## 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 --- Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/f7f7e67fdeea4b22a4817d63ed9e1759 Requested by: unknown ()

Avoid Barrel File Imports
Import directly from source files instead of barrel files to avoid loading thousands of unused modules. Barrel files are entry points that re-export multiple modules (e.g., index.js that does export * from './module').
Popular icon and component libraries can have up to 10,000 re-exports in their entry file. For many React packages, it takes 200-800ms just to import them, affecting both development speed and production cold starts.
Why tree-shaking doesn't help: When a library is marked as external (not bundled), the bundler can't optimize it. If you bundle it to enable tree-shaking, builds become substantially slower analyzing the entire module graph.
Incorrect (imports entire library):
import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
// Loads 1,583 modules, takes ~2.8s extra in dev
// Runtime cost: 200-800ms on every cold start
import { Button, TextField } from '@mui/material'
// Loads 2,225 modules, takes ~4.2s extra in dev
Correct (imports only what you need):
import Check from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/check'
import X from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/x'
import Menu from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/menu'
// Loads only 3 modules (~2KB vs ~1MB)
import Button from '@mui/material/Button'
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField'
// Loads only what you use
Alternative (Next.js 13.5+):
// next.config.js - use optimizePackageImports
module.exports = {
experimental: {
optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@mui/material']
}
}
// Then you can keep the ergonomic barrel imports:
import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
// Automatically transformed to direct imports at build time
Direct imports provide 15-70% faster dev boot, 28% faster builds, 40% faster cold starts, and significantly faster HMR.
Libraries commonly affected: lucide-react, @mui/material, @mui/icons-material, @tabler/icons-react, react-icons, @headlessui/react, @radix-ui/react-*, lodash, ramda, date-fns, rxjs, react-use.
