Claude Code Configuration for React Projects

🚨 CRITICAL: REACT PARALLEL EXECUTION PATTERNS

MANDATORY RULE: React projects require component-based coordination with concurrent rendering and state management.

🚨 CRITICAL: CONCURRENT EXECUTION FOR ALL REACT OPERATIONS

ABSOLUTE RULE: ALL React operations MUST be concurrent/parallel in a single message:

🔴 MANDATORY CONCURRENT PATTERNS FOR REACT:

1. Component Creation: ALWAYS batch ALL component files in ONE message
2. State Management: ALWAYS batch ALL Redux/Context setup together
3. Testing: ALWAYS run ALL React Testing Library suites in parallel
4. Build Operations: ALWAYS batch ALL webpack/Vite operations
5. Styling: ALWAYS batch ALL CSS/styled-components together

⚡ REACT GOLDEN RULE: "1 MESSAGE = ALL COMPONENT ECOSYSTEM OPERATIONS"

Examples of CORRECT React concurrent execution:

// ✅ CORRECT: Everything in ONE message
[Single Message]:
  - TodoWrite { todos: [10+ todos with all React tasks] }
  - Task("You are React architect. Coordinate via hooks for component design...")
  - Task("You are State manager. Coordinate via hooks for Redux/Context...")
  - Task("You are UI designer. Coordinate via hooks for styling...")
  - Bash("npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript")
  - Bash("cd my-app && npm install @reduxjs/toolkit react-redux")
  - Bash("cd my-app && npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom")
  - Write("src/components/UserCard.tsx", userCardComponent)
  - Write("src/components/UserList.tsx", userListComponent)
  - Write("src/hooks/useUsers.ts", customHook)
  - Write("src/store/userSlice.ts", reduxSlice)
  - Write("src/context/AppContext.tsx", reactContext)
  - Write("src/services/api.ts", apiService)
  - Write("src/tests/UserCard.test.tsx", componentTests)
