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

## Use Loop for Min/Max Instead of Sort
Finding the smallest or largest element only requires a single pass through the array. Sorting is wasteful and slower.
**Incorrect (O(n log n) - sort to find latest):**
```typescript
interface Project {
id: string
name: string
updatedAt: number
}
function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => b.updatedAt - a.updatedAt)
return sorted[0]
}
```
Sorts the entire array just to find the maximum value.
**Incorrect (O(n log n) - sort for oldest and newest):**
```typescript
function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => a.updatedAt - b.updatedAt)
return { oldest: sorted[0], newest: sorted[sorted.length - 1] }
}
```
Still sorts unnecessarily when only min/max are needed.
**Correct (O(n) - single loop):**
```typescript
function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
if (projects.length === 0) return null
let latest = projects[0]
for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
if (projects[i].updatedAt > latest.updatedAt) {
latest = projects[i]
}
}
return latest
}
function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
if (projects.length === 0) return { oldest: null, newest: null }
let oldest = projects[0]
let newest = projects[0]
for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
if (projects[i].updatedAt < oldest.updatedAt) oldest = projects[i]
if (projects[i].updatedAt > newest.updatedAt) newest = projects[i]
}
return { oldest, newest }
}
```
Single pass through the array, no copying, no sorting.
**Alternative (Math.min/Math.max for small arrays):**
```typescript
const numbers = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
const min = Math.min(...numbers)
const max = Math.max(...numbers)
```
This works for small arrays but can be slower for very large arrays due to spread operator limitations. Use the loop approach for reliability.
