react-typescript
Type React components and hooks with TypeScript patterns. Use when typing React props, hooks, event handlers, or component generics in TypeScript. (triggers: **/*.tsx, ReactNode, FC, PropsWithChildren, ComponentProps)
Best use case
react-typescript is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Type React components and hooks with TypeScript patterns. Use when typing React props, hooks, event handlers, or component generics in TypeScript. (triggers: **/*.tsx, ReactNode, FC, PropsWithChildren, ComponentProps)
Teams using react-typescript should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# React TypeScript ## **Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)** Type-safe React patterns. ## Implementation Guidelines - **Components**: Prefer **interface/type (`Props`)** over **`React.FC`** (which has implicit children). Use **`JSX.Element`** or **`ReactNode`** as the return type. - **Children**: For components that accept children, use **`PropsWithChildren<T>`** or explicitly type them as **`React.ReactNode`**. - **Events**: Always type event handlers using specific React events, such as **`React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>`** or **`React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>`**. - **Hooks**: For `useRef`, avoid `any`; use **`useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)`**. For `useState`, use generics for complex types: **`useState<User | null>(null)`**. - **Native Elements**: Use **`ComponentPropsWithoutRef<'button'>`** or **`ComponentPropsWithRef`** to extend native attributes safely. - **Generics**: Implement generic components for reusable UI like lists using **`<T,>(props: ListProps<T>)`**. - **Discriminated Unions**: Use **Discriminated Unions** for mutually exclusive props (e.g., `success` vs `error` states). - **Utility Types**: Leverage **`Omit`**, **`Pick`**, and **`Partial`** to transform prop interfaces and avoid redundancy. ## Anti-Patterns - **No `any`**: Use `unknown`. - **No `React.FC`**: Implicit children is deprecated/bad practice. - **No `Function`**: Use `(args: T) => void`. ## References See [references/example.md](references/example.md) for typed props, generic components, and hook ref patterns.
