React Flow Architect

ReactFlow Architect

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/react-flow-architect from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

ReactFlow Architect Build production-ready ReactFlow applications with hierarchical navigation, performance optimization, and advanced state management.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Core Patterns, Advanced Features, Performance Tools, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Build production-ready ReactFlow applications with hierarchical navigation, performance optimization, and advanced state management.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Core Patterns

Hierarchical Tree Navigation

Build expandable/collapsible tree structures with parent-child relationships.

Node Schema

interface TreeNode extends Node {
  data: {
    label: string;
    level: number;
    hasChildren: boolean;
    isExpanded: boolean;
    childCount: number;
    category: "root" | "category" | "process" | "detail";
  };
}

Incremental Node Building

const buildVisibleNodes = useCallback(
  (allNodes: TreeNode[], expandedIds: Set<string>, otherDeps: any[]) => {
    const visibleNodes = new Map<string, TreeNode>();
    const visibleEdges = new Map<string, TreeEdge>();

    // Start with root nodes
    const rootNodes = allNodes.filter((n) => n.data.level === 0);

    // Recursively add visible nodes
    const addVisibleChildren = (node: TreeNode) => {
      visibleNodes.set(node.id, node);

      if (expandedIds.has(node.id)) {
        const children = allNodes.filter((n) => n.parentNode === node.id);
        children.forEach((child) => addVisibleChildren(child));
      }
    };

    rootNodes.forEach((root) => addVisibleChildren(root));

    return {
      nodes: Array.from(visibleNodes.values()),
      edges: Array.from(visibleEdges.values()),
    };
  },
  [],
);

Performance Optimization

Handle large datasets with incremental rendering and memoization.

Incremental Rendering

const useIncrementalGraph = (
  allNodes: Node[],
  allEdges: Edge[],
  expandedList: string[],
) => {
  const prevExpandedListRef = useRef<Set<string>>(new Set());
  const prevOtherDepsRef = useRef<any[]>([]);

  const { visibleNodes, visibleEdges } = useMemo(() => {
    const currentExpandedSet = new Set(expandedList);
    const prevExpandedSet = prevExpandedListRef.current;

    // Check if expanded list changed
    const expandedChanged = !areSetsEqual(currentExpandedSet, prevExpandedSet);

    // Check if other dependencies changed
    const otherDepsChanged = !arraysEqual(otherDeps, prevOtherDepsRef.current);

    if (expandedChanged && !otherDepsChanged) {
      // Only expanded list changed - incremental update
      return buildIncrementalUpdate(
        cachedVisibleNodesRef.current,
        cachedVisibleEdgesRef.current,
        allNodes,
        allEdges,
        currentExpandedSet,
        prevExpandedSet,
      );
    } else {
      // Full rebuild needed
      return buildFullGraph(allNodes, allEdges, currentExpandedSet);
    }
  }, [allNodes, allEdges, expandedList, ...otherDeps]);

  return { visibleNodes, visibleEdges };
};

Memoization Patterns

// Memoize node components to prevent unnecessary re-renders
const ProcessNode = memo(({ data, selected }: NodeProps) => {
  return (
    <div className={`process-node ${selected ? 'selected' : ''}`}>
      {data.label}
    </div>
  );
}, (prevProps, nextProps) => {
  // Custom comparison function
  return (
    prevProps.data.label === nextProps.data.label &&
    prevProps.selected === nextProps.selected &&
    prevProps.data.isExpanded === nextProps.data.isExpanded
  );
});

// Memoize edge calculations
const styledEdges = useMemo(() => {
  return edges.map(edge => ({
    ...edge,
    style: {
      ...edge.style,
      strokeWidth: selectedEdgeId === edge.id ? 3 : 2,
      stroke: selectedEdgeId === edge.id ? '#3b82f6' : '#94a3b8',
    },
    animated: selectedEdgeId === edge.id,
  }));
}, [edges, selectedEdgeId]);

State Management

Complex node/edge state patterns with undo/redo and persistence.

Reducer Pattern

type GraphAction =
  | { type: "SELECT_NODE"; payload: string }
  | { type: "SELECT_EDGE"; payload: string }
  | { type: "TOGGLE_EXPAND"; payload: string }
  | { type: "UPDATE_NODES"; payload: Node[] }
  | { type: "UPDATE_EDGES"; payload: Edge[] }
  | { type: "UNDO" }
  | { type: "REDO" };

const graphReducer = (state: GraphState, action: GraphAction): GraphState => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case "SELECT_NODE":
      return {
        ...state,
        selectedNodeId: action.payload,
        selectedEdgeId: null,
      };

    case "TOGGLE_EXPAND":
      const newExpanded = new Set(state.expandedNodeIds);
      if (newExpanded.has(action.payload)) {
        newExpanded.delete(action.payload);
      } else {
        newExpanded.add(action.payload);
      }
      return {
        ...state,
        expandedNodeIds: newExpanded,
        isDirty: true,
      };

    default:
      return state;
  }
};

History Management

const useHistoryManager = (
  state: GraphState,
  dispatch: Dispatch<GraphAction>,
) => {
  const canUndo = state.historyIndex > 0;
  const canRedo = state.historyIndex < state.history.length - 1;

  const undo = useCallback(() => {
    if (canUndo) {
      const newIndex = state.historyIndex - 1;
      const historyEntry = state.history[newIndex];

      dispatch({
        type: "RESTORE_FROM_HISTORY",
        payload: {
          ...historyEntry,
          historyIndex: newIndex,
        },
      });
    }
  }, [canUndo, state.historyIndex, state.history]);

  const saveToHistory = useCallback(() => {
    dispatch({ type: "SAVE_TO_HISTORY" });
  }, [dispatch]);

  return { canUndo, canRedo, undo, redo, saveToHistory };
};

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @react-flow-architect to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @react-flow-architect against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @react-flow-architect for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @react-flow-architect using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Imported Usage Notes

Imported: Quick Start

Create basic interactive graph:

import ReactFlow, { Node, Edge } from "reactflow";

const nodes: Node[] = [
  { id: "1", position: { x: 0, y: 0 }, data: { label: "Node 1" } },
  { id: "2", position: { x: 100, y: 100 }, data: { label: "Node 2" } },
];

const edges: Edge[] = [{ id: "e1-2", source: "1", target: "2" }];

export default function Graph() {
  return <ReactFlow nodes={nodes} edges={edges} />;
}

Imported: Complete Example

import React, { useState, useCallback, useMemo, useRef } from 'react';
import ReactFlow, { Node, Edge, useReactFlow } from 'reactflow';
import dagre from 'dagre';
import { debounce } from 'lodash';

interface GraphState {
  nodes: Node[];
  edges: Edge[];
  selectedNodeId: string | null;
  expandedNodeIds: Set<string>;
  history: GraphState[];
  historyIndex: number;
}

export default function InteractiveGraph() {
  const [state, setState] = useState<GraphState>({
    nodes: [],
    edges: [],
    selectedNodeId: null,
    expandedNodeIds: new Set(),
    history: [],
    historyIndex: 0,
  });

  const { fitView } = useReactFlow();
  const layoutCacheRef = useRef<Map<string, Node[]>>(new Map());

  // Memoized styled edges
  const styledEdges = useMemo(() => {
    return state.edges.map(edge => ({
      ...edge,
      style: {
        ...edge.style,
        strokeWidth: state.selectedNodeId === edge.source || state.selectedNodeId === edge.target ? 3 : 2,
        stroke: state.selectedNodeId === edge.source || state.selectedNodeId === edge.target ? '#3b82f6' : '#94a3b8',
      },
      animated: state.selectedNodeId === edge.source || state.selectedNodeId === edge.target,
    }));
  }, [state.edges, state.selectedNodeId]);

  // Debounced layout calculation
  const debouncedLayout = useMemo(
    () => debounce((nodes: Node[], edges: Edge[]) => {
      const cacheKey = generateLayoutCacheKey(nodes, edges);

      if (layoutCacheRef.current.has(cacheKey)) {
        return layoutCacheRef.current.get(cacheKey)!;
      }

      const layouted = applyDagreLayout(nodes, edges);
      layoutCacheRef.current.set(cacheKey, layouted);

      return layouted;
    }, 150),
    []
  );

  const handleNodeClick = useCallback((event: React.MouseEvent, node: Node) => {
    setState(prev => ({
      ...prev,
      selectedNodeId: node.id,
    }));
  }, []);

  const handleToggleExpand = useCallback((nodeId: string) => {
    setState(prev => {
      const newExpanded = new Set(prev.expandedNodeIds);
      if (newExpanded.has(nodeId)) {
        newExpanded.delete(nodeId);
      } else {
        newExpanded.add(nodeId);
      }

      return {
        ...prev,
        expandedNodeIds: newExpanded,
      };
    });
  }, []);

  return (
    <ReactFlow
      nodes={state.nodes}
      edges={styledEdges}
     
      fitView
    />
  );
}

This comprehensive skill provides everything needed to build production-ready ReactFlow applications with hierarchical navigation, performance optimization, and advanced state management patterns.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Use React.memo for node components to prevent unnecessary re-renders
• Implement virtualization for graphs with 1000+ nodes
• Debounce layout calculations during rapid interactions
• Use useCallback for edge creation and manipulation functions
• Implement proper TypeScript types for nodes and edges
• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.

Imported Operating Notes

Imported: Best Practices

Performance Guidelines

1. Use React.memo for node components to prevent unnecessary re-renders
2. Implement virtualization for graphs with 1000+ nodes
3. Debounce layout calculations during rapid interactions
4. Use useCallback for edge creation and manipulation functions
5. Implement proper TypeScript types for nodes and edges

Memory Management

// Use Map for O(1) lookups instead of array.find
const nodesById = useMemo(
  () => new Map(allNodes.map((n) => [n.id, n])),
  [allNodes],
);

// Cache layout results
const layoutCacheRef = useRef<Map<string, Node[]>>(new Map());

// Proper cleanup in useEffect
useEffect(() => {
  return () => {
    // Clean up any lingering references
    nodesMapRef.current.clear();
    edgesMapRef.current.clear();
  };
}, []);

State Optimization

// Use useRef for objects that shouldn't trigger re-renders
const autoSaveDataRef = useRef({
  nodes: [],
  edges: [],
  lastSaved: Date.now(),
});

// Update properties without breaking reference
const updateAutoSaveData = (newNodes: Node[], newEdges: Edge[]) => {
  autoSaveDataRef.current.nodes = newNodes;
  autoSaveDataRef.current.edges = newEdges;
  autoSaveDataRef.current.lastSaved = Date.now();
};

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/react-flow-architect, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Advanced Features

Auto-Layout Integration

Integrate Dagre for automatic graph layout:

import dagre from "dagre";

const layoutOptions = {
  rankdir: "TB", // Top to Bottom
  nodesep: 100, // Node separation
  ranksep: 150, // Rank separation
  marginx: 50,
  marginy: 50,
  edgesep: 10,
};

const applyLayout = (nodes: Node[], edges: Edge[]) => {
  const g = new dagre.graphlib.Graph();
  g.setGraph(layoutOptions);
  g.setDefaultEdgeLabel(() => ({}));

  // Add nodes to graph
  nodes.forEach((node) => {
    g.setNode(node.id, { width: 200, height: 100 });
  });

  // Add edges to graph
  edges.forEach((edge) => {
    g.setEdge(edge.source, edge.target);
  });

  // Calculate layout
  dagre.layout(g);

  // Apply positions
  return nodes.map((node) => ({
    ...node,
    position: {
      x: g.node(node.id).x - 100,
      y: g.node(node.id).y - 50,
    },
  }));
};

// Debounce layout calculations
const debouncedLayout = useMemo(() => debounce(applyLayout, 150), []);

Focus Mode

Isolate selected nodes and their direct connections:

const useFocusMode = (
  selectedNodeId: string,
  allNodes: Node[],
  allEdges: Edge[],
) => {
  return useMemo(() => {
    if (!selectedNodeId) return { nodes: allNodes, edges: allEdges };

    // Get direct connections
    const connectedNodeIds = new Set([selectedNodeId]);
    const focusedEdges: Edge[] = [];

    allEdges.forEach((edge) => {
      if (edge.source === selectedNodeId || edge.target === selectedNodeId) {
        focusedEdges.push(edge);
        connectedNodeIds.add(edge.source);
        connectedNodeIds.add(edge.target);
      }
    });

    // Get connected nodes
    const focusedNodes = allNodes.filter((n) => connectedNodeIds.has(n.id));

    return { nodes: focusedNodes, edges: focusedEdges };
  }, [selectedNodeId, allNodes, allEdges]);
};

// Smooth transitions for focus mode
const focusModeStyles = {
  transition: "all 0.3s ease-in-out",
  opacity: isInFocus ? 1 : 0.3,
  filter: isInFocus ? "none" : "blur(2px)",
};

Search Integration

Search and navigate to specific nodes:

const searchNodes = useCallback((nodes: Node[], query: string) => {
  if (!query.trim()) return [];

  const lowerQuery = query.toLowerCase();
  return nodes.filter(
    (node) =>
      node.data.label.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) ||
      node.data.description?.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery),
  );
}, []);

const navigateToSearchResult = (nodeId: string) => {
  // Expand parent nodes
  const nodePath = calculateBreadcrumbPath(nodeId, allNodes);
  const parentIds = nodePath.slice(0, -1).map((n) => n.id);

  setExpandedIds((prev) => new Set([...prev, ...parentIds]));
  setSelectedNodeId(nodeId);

  // Fit view to node
  fitView({ nodes: [{ id: nodeId }], duration: 800 });
};
