React Doctor

Scans React codebases for security, performance, correctness, and architecture issues. Outputs a 0, 100 health score.

After making React code changes:

Run npx react-doctor@latest --verbose --scope changed and check the score did not regress.

If the score dropped, fix the regressions before committing.

For general cleanup or code improvement:

Run npx react-doctor@latest --verbose (the default --scope full) to scan the full codebase. Fix issues by severity, errors first, then warnings.

/doctor, full local triage workflow

When the user types /doctor, says "run react doctor", or asks for a full triage / cleanup pass (not just a regression check), fetch the canonical local-triage playbook and follow every step in it:

curl --fail --silent --show-error \
  --header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  https://www.react.doctor/prompts/react-doctor-agent.md

The playbook is the single source of truth, a scan → filter → triage → fix → validate loop that edits the working tree directly (never commits, never opens PRs). Updating the prompt at its source updates every agent on its next fetch, no skill reinstall needed.

Pair it with the matching per-rule prompts at https://www.react.doctor/prompts/rules/<plugin>/<rule>.md (fetched on demand inside the playbook) so each fix uses the canonical, reviewer-tested recipe.

Configuring or explaining rules

When the user wants to understand a rule, disagrees with one, or wants to disable / tune which rules run (not fix code), read references/explain.md and follow it. Start with npx react-doctor@latest rules explain <rule>, then apply the narrowest control via npx react-doctor@latest rules disable|set|category|ignore-tag …, which edits your doctor.config.* (or package.json#reactDoctor).

Command

npx react-doctor@latest --verbose --scope changed
