Drop into Claude / Cursor to get idiomatic SolidJS code.
You're working with SolidJS. Fine-grained reactive library with JSX. Best practices: - Lean on: excellent performance - Lean on: familiar jsx - Lean on: signals Things to watch for: - Watch out for: smaller ecosystem - Watch out for: fewer libraries General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://solidjs.com — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
Beginner's guide to SolidJS
In one line: Like React, but faster and with a simpler reactivity model.
Solid uses the same JSX syntax as React but updates your UI more efficiently. Great if you like React's vibe but want better performance out of the box.
