Container/Presentation Component

SkillFiles & storage

Lets your agent scaffold a React component with the Container/Presentation pattern, following your repo's conventions.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Container/Presentation Component skill

About this skill

Create a React component using the Container/Presentation pattern in src/components by asking for the component name and type (ui or features), then scaffold files that follow this repository's TypeScript, Storybook, and SCSS conventions. Use when the user explicitly asks for a Container/Presentatio

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by github/awesome-copilot in skills/react-container-presentation-component/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill to create a React component under src/components that follows the Container/Presentation pattern.

Refer to this skill's bundled references for detailed rules.

  • references/component-architecture.md
  • references/typescript-and-scss-rules.md

If the /react-container-presentation-component input is incomplete, ask questions first before creating files.

When To Use

  • When the user runs /react-container-presentation-component
  • When the user explicitly asks for a React component that follows the Container/Presentation pattern
  • When the user wants help deciding or implementing ui vs features classification within the Container/Presentation pattern

Required Questions

If any of the following information is missing, ask the user using ask_user.

  1. Component name
  2. Type (ui or features)
  3. Whether to replace existing components (only when creating ui)

Question requirements:

  • Provide the type as options (ui, features)
  • Require the component name to be in PascalCase
  • For ui, ask whether direct usage of Mantine or other UI libraries in existing features should be replaced with the new component

Procedure

  1. Check existing components
  • Check whether src/components/ui/<ComponentName> or src/components/features/<ComponentName> already exists.
  • If it exists, do not overwrite; confirm the preferred approach with the user.
  1. Decide target directory
  • ui: src/components/ui/<ComponentName>
  • features: src/components/features/<ComponentName>
  1. Re-check classification (only when ui is specified)
  • Even when ui is specified, before creating files, review Reclassification Rule in references/component-architecture.md.
  • If the implementation includes state management, side effects, async processing, context/store updates, or business logic, treat it as features.
  • If the result is closer to features, do not proceed as ui; use ask_user and confirm one of the following before continuing.
    • Create as features
    • Keep ui and move state/logic to parent or features
  1. Create required files
  • ui: index.tsx, index.module.scss, index.stories.tsx
  • features: index.tsx, use<ComponentName>.tsx, presentation.tsx, types.ts, presentation.module.scss, presentation.stories.tsx
  1. Replace existing usages (only when creating ui)
  • Only when the user approves, replace equivalent direct implementations using Mantine or other UI libraries in existing features with the new ui component.
  1. Validate
  • Run build and lint commands, and ensure both pass; if issues are introduced by newly added or updated files, fix them.
  • Follow Storybook Minimum in references/component-architecture.md for story state decisions.
  • Ask the user via ask_user whether to run a Storybook check (for example: "Run" / "Skip for now").
  • Run npm run storybook only if the user selects "Run".
  • If the user selects "Skip for now", explicitly mention in the final report that Storybook execution was skipped.

Output Contract

  • Report the list of files created.
  • If replacements were performed, report the list of changed files and replacement details.
  • Provide one usage example of the created component.
  • Report whether Storybook verification was executed (run/skip), and if run, include the command used.
  • Explain why the component was classified as ui or features.
  • Summarize where state, side effects, and rendering responsibilities were placed.
  • Confirm whether there were any dependency direction violations.
  • Clearly state any unresolved items.
