Five practical skills for React development are covered: a planning skill that forces Claude to interview you before writing code, a project memory skill that maintains a live PROJECT-STATE.md index, a component scaffolding skill that enforces folder structure, prop typing, and Server Component defaults, a PR review skill that checks diffs against project conventions with severity-ranked findings, and a CSS-first skill that defaults to native CSS solutions before reaching for JavaScript. The post also covers which skills were removed (prop docs, Storybook generation, accessibility audits, bundle analysis, class-to-hooks migration) and why, with the key lesson being that skills should encode repeatable judgment rather than tasks requiring too much contextual discretion. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The project memory and planning skills would save me way more time than another code generator. **@lauramoss** · 6 upvotes > Nice article. Turning repeatable React workflows into reusable AI skills feels like the next step beyond simple prompting, more consistency, less repetition. Will keep in mind for my next projects **@alexeyzerkalenkov** · 3 upvotes > You shouldn't always write them by yourself -- there are plenty of very useful skills at the [http://skills.sh](http://skills.sh) registry.
