React skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Builds, debugs, and reviews React apps: components, hooks, state, Server Components, forms, performance, testing. Use when writing or refactoring components, choosing state management (useState, Context, Zustand, TanStack Query, Redux), when a component rerenders too often, loops infinitely ("too many re-renders"), shows stale or not-updating state, fails with a hydration mismatch or hook-order error, when an effect fires twice or fetches race, when typing lags or long lists scroll slowly, when adopting React 19, Server Actions, or the React Compiler, when testing components with Testing Library, typing props in TypeScript, or reviewing AI-generated React code. Not for React Native (mobile) or Next.js routing and deployment — use react-native or nextjs.

The React skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the React skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for react and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the React skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add react

This pulls react from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/react/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the React skill

Once installed, the React skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab react-1.0.7.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/react/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
