Udit TakkarandGitHub 7a9fdd5a0c feat: add react best practises and web design skills (#26918)
## What does this PR do?

This PR adds https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-react-best-practices for your coding agent using `npx add-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills` command

The skills are added to `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, and `.opencode/` directories to provide React and Next.js performance optimization guidance for AI-assisted workflows.

## Updates since last revision

Addressed Cubic AI review feedback for issues with confidence >= 9/10:

- **rerender-dependencies.md** - Replaced `console.log(user.id)` with `fetchUserDetails(user.id)` to avoid logging sensitive information
- **server-after-nonblocking.md** - Removed `sessionCookie` from `logUserAction` call to avoid logging sensitive authentication data, added `await` to async call
- **bundle-conditional.md** - Added `loadError` state and `setLoadError` setter to fix undefined `setEnabled` reference
- **advanced-event-handler-refs.md** - Updated `useWindowEvent` handler signature to accept `Event` parameter and forward it to the stored handler
- **rerender-derived-state.md** - Closed `<nav>` elements in both examples for valid JSX

Fixes applied to both `.claude` and `.cursor` skill directories for consistency.

## Mandatory Tasks (DO NOT REMOVE)

- [x] I have self-reviewed the code (A decent size PR without self-review might be rejected).
- [x] N/A I have updated the developer docs in /docs if this PR makes changes that would require a [documentation change](https://cal.com/docs). If N/A, write N/A here and check the checkbox.
- [x] N/A, I confirm automated tests are in place that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.

## How should this be tested?

These are documentation files for AI coding agents. No runtime testing required - review the markdown files to verify the example code snippets are correct.

## Checklist for human review

- [ ] Verify example code snippets in the skill files are syntactically correct
- [ ] Confirm the fixes don't introduce new issues in the documentation examples
- [ ] Check that `.claude` and `.cursor` directories have consistent content

## Store Event Handlers in Refs
Store callbacks in refs when used in effects that shouldn't re-subscribe on callback changes.
**Incorrect (re-subscribes on every render):**
```tsx
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
useEffect(() => {
window.addEventListener(event, handler)
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
}, [event, handler])
}
```
**Correct (stable subscription):**
```tsx
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
useEffect(() => {
handlerRef.current = handler
}, [handler])
useEffect(() => {
const listener = () => handlerRef.current()
window.addEventListener(event, listener)
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, listener)
}, [event])
}
```
**Alternative: use `useEffectEvent` if you're on latest React:**
```tsx
import { useEffectEvent } from 'react'
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
const onEvent = useEffectEvent(handler)
useEffect(() => {
window.addEventListener(event, onEvent)
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, onEvent)
}, [event])
}
```
`useEffectEvent` provides a cleaner API for the same pattern: it creates a stable function reference that always calls the latest version of the handler.
