example-react SKILL.md skillA

example-react from bintzgavin/helios is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add bintzgavin/helios/example-react@git:20261009.c6b0c13

Pins git:20261009.c6b0c13 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Patterns for using Helios with React. Use when building compositions in a React environment.

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

# React Composition Patterns

Integrate Helios into React components using hooks for state management and Refs for canvas access.

## Quick Start

### 1. Create `useVideoFrame` Hook

This hook subscribes to Helios and returns the current frame, triggering re-renders.

```javascript
// hooks/useVideoFrame.js
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

export function useVideoFrame(helios) {
  const [frame, setFrame] = useState(helios.currentFrame.peek());

  useEffect(() => {
    // Subscribe to updates
    const unsubscribe = helios.subscribe((state) => {
      setFrame(state.currentFrame);
    });
    return unsubscribe;
  }, [helios]);

  return frame;
}
```

### 2. Create Composition Component

```jsx
// App.jsx
import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Helios } from '@helios-project/core';
import { useVideoFrame } from './hooks/useVideoFrame';

// Initialize Singleton (outside component to persist across re-renders)
const helios = new Helios({
  duration: 10,
  fps: 30
});
helios.bindToDocumentTimeline();

// Expose for Renderer/Player
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') window.helios = helios;

export default function App() {

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bintzgavin/helios/example-react@sha256:0c29238c438e468d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.c6b0c13, 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.
