What problem does it solve? React and Next.js codebases often suffer from performance issues like data-fetching waterfalls, bloated bundles, unnecessary re-renders, and slow server responses. This Skill provides 70 prioritized, example-driven rules from Vercel Engineering so AI agents and developers consistently apply proven optimization patterns during code generation, review, and refactoring. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 70 Prioritized Rules Across 8 Categories: Covers eliminating waterfalls, bundle size optimization, server-side performance, client-side data fetching, re-render optimization, rendering performance, JavaScript performance, and advanced patterns, each tagged with an impact level from CRITICAL to LOW. - Incorrect vs. Correct Code Examples: Every rule includes concrete TypeScript/TSX examples showing the wrong pattern and the optimized fix, plus impact metrics like 2-10x improvements from parallelizing fetches. - Use Case: When refactoring a Next.js page that sequentially awaits user, posts, and comments data, apply the async-parallel rule to rewrite it with Promise.all(), cutting three network round trips down to one. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to review your React component or Next.js page for performance issues using the Vercel React best practices rules.
