Installation guide
git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/skills/react-best-practices ~/.claude/skills/How to use it
Ask to review/refactor React or Next.js for performance; skill prioritizes waterfalls and bundle size over premature memoization.
**Suggested workflow** 1. Install and enable the skill. 2. Open the target project (or Claude.ai chat) with enough product context. 3. Invoke with a clear goal, constraints, and success criteria. 4. Review the first output against your standards; refine with follow-ups. 5. Save winning prompts / outputs into your team playbook.
If Claude does not auto-select it, mention the skill by name: “Use the Vercel React Best Practices skill…”
Example prompts
- “Use the Vercel React Best Practices skill for this task: Eliminate data-fetching waterfalls”
- “Walk me through how Vercel React Best Practices would approach this step by step, then execute.”
- “Review my current draft/plan and improve it using Vercel React Best Practices. Call out assumptions.”
- “Produce a checklist I can reuse whenever we run Vercel React Best Practices on similar work.”
Use cases and examples
- Eliminate data-fetching waterfalls
- Cut barrel-import bundle bloat
- Fix unnecessary re-renders
- Optimize a slow Next.js page
- First-week trial of Vercel React Best Practices on a real engineering workflow
- Document a reusable prompt template for Vercel React Best Practices for your team
Prerequisites
- Claude Code, Claude.ai (Skills enabled), or an Agent Skills–compatible host
- Network access if the skill fetches guidelines or calls external tools
- Project or brand context (CLAUDE.md / product notes) for better outputs
- Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md and scripts first
Tips
- Keep descriptions/triggers tight so Vercel React Best Practices fires only when relevant (avoids context tax).
- Prefer one sharp job over a mega-skill that tries to do everything.
- Pair with verification (tests, review, screenshots) before shipping outputs.
- Re-audit installed skills monthly — unused skills still cost context every turn.
