vercel-composition-patterns

A set of guidelines for designing React components that can be combined and reused in different ways. It covers compound components, shared context, render props, state separation, and React 19 changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refactoring complex React components, building reusable component libraries, reviewing component architecture, or working with compound components and context providers.
Why use it?
It helps avoid components becoming difficult to change because they contain many separate on/off options, known as boolean props. It gives developers clearer ways to structure flexible component APIs.

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

vercel-composition-patterns 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.

React Composition Patterns

Composition patterns for building flexible, maintainable React components. Avoid boolean prop proliferation by using compound components, lifting state, and composing internals. These patterns make codebases easier for both humans and AI agents to work with as they scale.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Refactoring components with many boolean props
  • Building reusable component libraries
  • Designing flexible component APIs
  • Reviewing component architecture
  • Working with compound components or context providers

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Component Architecture HIGH architecture-
2 State Management MEDIUM state-
3 Implementation Patterns MEDIUM patterns-
4 React 19 APIs MEDIUM react19-

Quick Reference

1. Component Architecture (HIGH)

  • architecture-avoid-boolean-props - Don't add boolean props to customize behavior; use composition
  • architecture-compound-components - Structure complex components with shared context

2. State Management (MEDIUM)

  • state-decouple-implementation - Provider is the only place that knows how state is managed
  • state-context-interface - Define generic interface with state, actions, meta for dependency injection
  • state-lift-state - Move state into provider components for sibling access

3. Implementation Patterns (MEDIUM)

  • patterns-explicit-variants - Create explicit variant components instead of boolean modes
  • patterns-children-over-render-props - Use children for composition instead of renderX props

4. React 19 APIs (MEDIUM)

⚠️ React 19+ only. Skip this section if using React 18 or earlier.

  • react19-no-forwardref - Don't use forwardRef; use use() instead of useContext()

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.
