SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes React components to enforce five core principles: SRP, clean props interfaces, composition over inheritance, reusability, and thoughtful use of custom hooks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SRP checks: Verifies each component has a single responsibility and separates UI from business logic.
  • Props design: Evaluates prop interfaces, drilling depth, and default prop usage.
  • Composition & Reuse: Recommends patterns like compound components and shared UI primitives.
  • Custom Hooks: Suggests extracting business logic into reusable hooks.

Quick Start

Run a component design review on target components to generate a prioritized improvement list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review React components for design issues?

Component design review analyzes React components against five core principles: Single Responsibility Principle, props interface design, composition patterns, reusability, and custom hooks usage. Run the review on target components to generate a prioritized list of improvements categorized by severity.

What does Single Responsibility Principle mean for React components?

SRP for React components means each component should have one reason to change—either UI rendering or business logic, not both. This Skill checks that components separate concerns, keeping presentational logic distinct from state management and data fetching.

How can I improve my React component's props interface?

Props design review evaluates drilling depth, default prop usage, and interface clarity. The Skill identifies excessive prop drilling, suggests composition patterns like compound components, and recommends extracting related props into objects to simplify component contracts.

When should I extract logic into custom React hooks?

Custom hooks should encapsulate reusable business logic, state management, or side effects that multiple components share. This Skill detects logic that repeats across components and suggests hook extraction, reducing duplication and improving testability.

Can this tool work with existing React projects?

Yes, this Skill applies to React projects and component trees of any size. It performs automated checks using read, grep, and glob operations to analyze your components without requiring modifications to your codebase or build setup.

What's the difference between composition and inheritance in React components?

Composition means building components by combining smaller, focused components; inheritance couples components tightly through class hierarchies. This Skill recommends composition patterns like compound components and render props over inheritance for better flexibility and reuse.
