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

react 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.

What it actually says

Component Structure

Function components only (never class), function declaration syntax (function Component() {}), no explicit return types (inferred), props use object destructuring, RORO for regular functions only (see @.cursor/rules/base/typescript.mdc)

Component Organization

One component per file (if stateful), stateless components can share file, inline tiny single-use components in JSX

State Management Decision Tree

  1. URL-shareable UI → nuqs (filters/search/tabs/pagination/view preferences)
  2. Grouped state not in URL → useSetState from ahooks (forms/ephemeral UI)
  3. Loading/error from async → TanStack Query built-in (isLoading/isError/isFetching)
  4. Simple independent → useState (rare)

Rendering Optimization

Memoization

Default: avoid. React 19.2.3 + modern engines handle most cases. See @.cursor/rules/frontend/react-hooks.mdc

Concurrent Rendering

Transitions (useTransition/startTransition): Non-urgent updates (search/filter inputs, tab switching, heavy state updates)

Deferred Values (useDeferredValue): Defer expensive computations (filtering/computation). Only use useMemo with it if genuinely expensive

Suspense: Wrap async ops. Server: automatic via loading.tsx. Client: manual boundaries. Use multiple for independent streaming

Error Boundaries

Use react-error-boundary with @repo/error. Use for app/section/feature-level, third-party component errors. Not for event handlers (try/catch with captureError), async code (try/catch), SSR errors

Client Boundaries

Avoid *-client.tsx wrapper files that only re-export a component with next/dynamic or ssr: false. Prefer regular client components ('use client') imported directly from server components, and reserve next/dynamic for heavy or truly conditional code-splitting scenarios.

Changes

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.
