Validate the diagnostic

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

Confirm the reported code matches react-doctor/no-repeated-section-shells. 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 Page = () => (
  <main>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Intro</div>
    </section>
    <section className="py-24">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Features</div>
    </section>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Pricing</div>
    </section>
  </main>
);

Corrected pattern

const Page = () => (
  <main>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Intro</div>
    </section>
    <section className="grid min-h-dvh">Features</section>
    <section className="px-6">Pricing</section>
  </main>
);

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-repeated-section-shells diagnostic in the current repository. Required change: - Vary section composition and rhythm instead of wrapping every block in the same large padding and centered max-width container.

Reference transformation:Before:

const Page = () => (
  <main>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Intro</div>
    </section>
    <section className="py-24">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Features</div>
    </section>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Pricing</div>
    </section>
  </main>
);

After:

const Page = () => (
  <main>
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-6xl">Intro</div>
    </section>
    <section className="grid min-h-dvh">Features</section>
    <section className="px-6">Pricing</section>
  </main>
);

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.

react-doctor/no-side-tab-border: Use a subtler accent (box-shadow inset, background gradient, or border-bottom) instead of a thick one-sided border
