fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

Extract to Memoized Components

Extract expensive work into memoized components to enable early returns before computation.

Incorrect (computes avatar even when loading):

function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) {
  const avatar = useMemo(() => {
    const id = computeAvatarId(user);
    return <Avatar id={id} />;
  }, [user]);

  if (loading) return <Skeleton />;
  return <div>{avatar}</div>;
}

Correct (skips computation when loading):

const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ user }: { user: User }) {
  const id = useMemo(() => computeAvatarId(user), [user]);
  return <Avatar id={id} />;
});

function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) {
  if (loading) return <Skeleton />;
  return (
    <div>
      <UserAvatar user={user} />
    </div>
  );
}

Note: If your project has React Compiler enabled, manual memoization with memo() and useMemo() is not necessary. The compiler automatically optimizes re-renders.
