SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? React components often accumulate boolean props like isThread or isEditing, creating exponential state combinations and unmaintainable conditional logic. This Skill provides structured patterns for replacing prop proliferation with composition, making component codebases easier to maintain and extend. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Compound Component Architecture: Structure complex components with shared context so consumers compose exactly the pieces they need without prop drilling. - State Lifting and Dependency Injection: Move state into provider components with generic state/actions/meta interfaces, letting the same UI work with local state, Zustand, or server sync. - Explicit Variants and React 19 APIs: Create self-documenting variant components instead of boolean modes, and apply React 19 changes like ref-as-prop and use() instead of useContext(). - Use Case: When refactoring a messaging Composer component overloaded with isThread, isEditing, and isDMThread flags, apply these rules to split it into ThreadComposer, EditComposer, and ChannelComposer variants sharing compound internals. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to refactor a React component that has too many boolean props using the composition patterns in this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor React components with too many boolean props?

Replace boolean props with composition by creating explicit variant components like ThreadComposer or EditComposer. Each variant composes shared compound component pieces, eliminating conditional logic and impossible states.

What are compound components in React?

Compound components are structured as a parent provider with subcomponents that access shared state via context instead of props. Consumers compose only the pieces they need, such as Composer.Frame, Composer.Input, and Composer.Submit.

When should I use children instead of render props in React?

Use children when composing static structure because they are more readable and compose naturally. Reserve render props for cases where the parent must pass data back to the child, such as rendering list items.

Does React 19 still require forwardRef?

No, React 19 makes ref a regular prop, so forwardRef is unnecessary. The use() hook also replaces useContext() and can be called conditionally, unlike useContext.

How do I share React state with components outside the main UI?

Lift state into a provider component so any descendant within the provider boundary can access state and actions via context. Components do not need to be visually nested inside the main UI, only inside the provider.
