coding-styleguide-react

A set of rules for writing React code, the JavaScript library used to build user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing React components, their file structure, state handling, effects, and Storybook stories.
Why use it?
It helps keep React components consistent and avoids unnecessary state, effects, and performance code.

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

coding-styleguide-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 yesterday.

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

React

  • Use arrow functions for components
  • Inline component props next to the component prop argument
  • File order (MUST): put the main component (and its exported API) first; keep local helpers, secondary types, and minor constants below it — same rule as the JS/TS styleguide
  • Derive state where possible
  • Avoid unnecessary useState and useEffect
  • Use useEffect only when synchronizing with external systems (for example browser APIs, subscriptions, timers, network interactions)
  • Keep effects small, deterministic, and cleanup-safe
  • Avoid useMemo and useCallback unless its absolutely necessary
  • Create a story for each React component if Storybook is used
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.

coding-styleguide-react is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository peerigon/configs (4 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 172 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
