Why this score

This repo hosts 11 subagents, so its 104 stars are split between them (about 9 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 59/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

## React 19+ Patterns

### Server Components

```tsx
// app/users/page.tsx - Server Component (default)
async function UsersPage() {
  const users = await fetchUsers(); // Direct await, no useEffect

  return (
    <div>
      {users.map((user) => (
        <UserCard key={user.id} user={user} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Client Components

```tsx
"use client";

import { useState, useCallback } from "react";

export function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  const increment = useCallback(() => {
    setCount((c) => c + 1);
  }, []);

  return <button onClick={increment}>Count: {count}</button>;
}
```

### Custom Hooks

```tsx
function useLocalStorage<T>(key: string, initialValue: T) {
  const [storedValue, setStoredValue] = useState<T>(() => {
    if (typeof window === "undefined") return initialValue;
    try {
      const item = window.localStorage.getItem(key);
      return item ? JSON.parse(item) : initialValue;
    } catch {
      return initialValue;
    }
  });

  const setValue = useCallback(
    (value: T | ((val: T) => T)) => {
      setStoredValue((prev) => {
        const valueToStore = value instanceof Function ? value(prev) : value;
        window.localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(valueToStore));
        return valueToStore;
      });
    },
    [key],
  );

  return [storedValue, setValue] as const;
}
```

## State Management

### Zustand

```tsx
import { create } from "zustand";
import { persist } from "zustand/middleware";

interface Store {
  count: number;
  increment: () => void;
  reset: () => void;
}

export const useStore = create<Store>()(
  persist(
    (set) => ({
      count: 0,
      increment: () => set((s) => ({ count: s.count + 1 })),
      reset: () => set({ count: 0 }),
    }),
    { name: "counter-storage" },
  ),
);
```

## Performance Optimization

### Memoization

```tsx
// Memoize expensive calculations
const sortedItems = useMemo(
  () => items.toSorted((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)), // copy; never mutate props
  [items],
);

// Memoize callbacks
const handleSubmit = useCallback(
  (data: FormData) => {
    onSubmit(data);
  },
  [onSubmit],
);

// Memoize components (use sparingly)
const MemoizedList = memo(ItemList);
```

### Code Splitting

```tsx
const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import("./HeavyComponent"));

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
      <HeavyComponent />
    </Suspense>
  );
}
```

## Component Patterns

- Compound components
- Render props
- Higher-order components
- Custom hooks for logic extraction
- Error boundaries

## Anti-Patterns to Avoid

- Props drilling (use context/state)
- Inline objects/functions in JSX
- useEffect for derived state
- Index as key for dynamic lists
- Direct DOM manipulation

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 7a2b5ca4ef80, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
