Automated static analysis (no LLM) · v2.12.0 · 2026-10-17
Partial analysis: some checks could not run on this component.
SkillSpector looks for patterns such as shell commands, credential access, network calls or unpinned dependencies. An observation is something worth reading in the files before you install, not a confirmed vulnerability. Components that run code locally, like hooks, MCP servers and security tooling, naturally show more of them.
No observations.

Advanced React Performance Patterns
Concurrent React Features
// React 18 Concurrent Features
import { startTransition, useDeferredValue, useTransition } from 'react';
function SearchResults({ query }: { query: string }) {
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
const [results, setResults] = useState([]);
const deferredQuery = useDeferredValue(query);
// Heavy search operation with transition
const searchHandler = (newQuery: string) => {
startTransition(() => {
// This won't block the UI
setResults(performExpensiveSearch(newQuery));
});
};
return (
<div>
<SearchInput onChange={searchHandler} />
{isPending && <SearchSpinner />}
<ResultsList
results={results}
query={deferredQuery} // Uses deferred value
/>
</div>
);
}Advanced Memoization Strategies
// Deep comparison memoization
import { memo, useMemo } from 'react';
import { isEqual } from 'lodash';
const ExpensiveComponent = memo(({ data, config }) => {
// Memoize expensive computations
const processedData = useMemo(() => {
return data
.filter(item => item.active)
.map(item => processComplexCalculation(item, config))
.sort((a, b) => b.priority - a.priority);
}, [data, config]);
const chartConfig = useMemo(() => ({
responsive: true,
plugins: {
legend: { display: config.showLegend },
tooltip: { enabled: config.showTooltips }
}
}), [config.showLegend, config.showTooltips]);
return <Chart data={processedData} options={chartConfig} />;
}, (prevProps, nextProps) => {
// Custom comparison function for complex objects
return isEqual(prevProps.data, nextProps.data) &&
isEqual(prevProps.config, nextProps.config);
});Virtualization for Large Lists
// React Window for performance
import { FixedSizeList as List } from 'react-window';
const VirtualizedList = ({ items }: { items: any[] }) => {
const Row = ({ index, style }: { index: number; style: any }) => (
<div style={style}>
<ItemComponent item={items[index]} />
</div>
);
return (
<List
height={400}
itemCount={items.length}
itemSize={50}
width="100%"
>
{Row}
</List>
);
};
// Intersection Observer for infinite scrolling
const useInfiniteScroll = (callback: () => void) => {
const observer = useRef<IntersectionObserver>();
const lastElementRef = useCallback((node: HTMLDivElement) => {
if (observer.current) observer.current.disconnect();
observer.current = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
if (entries[0].isIntersecting) callback();
});
if (node) observer.current.observe(node);
}, [callback]);
return lastElementRef;
};Bundle Optimization
Advanced Code Splitting
// Route-based splitting with preloading
import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';
const Dashboard = lazy(() =>
import('./Dashboard').then(module => ({ default: module.Dashboard }))
);
const Analytics = lazy(() =>
import(/* webpackChunkName: "analytics" */ './Analytics')
);
// Preload critical routes
const preloadDashboard = () => import('./Dashboard');
const preloadAnalytics = () => import('./Analytics');
// Component-based splitting
const LazyChart = lazy(() =>
import('react-chartjs-2').then(module => ({
default: module.Chart
}))
);
export function App() {
useEffect(() => {
// Preload likely next routes
setTimeout(preloadDashboard, 2000);
// Preload on user interaction
const handleMouseEnter = () => preloadAnalytics();
document.getElementById('analytics-link')
?.addEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);
return () => {
document.getElementById('analytics-link')
?.removeEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);
};
}, []);
return (
<Suspense fallback={<PageSkeleton />}>
<Router />
</Suspense>
);
}Bundle Analysis Configuration
// webpack.config.js
const BundleAnalyzerPlugin = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer').BundleAnalyzerPlugin;
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({
analyzerMode: 'static',
openAnalyzer: false,
reportFilename: 'bundle-report.html'
})
],
optimization: {
splitChunks: {
chunks: 'all',
cacheGroups: {
vendor: {
test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/,
name: 'vendors',
priority: 10,
reuseExistingChunk: true
},
common: {
name: 'common',
minChunks: 2,
priority: 5,
reuseExistingChunk: true
}
}
}
}
};Core Web Vitals Optimization
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) Optimization
// Image optimization for LCP
import Image from 'next/image';
const OptimizedHero = () => (
<Image
src="/hero-image.jpg"
alt="Hero"
width={1200}
height={600}
priority // Load immediately for LCP
placeholder="blur"
blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQ..."
/>
);
// Resource hints for LCP improvement
export function Head() {
return (
<>
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossOrigin="anonymous" />
<link rel="preload" href="/critical.css" as="style" />
<link rel="preload" href="/hero-image.jpg" as="image" />
</>
);
}First Input Delay (FID) Optimization
// Code splitting to reduce main thread blocking
const heavyLibrary = lazy(() => import('heavy-library'));
// Use scheduler for non-urgent updates
import { unstable_scheduleCallback, unstable_NormalPriority } from 'scheduler';
const deferNonCriticalWork = (callback: () => void) => {
unstable_scheduleCallback(unstable_NormalPriority, callback);
};
// Debounce heavy operations
const useDebounce = (value: string, delay: number) => {
const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);
useEffect(() => {
const handler = setTimeout(() => {
setDebouncedValue(value);
}, delay);
return () => clearTimeout(handler);
}, [value, delay]);
return debouncedValue;
};Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) Prevention
/* Reserve space for dynamic content */
.skeleton-container {
min-height: 200px; /* Prevent layout shift */
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
/* Aspect ratio containers */
.aspect-ratio-container {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 aspect ratio */
}
.aspect-ratio-content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}// React component for CLS prevention
const StableComponent = ({ isLoading, data }: { isLoading: boolean; data?: any }) => {
return (
<div className="stable-container" style={{ minHeight: '200px' }}>
{isLoading ? (
<div className="skeleton" style={{ height: '200px' }} />
) : (
<div className="content" style={{ height: 'auto' }}>
{data && <DataVisualization data={data} />}
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};Performance Monitoring
Real-time Performance Tracking
// Performance observer setup
const observePerformance = () => {
// Core Web Vitals tracking
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
for (const entry of list.getEntries()) {
if (entry.name === 'largest-contentful-paint') {
trackMetric('LCP', entry.startTime);
}
if (entry.name === 'first-input') {
trackMetric('FID', entry.processingStart - entry.startTime);
}
if (entry.name === 'layout-shift') {
trackMetric('CLS', entry.value);
}
}
});
observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['largest-contentful-paint', 'first-input', 'layout-shift'] });
};
// React performance monitoring
const usePerformanceMonitor = () => {
useEffect(() => {
const startTime = performance.now();
return () => {
const duration = performance.now() - startTime;
trackMetric('component-mount-time', duration);
};
}, []);
};Memory Leak Detection
// Memory leak prevention patterns
const useCleanup = (effect: () => () => void, deps: any[]) => {
useEffect(() => {
const cleanup = effect();
return () => {
cleanup();
// Clear any remaining references
if (typeof cleanup === 'function') {
cleanup();
}
};
}, deps);
};
// Proper event listener cleanup
const useEventListener = (eventName: string, handler: (event: Event) => void) => {
const savedHandler = useRef(handler);
useEffect(() => {
savedHandler.current = handler;
}, [handler]);
useEffect(() => {
const eventListener = (event: Event) => savedHandler.current(event);
window.addEventListener(eventName, eventListener);
return () => {
window.removeEventListener(eventName, eventListener);
};
}, [eventName]);
};Performance Analysis Tools
Custom Performance Profiler
// React DevTools Profiler API
import { Profiler } from 'react';
const onRenderCallback = (id: string, phase: 'mount' | 'update', actualDuration: number) => {
console.log('Component:', id, 'Phase:', phase, 'Duration:', actualDuration);
// Send to analytics
fetch('/api/performance', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
componentId: id,
phase,
duration: actualDuration,
timestamp: Date.now()
})
});
};
export const ProfiledComponent = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (
<Profiler id="ProfiledComponent" onRender={onRenderCallback}>
{children}
</Profiler>
);Always provide specific performance improvements with measurable metrics, before/after comparisons, and production-ready monitoring solutions.
