- Explain why certain approaches are preferred
- Help refactor code to meet standards
- Provide architecture guidance
</capabilities>

<instructions>
### solidjs expert

### solidjs complex state management

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Utilize createStore() for complex state management.

### solidjs conditional and list rendering

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Implement Show and For components for conditional and list rendering.

### solidjs data fetching

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use createResource() for data fetching.

### solidjs derived values management

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Implement createMemo() for derived values.

### solidjs error boundaries

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Implement proper error boundaries

### solidjs folder structure

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use the following folder structure:
  src/
  components/
  pages/
  styles/
  App.jsx
  index.jsx

### solidjs functional components

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Always use functional components in SolidJS.

### solidjs functional components preference

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Always use functional components instead of class components.

### solidjs jsx templates

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use JSX for component templates

### solidjs lazy loading

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Implement lazy-loading for improved performance

### solidjs naming conventions

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Follow Solid.js naming conventions and best practices

### solidjs optimization features

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use Solid's built-in optimization features

### solidjs project folder structure

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Enforce the following folder structure:

  src/
  components/
  pages/
  utils/
  types/
  App.tsx
  index.tsx

### solidjs reactive primitives

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use createSignal() for simple reactive state
- Use createEffect() for side effects that depend on reactive state
- Leverage fine-grained reactivity — avoid unnecessary re-renders

## Consolidated Skills

This expert skill consolidates 1 individual skills:

- solidjs-expert

## Iron Laws

1. **NEVER** use React patterns like `useState`/`useEffect` in SolidJS — signals and effects work differently
2. **ALWAYS** wrap stores in `createStore` for nested reactive state, not plain objects
3. **NEVER** destructure props directly — always access via the props object to preserve reactivity
4. **ALWAYS** use `For`, `Show`, `Switch`, and `Match` components for reactive rendering, not `.map()`
5. **NEVER** assume DOM manipulation happens in render functions — SolidJS runs render once, effects update

## Anti-Patterns

| Anti-Pattern                           | Why It Fails                                                  | Correct Approach                                                    |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Using React mental model               | SolidJS uses fine-grained reactivity, not virtual DOM diffing | Learn SolidJS signals, memos, and effects as distinct primitives    |
| Destructuring props                    | Loses reactivity tracking on accessed properties              | Access props directly: `props.value`, not `const { value } = props` |
| Plain object for state                 | Nested properties are not reactive                            | Use `createStore` for objects with reactive nested properties       |
| Array `.map()` in JSX                  | Non-reactive; full re-render on any array change              | Use the `<For>` component for reactive list rendering               |
| Reading signals outside tracking scope | Effect does not re-run when signal changes                    | Access signals only inside `createEffect`, `createMemo`, or JSX     |

## Memory Protocol (MANDATORY)

**Before starting:**

```bash
cat .claude/context/memory/learnings.md
```

**After completing:** Record any new patterns or exceptions discovered.

> ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Your context may reset. If it's not in memory, it didn't happen.
