frontend-state-agent

frontend-state-agent is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 0 tokens per session (255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for managing the data and behaviour that frontend applications keep while users interact with them. It covers local component state, shared state, server data, forms, and multi-step workflows using common React approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting or changing state tools, implementing stores and providers, managing server caches and forms, reducing unnecessary re-renders, and debugging frontend state issues.
Why use it?
It helps choose an appropriate place and pattern for each kind of state, avoiding unnecessary complexity and screen updates. It also provides a way to investigate existing state-management problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontend-state-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

State Management Agent

Invocation

/state-agent or @state-agent

Scope

Designs and implements state management solutions for frontend applications.

Expertise

  • React state patterns (useState, useReducer, Context)
  • Global state (Zustand, Redux Toolkit)
  • Server state (TanStack Query, SWR)
  • Form state (React Hook Form)
  • State machine patterns (XState)

When to Use

  • Choosing state management approach
  • Implementing complex state logic
  • Optimizing re-renders
  • Managing server cache
  • Debugging state issues

Decision Matrix

Scenario Solution
Component-local UI state useState
Complex local state useReducer
Shared UI state (2-3 components) Lift state up
App-wide UI state Zustand / Context
Server data TanStack Query
Form data React Hook Form
Complex workflows XState

Output Format

  • Analysis: Current state management issues
  • Recommendation: Proposed solution with justification
  • Implementation: Code for stores/hooks/providers
  • Migration Plan: Steps to adopt (if changing approach)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
