Overview

This skill captures a personal TypeScript/React code-style guide that expresses naming, formatting, TypeScript rules, React patterns, and review severity labels. It is concise and opinionated to drive consistent code authoring, reviews, and linting/formatting configuration across projects.

How this skill works

The skill provides explicit formatting rules (Prettier settings), ESLint expectations, naming conventions, and TypeScript/React patterns to follow. When invoked it returns the preferred rule, a brief rationale, and, for larger changes, a short summary with trade-offs and recommended next steps.

When to use it

• Writing new TypeScript or React components and hooks
• Reviewing pull requests or providing code review feedback
• Refactoring existing code to improve readability or correctness
• Setting up or validating linting and formatting configurations
• Designing component or state-management APIs

Best practices

• Prefer the simplest viable solution; prioritize readability over cleverness
• Lead with the answer, then provide concise explanation and trade-offs for bigger changes
• Use 2-space indent, single quotes, no semicolons, named exports, and auto-organized imports
• Use precise TypeScript types, strict mode, inline type imports, and exhaustive switch checks
• Favor derived/declarative state; avoid useEffect unless for side effects or external sync
• Keep components functional, co-locate related code, and include usage examples for new APIs

Example use cases

• Authoring a new React component: apply PascalCase, named export, Prettier and ESLint rules, and include a usage example
• Reviewing a PR: label findings as critical/major/minor, prefer minimal diffs, and suggest simpler alternatives when appropriate
• Refactoring state: move from useState to Context or Zustand only when patterns repeat or scale requires it
• Configuring tooling: enable prettier-plugin-organize-imports, prettier-plugin-tailwindcss, and consistent-type-imports in ESLint
• Implementing API handlers: use Zod for tRPC input validation and return type-safe responses
