TanStack Table is a headless table library: it supplies table and datagrid logic while leaving the markup, styling, and components to the application. Developers use it with JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks to build customizable tables with features such as sorting, filtering, grouping, aggregation, and row selection. Its catalogue skills provide version-matched guidance for coding agents working with the library.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00765 | $0.00765 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00306 | $0.00306 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00153 | $0.00153 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
table AGENTS.md 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 1mo 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.

Packages that cannot be upgraded yet
Leave these pins alone during routine dependency bumps. They currently break Ember, the Svelte kitchen-sink types, or are intentionally deferred.
- TypeScript — keep
6.0.3. Do not bump it as part of a general upgrade. - Babel 7 — Ember is not compatible with Babel 8. In
packages/ember-tableand everyexamples/ember/*app, keep@babel/core,@babel/plugin-transform-runtime,@babel/plugin-transform-typescript, and@babel/runtimeat7.29.7.@rollup/plugin-babel7.1.0is the Rollup plugin version, not Babel itself. @dnd-kit/abstractand@dnd-kit/helpers— keep^0.2.3inexamples/svelte/kitchen-sink-shadcn.@dnd-kit-svelte/[email protected]still depends on the 0.2.x line. Bumping to 0.5.x installs a second copy, and TypeScript treats those private-field types as incompatible.- Vitest and
@vitest/coverage-v8— keep the 4.x line (currently^4.1.11and4.1.11).@analogjs/[email protected]and Angular build tooling do not support Vitest 5, which also removes thevitestbenchexport used by the repository benchmarks. Upgrade these together in a separate migration. - Octane — keep
0.1.36. The 0.2.x line fails the adapter conformance test for synchronous owner and isolated controlled updates during a discrete event. - Pacer devtools — keep
@tanstack/react-pacer-devtoolsat0.8.0and@tanstack/solid-pacer-devtoolsat0.7.0. The 0.14.x packages do not exportpacerDevtoolsPlugin, which the Form and Router examples use. @tanstack/preact-form— keep1.30.5in the Preact Form example. The 1.33.x line removescreateFormHookContextsandwithForm, requiring a separate example migration.- Preact — keep
^10.29.8. Preact 11 fails the adapter's hook and SSR tests and the devtools type check. The Store and Query adapters still require Preact 10. Upgrade these together in a separate migration. @tanstack/intent— keep0.4.0. The 0.5 checker compiles TS and JS fences without framework TypeScript configuration or surrounding context. It rejects valid Preact and Lit examples, class-member excerpts, and deliberately wrong examples. Keep the repository's content and annotated-snippet checks enabled while this migration is deferred.
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.
