React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code to ensure optimal performance patterns. Triggers on tasks involving React components, Next.js pages, data fetching, bundle optimization, or performance improvements.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vercel React Best Practices

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React and Next.js applications, maintained by Vercel. Contains 64 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

- Writing new React components or Next.js pages
- Implementing data fetching (client or server-side)
- Reviewing code for performance issues
- Refactoring existing React/Next.js code
- Optimizing bundle size or load times

## Rule Categories by Priority

| Priority | Category                  | Impact      | Prefix       |
| -------- | ------------------------- | ----------- | ------------ |
| 1        | Eliminating Waterfalls    | CRITICAL    | `async-`     |
| 2        | Bundle Size Optimization  | CRITICAL    | `bundle-`    |
| 3        | Server-Side Performance   | HIGH        | `server-`    |
| 4        | Client-Side Data Fetching | MEDIUM-HIGH | `client-`    |
| 5        | Re-render Optimization    | MEDIUM      | `rerender-`  |
| 6        | Rendering Performance     | MEDIUM      | `rendering-` |
| 7        | JavaScript Performance    | LOW-MEDIUM  | `js-`        |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/react-best-practices@sha256:711bcd167996977a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
