How does it handle the transition from lifecycle methods to hooks?

The skill provides a detailed mapping of class lifecycle methods like componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate to the modern useEffect hook.

Can this skill help with React 18 upgrades?

Yes, it provides specific paths for upgrading from React 16 and 17 to 18, covering breaking changes, the new root API, and concurrent features.

Does this skill help with TypeScript migration?

Absolutely. It provides standardized patterns and examples for converting JavaScript React components and props to TypeScript interfaces.

Does it support automated code transformations?

Yes, it includes instructions for using jscodeshift and various React codemods to automate repetitive refactoring tasks like renaming lifecycle methods.
