Does this support React 18 and 19 features?

Yes, it covers modern patterns including Server Components, concurrent features, and newer hooks like useEffectEvent to prevent stale closures.

Can it help with Next.js hydration errors?

Absolutely. It identifies causes for server/client mismatches such as browser-only APIs or random values and suggests strategies like useEffect-based initialization or suppressHydrationWarning.

How does this skill handle infinite re-render loops?

The skill analyzes state updates within render cycles and useEffect dependency arrays to identify recursive triggers, providing optimized patterns to move updates to event handlers or memoized effects.

What tools does this skill recommend for debugging?

It provides guidance on using React Developer Tools (Components and Profiler tabs), Error Boundaries, Strict Mode, and specialized utilities like 'why-did-you-render'.
