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)

## Hoist RegExp Creation
Don't create RegExp inside render. Hoist to module scope or memoize with `useMemo()`.
**Incorrect (new RegExp every render):**
```tsx
function Highlighter({ text, query }: Props) {
const regex = new RegExp(`(${query})`, 'gi')
const parts = text.split(regex)
return <>{parts.map((part, i) => ...)}</>
}
```
**Correct (memoize or hoist):**
```tsx
const EMAIL_REGEX = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/
function Highlighter({ text, query }: Props) {
const regex = useMemo(
() => new RegExp(`(${escapeRegex(query)})`, 'gi'),
[query]
)
const parts = text.split(regex)
return <>{parts.map((part, i) => ...)}</>
}
```
**Warning (global regex has mutable state):**
Global regex (`/g`) has mutable `lastIndex` state:
```typescript
const regex = /foo/g
regex.test('foo') // true, lastIndex = 3
regex.test('foo') // false, lastIndex = 0
```
