Reference for every source-file migration required for React 19.
| Pattern | Action | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| ReactDOM.render(...) | → createRoot().render() | See references/api-migrations.md |
| ReactDOM.hydrate(...) | → hydrateRoot(...) | See references/api-migrations.md |
| unmountComponentAtNode | → root.unmount() | Inline fix |
| ReactDOM.findDOMNode | → direct ref | Inline fix |
| forwardRef(...) wrapper | → ref as direct prop | See references/api-migrations.md |
| Component.defaultProps = {} | → ES6 default params | See references/api-migrations.md |
| useRef() no arg | → useRef(null) | Inline fix add null |
| Legacy Context | → createContext | → api-migrations.md#legacy-context |
| String refs this.refs.x | → createRef() | → api-migrations.md#string-refs |
| import React from 'react' (unused) | Remove | Only if no React. usage in file |
Do not remove .propTypes assignments. The prop-types package still works as a standalone validator. React 19 only removes the built-in runtime checking from the React package the package itself remains valid.
Add this comment above any .propTypes block:
// NOTE: React 19 no longer runs propTypes validation at runtime.
// PropTypes kept for documentation and IDE tooling only.
For full before/after code for each migration, read references/api-migrations.md. It contains the complete patterns including edge cases for forwardRef with useImperativeHandle, defaultProps null vs undefined behavior, and legacy context provider/consumer cross-file migrations.

End-to-end skill for building, testing, linting, versioning, and publishing a production-grade Python library to PyPI. Covers all four build backends (setuptools+setuptools_scm, hatchling, flit, poetry), PEP 440 versioning, semantic versioning, dynamic git-tag versioning, OOP/SOLID design, type hints (PEP 484/526/544/561), Trusted Publishing (OIDC), and the full PyPA packaging flow. Use for: creating Python packages, pip-installable SDKs, CLI tools, framework plugins, pyproject.toml setup, py.typed, setuptools_scm, semver, mypy, pre-commit, GitHub Actions CI/CD, or PyPI publishing.
tools
Audit MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations for security issues. Use this skill when: - Reviewing .mcp.json files for security risks - Checking MCP server args for hardcoded secrets or shell injection patterns - Validating that MCP servers use pinned versions (not @latest) - Detecting unpinned dependencies in MCP server configurations - Auditing which MCP servers a project registers and whether they're on an approved list - Checking for environment variable usage vs. hardcoded credentials in MCP configs - Any request like "is my MCP config secure?", "audit my MCP servers", or "check .mcp.json" keywords: [mcp, security, audit, secrets, shell-injection, supply-chain, governance]

Enable code intelligence (go-to-definition, find-references, hover, type info) for any programming language by installing and configuring an LSP server for Copilot CLI. Detects the OS, installs the right server, and generates the JSON configuration (user-level or repo-level). Use when you need deeper code understanding and no LSP server is configured, or when the user asks to set up, install, or configure an LSP server.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to build scroll animations, scroll effects, parallax, scroll-triggered reveals, pinned sections, horizontal scroll, text animations, or any motion tied to scroll position — in vanilla JS, React, or Next.js. Covers GSAP ScrollTrigger (pinning, scrubbing, snapping, timelines, horizontal scroll, ScrollSmoother, matchMedia) and Framer Motion / Motion v12 (useScroll, useTransform, useSpring, whileInView, variants). Use this skill even if the user just says "animate on scroll", "fade in as I scroll", "make it scroll like Apple", "parallax effect", "sticky section", "scroll progress bar", or "entrance animation". Also triggers for Copilot prompt patterns for GSAP or Framer Motion code generation. Pairs with the premium-frontend-ui skill for creative philosophy and design-level polish.
