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

**Version 1.0.0**  
Engineering  
January 2026

> **Note:**  
> This document is mainly for agents and LLMs to follow when maintaining,  
> generating, or refactoring React codebases using composition. Humans  
> may also find it useful, but guidance here is optimized for automation  
> and consistency by AI-assisted workflows.

## Abstract

Composition patterns for building flexible, maintainable React components. Avoid boolean prop proliferation by using compound components, lifting state, and composing internals. These patterns make codebases easier for both humans and AI agents to work with as they scale.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vercel-labs/agent-skills/skills/composition-patterns/AGENTS.md@sha256:89e3ddd58fcf99a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260128.a5343bd, 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.
