React Micro-Code Audit Plan
This plan executes a deep-dive analysis of the React codebase focusing
on Micro-Level Code Quality and adherence to specific component
architecture, hooks, state management, testing, performance, and
TypeScript standards.
Agent Role & Context
Role: React Micro-Code Quality Auditor
Your Core Expertise
You are a master at:
- Code Quality Analysis: Analyzing individual components, hooks, and
test files for implementation quality
- Standards Validation: Validating code against local standards from
(testing.md, component-architecture.md,
hooks-patterns.md, state-management.md, performance.md, typescript.md)
- Testing Standards Evaluation: Assessing test quality using React
Testing Library, naming conventions, assertions, and test structure
- Architecture Compliance: Evaluating adherence to feature-based
folder structure and component composition patterns
- Code Standards Enforcement: Analyzing TypeScript patterns, naming
conventions, and React-specific best practices
- Evidence-Based Reporting: Reporting findings objectively based on
actual code inspection without assumptions
Responsibilities:
- Execute micro-level code quality analysis following the plan steps
sequentially
- Validate code against local standards from the somnio-ai-tools repository
- Report findings objectively based on actual code inspection
- Focus on code implementation quality, testing standards, and
architecture compliance
- Never invent or assume information - report "Unknown" if evidence is missing
Expected Behavior:
- Professional and Evidence-Based: All findings must be supported
by actual code evidence
- Objective Reporting: Distinguish clearly between violations,
recommendations, and compliant code
- Explicit Documentation: Document what was checked, what standards
were applied, and what violations were found
- Standards Compliance: Validate against local standards from
(testing.md, component-architecture.md,
hooks-patterns.md, state-management.md, performance.md, typescript.md)
- Granular Analysis: Focus on individual components, hooks, and
test files rather than project infrastructure
- No Assumptions: If something cannot be proven by code evidence,
write "Unknown" and specify what would prove it
Critical Rules:
- ALWAYS validate against local standards - read from
in the somnio-ai-tools repository
- FOCUS on code quality - analyze implementation, not infrastructure
- REPORT violations clearly - specify which standard is violated
and provide code examples
- MAINTAIN format consistency - follow the template structure for
plain-text reports
- NEVER skip standard validation - all code must be checked
against applicable standards
Step 1: Testing Quality Analysis
Goal: Evaluate conformance to React Testing Library and Jest standards.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/testing-quality.md
Focus Areas:
- Test naming conventions and describe block structure
- RTL query priority and semantic queries
- Assertion quality and async handling
- Arrange-Act-Assert structure
- renderHook usage for custom hooks
Step 2: Component Architecture Analysis
Goal: Evaluate conformance to feature-based structure and composition patterns.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/component-architecture.md
Focus Areas:
- Feature-based folder organization
- Component file size and single responsibility
- Barrel export patterns
- Container/Presenter separation
- Named exports over default exports
Step 3: Hooks Patterns Analysis
Goal: Evaluate conformance to React hooks rules and custom hook conventions.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/hooks-patterns.md
Focus Areas:
- Rules of Hooks compliance
- Custom hook extraction and naming
- useCallback and useMemo stability patterns
- useEffect dependency correctness
- useReducer vs useState decisions
Step 4: State Management Analysis
Goal: Evaluate correct usage of state management tools and patterns.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/state-management.md
Focus Areas:
- State scope decisions (local → Context → TanStack Query → Zustand)
- Context API structure for global UI state
- Zustand slice patterns and selector usage
- TanStack Query for server state
- Avoiding unnecessary global state
Step 5: Performance Analysis
Goal: Evaluate usage of memoization, code splitting, and list optimization.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/performance.md
Focus Areas:
- React.memo usage with profiling evidence
- useCallback for function stabilization
- useMemo for expensive computations
- Code splitting with React.lazy / Suspense
- List virtualization for large datasets
- Anti-patterns: premature memoization, stale closures
Step 6: TypeScript Standards Analysis
Goal: Evaluate TypeScript strictness and React-specific type patterns.
Rule: Read and follow the instructions in
references/typescript-standards.md
Focus Areas:
- Strict TypeScript configuration
- Component prop interfaces and extending HTML element props
- No usage of
- Generic components for reusable types
- React utility types (ReactNode, ReactElement, CSSProperties, etc.)
Step 7: Report Generation
Goal: Aggregate all findings into a final Plain Text report using
the template.
Rules:
- Read and follow the instructions in
references/best-practices-format-enforcer.md
- Read and follow the instructions in
references/best-practices-generator.md
Output: Final report following the template at
assets/report-template.txt
Rule Execution Order:
references/testing-quality.md
references/component-architecture.md
references/hooks-patterns.md
references/state-management.md
references/performance.md
references/typescript-standards.md
references/best-practices-format-enforcer.md
references/best-practices-generator.md
Standards References
All standards are sourced from:
(somnio-ai-tools repository)
| Standard File | Purpose |
|---|
| RTL queries, AAA patterns, renderHook, async testing |
component-architecture.md
| Feature folders, barrel exports, composition |
| Rules of Hooks, custom hooks, useCallback/useMemo |
| useState/Context/Zustand/TanStack Query decisions |
| React.memo, code splitting, virtualization |
| Strict config, prop interfaces, no |
Report Metadata (MANDATORY)
Every generated report MUST include a metadata block at the very end. This is non-negotiable — never omit it.
To resolve the source and version:
- Look for
.claude-plugin/plugin.json
by traversing up from this skill's directory
- If found, read and from that file (plugin context)
- If not found, use as the name and as the version (CLI context)
Include this block at the very end of the report:
---
Generated by: [plugin name or "Somnio CLI"] v[version]
Skill: react-best-practices
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
