
  3. Retest after change: confirm the render count or blocking time actually improved.
  4. Keep slow work off the main path: workers for heavy compute, streaming for slow I/O.

Verify

  • Independent reads are parallel, not sequential.
  • Effects are not driving derived state loops.
  • Memoization exists because of a measured hotspot or memoized child boundary.
  • Large lists are virtualized when needed.
  • Heavy client code is split behind lazy or route-level boundaries.

Anti-Patterns

  • No export *: Breaks tree-shaking.
  • No Sequential Await: Causes waterfalls.
  • No memo by superstition: profile before adding useMemo / useCallback.
  • No effect-driven derived state: compute during render unless syncing external systems.
  • No Heavy Libs: Avoid oversized dependencies when smaller choices exist.
