tanstack-router

tanstack-router is a cursor rule for Cursor from louisbrulenaudet/monorepo-template. It costs 0 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for TanStack Router, a library for moving between pages in a client-side web application. It covers file-based routes, typed links, search parameters, route loading, and the split between route logic and page interface code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding pages, navigation, URL search parameters, authentication redirects, route preloading, or lazy-loaded page interfaces in a React single-page app.
Why use it?
It prevents inconsistent navigation, hand-edited generated files, duplicated routers, and route files becoming difficult to maintain. It also coordinates route loading with cached server data.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-router 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 2d 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 Router (v1) Rules

Client-side routing only - ignore TanStack Start / SSR / server functions. Depth: skill tanstack-router.

Repo invariants

  • File-based routing via Vite plugin (tanstackRouter before @vitejs/plugin-react). See frontend-architecture.mdc / vite-config.mdc.
  • routeTree.gen.ts is generated and committed - never hand-edit; regenerate via app routes:generate / routes:check. Excluded from OXC.
  • Register the router once (declare module "@tanstack/react-router" { interface Register { router: typeof router } }). One router + one <RouterProvider>. Prefer defaultPreload: "intent" and scrollRestoration: true.
  • Three-layer split: eager src/routes/<path>.tsx (loaders/guards/validateSearch) → src/routes/<path>.lazy.tsx (UI components) → src/pages/<Page>.tsx. Keep route files thin.
  • Typed <Link> / useNavigate() only - no hand-built internal URLs. Search params: validateSearch with a zod v4 schema passed directly (native support - no @tanstack/zod-adapter, never reintroduce it); .catch() fallbacks keep type inference; loaderDeps when loaders depend on search.
  • Auth/redirects in beforeLoad, not render. Throw notFound() from loaders when appropriate.
  • Query integration: queryClient on root context; loaders ensureQueryData(opts); components useSuspenseQuery(opts). Set defaultPreloadStaleTime: 0 so Query staleTime owns freshness (common misconfig). See tanstack-query.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.
