Vercel React Best Practices
Vercel Engineering's React and Next.js performance guidelines as a skill.
About
From vercel-labs/agent-skills, this is Vercel Engineering's own React and Next.js performance playbook packaged as an installable skill. It has very wide adoption (around 185K installs via the skills.sh registry) and is the closest thing to an official answer on how Vercel wants you to write fast React.
It is opinionated toward the Vercel stack, so teams on other hosting or non-React frameworks will find parts of it inapplicable.
What it can do
- React rendering performance guidelines
- Next.js App Router best practices
- Bundle-size and loading optimizations
- Vercel-idiomatic deployment patterns
Setup
- Install the skill: npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills@react-best-practices
- Restart your agent so the skill loads
- Ask performance questions and the agent applies Vercel's guidelines
Prerequisites
A React or Next.js project
