## 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 ()

## Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
|
|
|
|
When rendering content that depends on client-side storage (localStorage, cookies), avoid both SSR breakage and post-hydration flickering by injecting a synchronous script that updates the DOM before React hydrates.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (breaks SSR):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
// localStorage is not available on server - throws error
|
|
const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light'
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className={theme}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Server-side rendering will fail because `localStorage` is undefined.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (visual flickering):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light')
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
// Runs after hydration - causes visible flash
|
|
const stored = localStorage.getItem('theme')
|
|
if (stored) {
|
|
setTheme(stored)
|
|
}
|
|
}, [])
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className={theme}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Component first renders with default value (`light`), then updates after hydration, causing a visible flash of incorrect content.
|
|
|
|
**Correct (no flicker, no hydration mismatch):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<>
|
|
<div id="theme-wrapper">
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<script
|
|
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
|
|
__html: `
|
|
(function() {
|
|
try {
|
|
var theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
|
|
var el = document.getElementById('theme-wrapper');
|
|
if (el) el.className = theme;
|
|
} catch (e) {}
|
|
})();
|
|
`,
|
|
}}
|
|
/>
|
|
</>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The inline script executes synchronously before showing the element, ensuring the DOM already has the correct value. No flickering, no hydration mismatch.
|
|
|
|
This pattern is especially useful for theme toggles, user preferences, authentication states, and any client-only data that should render immediately without flashing default values.
