What it does

R3f Best Practices is an agent skill from zebbern/claude-code-guide. React Three Fiber (R3F) and Poimandres ecosystem best practices. Use when writing, reviewing, or optimizing R3F code. Triggers on tasks involving @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei, zustand, @react-three/postprocessing, @react-three/rapier, or leva.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `rules/_sections.md`, `rules/drei-use-gltf.md` and `rules/frame-delta-time.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering State management and 3D graphics and WebGL. It works with React and Zustand. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Guide - Setup, Commands, workflows, agents, skills & tips-n-tricks from beginner to power user! The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ff9fbb. 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 javascript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- utsubo.com
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

R3f Best Practices loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2k

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.

Critical Patterns

NEVER setState in useFrame

jsx

// BAD - 60 re-renders per second!
function BadComponent() {
  const [position, setPosition] = useState(0);
  useFrame(() => {
    setPosition(p => p + 0.01); // NEVER DO THIS
  });
  return <mesh position-x={position} />;
}

// GOOD - Mutate refs directly
function GoodComponent() {
  const meshRef = useRef();
  useFrame(() => {
    meshRef.current.position.x += 0.01;
  });
  return <mesh ref={meshRef} />;
}

Zustand Selectors

jsx

// BAD - Re-renders on ANY store change
const store = useGameStore();

// GOOD - Only re-renders when playerX changes
const playerX = useGameStore(state => state.playerX);

// BETTER - No re-renders, direct mutation
useFrame(() => {
  const { value } = useStore.getState();
  ref.current.position.x = value;
});

Drei useGLTF

jsx

import { useGLTF } from '@react-three/drei';

function Model() {
  const { scene } = useGLTF('/model.glb');
  return <primitive object={scene} />;
}

// Preload for instant loading
useGLTF.preload('/model.glb');

Suspense Loading

jsx

function App() {
  return (
    <Canvas>
      <Suspense fallback={<Loader />}>
        <Model />
      </Suspense>
    </Canvas>
  );
}

r3f-perf Monitoring

jsx

import { Perf } from 'r3f-perf';

function App() {
  return (
    <Canvas>
      <Perf position="top-left" />
      <Scene />
    </Canvas>
  );
}

Toggle Visibility (Not Remounting)

jsx

// BAD: Remounting destroys and recreates
{showModel && <Model />}

// GOOD: Toggle visibility, keeps instance alive
<Model visible={showModel} />
