93-state-management

A set of coding rules for managing application state with Zustand, Redux, or React Context. Application state is data that changes while a program runs, such as a signed-in user or a loading status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing React stores and state files, especially authentication state and asynchronous actions.
Why use it?
It gives state-related files a consistent structure for data, actions, loading states, errors, persistence, and debugging.

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

93-state-management 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to 93-state-management — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

🔄 State Management Rules

Auto-activated for store and state files.

Store Structure (Zustand)

// stores/useAuthStore.ts
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { devtools, persist } from 'zustand/middleware';

interface AuthState {
  // State
  user: User | null;
  isLoading: boolean;
  error: string | null;
  
  // Actions
  login: (credentials: Credentials) => Promise<void>;
  logout: () => void;
  clearError: () => void;
}

export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>()(
  devtools(
    persist(
      (set, get) => ({
        // Initial state
        user: null,
        isLoading: false,
        error: null,
        
        // Actions
        login: async (credentials) => {
          set({ isLoading: true, error: null });
          try {
            const user = await authApi.login(credentials);
            set({ user, isLoading: false });
          } catch (error) {
            set({ error: error.message, isLoading: false });
          }
        },
        
        logout: () => {
          set({ user: null });
        },
        
        clearError: () => set({ error: null }),
      }),
      { name: 'auth-storage' }
    ),
    { name: 'AuthStore' }
  )
);

Rules

1. Store Separation

stores/
├── useAuthStore.ts      # Authentication
├── useUIStore.ts        # UI state (modals, toasts)
├── useCartStore.ts      # Shopping cart
└── index.ts             # Re-exports

2. State Shape (STRICT)

// ✅ GOOD: Normalized state
interface ProductsState {
  byId: Record<string, Product>;
  allIds: string[];
  isLoading: boolean;
}

// ❌ BAD: Nested arrays
interface ProductsState {
  products: Product[];          // Hard to update individual items
  categories: Category[];       // Duplicated data
}

3. Selector Pattern

// ✅ Create selectors for computed state
export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>()(...);

// Selectors (outside store)
export const selectUser = (state: AuthState) => state.user;
export const selectIsAuthenticated = (state: AuthState) => !!state.user;
export const selectUserRole = (state: AuthState) => state.user?.role;

// Usage
const user = useAuthStore(selectUser);
const isAuthenticated = useAuthStore(selectIsAuthenticated);

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.
