## No Manual Memoization (REQUIRED)
```typescript
// ✅ React Compiler handles optimization automatically
function Component({ items }) {
const filtered = items.filter(x => x.active);
const sorted = filtered.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name));
const handleClick = (id) => {
console.log(id);
};
return <List items={sorted} onClick={handleClick} />;
}
// ❌ NEVER: Manual memoization
const filtered = useMemo(() => items.filter(x => x.active), [items]);
const handleClick = useCallback((id) => console.log(id), []);
```
## Imports (REQUIRED)
```typescript
// ✅ ALWAYS: Named imports
import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
// ❌ NEVER
import React from "react";
import * as React from "react";
```
## Server Components First
```typescript
// ✅ Server Component (default) - no directive
export default async function Page() {
const data = await fetchData();
return <ClientComponent data={data} />;
}
// ✅ Client Component - only when needed
"use client";
export function Interactive() {
const [state, setState] = useState(false);
return <button onClick={() => setState(!state)}>Toggle</button>;
}
```
## When to use "use client"
- useState, useEffect, useRef, useContext
- Event handlers (onClick, onChange)
- Browser APIs (window, localStorage)
## use() Hook
```typescript
import { use } from "react";
// Read promises (suspends until resolved)
function Comments({ promise }) {
const comments = use(promise);
return comments.map(c => <div key={c.id}>{c.text}</div>);
}
// Conditional context (not possible with useContext!)
function Theme({ showTheme }) {
if (showTheme) {
const theme = use(ThemeContext);
return <div style={{ color: theme.primary }}>Themed</div>;
}
return <div>Plain</div>;
}
```
## Actions & useActionState
```typescript
"use server";
async function submitForm(formData: FormData) {
await saveToDatabase(formData);
revalidatePath("/");
}
// With pending state
import { useActionState } from "react";
function Form() {
const [state, action, isPending] = useActionState(submitForm, null);
return (
<form action={action}>
<button disabled={isPending}>
{isPending ? "Saving..." : "Save"}
</button>
</form>
);
}
```
## ref as Prop (No forwardRef)
```typescript
// ✅ React 19: ref is just a prop
function Input({ ref, ...props }) {
return <input ref={ref} {...props} />;
}
// ❌ Old way (unnecessary now)
const Input = forwardRef((props, ref) => <input ref={ref} {...props} />);
```

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
