Obsidian Plugin React Best Practices
Use this umbrella skill when a plugin UI is built with React and you need performance-oriented guidance that goes beyond correctness.
Typical triggers
- "This React view feels slow"
- "Do we need
useMemohere?" - "How can we reduce rerenders in this plugin panel?"
- "Should this be dynamically imported?"
- "Can you apply React best practices to this plugin UI?"
Applicability check
This skill is most useful when the plugin has a React-based frontend.
- Many rules apply directly to client-side React in Obsidian plugin views, modals, and settings tabs.
- Some rules are Next.js or server-component specific and should only be applied when the plugin repo actually uses Next.js, SSR, RSC, or server actions.
- For non-React plugin UIs, prefer
obsidian-plugin-dev,obsidian-plugin-css-styling, andobsidian-plugin-accessibility.
