react

A set of guidelines for developing React components and applications with hooks, TypeScript, reusable composition, and common interface states.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for structuring components, managing state, defining props, handling errors, loading routes or dependencies lazily, and reducing unnecessary re-renders.
Why use it?
It helps developers make React code easier to reuse and maintain while handling loading, errors, empty results, and performance concerns.

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

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 Component Standards

Component Architecture

  • Use functional components with React hooks for all new components
  • Implement proper TypeScript interfaces for all component props
  • Use React.memo for performance optimization when components have expensive renders
  • Prefer composition over inheritance for component reusability

State Management

  • Use useState for local component state
  • Use useReducer for complex state logic with multiple sub-values
  • Implement custom hooks to encapsulate and reuse stateful logic
  • Avoid prop drilling; use Context API for deeply nested state sharing

Error Handling

  • Implement Error Boundaries for graceful error handling in component trees
  • Handle loading, error, and empty states appropriately in data-fetching components
  • Use React Suspense for code splitting and lazy loading
  • Provide meaningful error messages and fallback UI for users

Performance Best Practices

  • Use useCallback and useMemo hooks to prevent unnecessary re-renders
  • Implement lazy loading for route components and heavy dependencies
  • Optimize bundle size by importing only needed modules from libraries
  • Profile component performance regularly with React Developer Tools
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.

react is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ssakone/crossrule (4 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 238 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.
