tanstack-query

tanstack-query is a cursor rule for Cursor from louisbrulenaudet/monorepo-template. It costs 0 tokens per session (400 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for using TanStack Query v5, a library that fetches and caches data from servers in client-side applications. It defines how queries, mutations, validation, cache keys, and the shared query client should be organized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing server-data fetching in a React single-page app, including query definitions, mutations, cache updates, and development tools.
Why use it?
It prevents duplicated fetching logic, inconsistent cache behavior, unsafe response handling, and multiple query clients being created by mistake.

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

tanstack-query 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 15d 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

TanStack Query (v5)

TanStack Query owns all server state (react.mdc). Depth: skill tanstack-query. Client SPA: ignore SSR, dehydrate, HydrationBoundary.

  • Define queries with queryOptions() in src/services/worker-api/<feature>-query-options.ts next to <feature>.ts, and reuse that object for useQuery / useSuspenseQuery / queryClient.query / setQueryData; never inline { queryKey, queryFn } at a call site.
  • Keys sit under the backend namespace, hierarchical (['worker-api', …]) and JSON-serializable; promote to a key factory once a feature has several related queries.
  • queryFn delegates to fetchJsonWithSchema, which forwards signal, throws on non-OK, and validates with the shared Zod schema - never as T.
  • createQueryClient sets retry: false on purpose: a failure surfaces at once with its request id, and a query that should retry sets retry in its own queryOptions.
  • Mutations invalidate with invalidateQueries by default; the full optimistic ritual (cancelQueries → snapshot → setQueryData → rollback → invalidateQueries) only when needed.
  • Warm route loaders with queryClient.query({ ...opts, staleTime: "static" }); ensureQueryData / fetchQuery / prefetchQuery are deprecated since 5.102 (tanstack-router.mdc).

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.
