Jason Woltje d9bcdc4a8d feat: Initial agent-skills repo — 4 adapted skills for Mosaic Stack
Skills included:
- pr-reviewer: Adapted for Gitea/GitHub via platform-aware scripts
  (dropped fetch_pr_data.py and add_inline_comment.py, kept generate_review_files.py)
- code-review-excellence: Methodology and checklists (React, TS, Python, etc.)
- vercel-react-best-practices: 57 rules for React/Next.js performance
- tailwind-design-system: Tailwind CSS v4 patterns, CVA, design tokens

New shell scripts added to ~/.claude/scripts/git/:
- pr-diff.sh: Get PR diff (GitHub gh / Gitea API)
- pr-metadata.sh: Get PR metadata as normalized JSON

Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant MEDIUM restores memoization by using a constant for default value rerender, memo, optimization

Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant

When memoized component has a default value for some non-primitive optional parameter, such as an array, function, or object, calling the component without that parameter results in broken memoization. This is because new value instances are created on every rerender, and they do not pass strict equality comparison in memo().

To address this issue, extract the default value into a constant.

Incorrect (onClick has different values on every rerender):

const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = () => {} }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
  // ...
})

// Used without optional onClick
<UserAvatar />

Correct (stable default value):

const NOOP = () => {};

const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = NOOP }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
  // ...
})

// Used without optional onClick
<UserAvatar />
