Validate the diagnostic

Confirm the reported code matches this rule before you edit it.

Confirm the reported code matches react-doctor/no-pill-navigation-count. Compare it with the Before example and verify the same API, framework, and execution context. Treat it as a false positive only when one of those conditions differs.

Compare the code

The corrected pattern shows a focused way to address the diagnostic.

Reported pattern

const Sidebar = () => (
  <nav>
    <a href="/inbox">
      Inbox <span className="rounded-full bg-gray-200 px-2">12</span>
    </a>
  </nav>
);

Corrected pattern

const Sidebar = () => (
  <nav>
    <a href="/inbox">
      Inbox <span className="tabular-nums">12</span>
    </a>
  </nav>
);

How to fix

Use the corrected pattern as a reference. Preserve behavior that the rule does not require you to change.

Copyable fix prompt

Copy this self-contained prompt into your coding agent after you confirm the diagnostic.

Fix every confirmed react-doctor/no-pill-navigation-count diagnostic in the current repository. Required change: - Align navigation counts as plain tabular text instead of decorating each value as a pill.

Reference transformation:Before:

const Sidebar = () => (
  <nav>
    <a href="/inbox">
      Inbox <span className="rounded-full bg-gray-200 px-2">12</span>
    </a>
  </nav>
);

After:

const Sidebar = () => (
  <nav>
    <a href="/inbox">
      Inbox <span className="tabular-nums">12</span>
    </a>
  </nav>
);

Constraints: - Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern. - Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause. - Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic. - Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions. - Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations. - Use existing brand assets, product facts, content, and design tokens. - Do not invent claims, customer data, typefaces, or artwork. - Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly. - Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code. Verification: - Run focused tests for the changed behavior. - Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears. - Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.

More Maintainability rules from the rules reference:

react-doctor/no-placeholder-persona-copy: Page renders a placeholder persona
react-doctor/no-polymorphic-children: Expose explicit subcomponents (`<Button.Text>`, `<Button.Icon>`) so consumers don't need to switch on `typeof children`
react-doctor/no-prop-types: Move propTypes to TypeScript types: `type Props = { value: number }; function Component(props: Props)` — React 19 ignores runtime propTypes
react-doctor/no-pulsing-status-dot: Decorative status dot pulses continuously
react-doctor/no-pure-black-background: Tint the background slightly toward your brand hue — e.g. `#0a0a0f` or Tailwind's `bg-gray-950`. Pure black looks harsh on modern displays
