react-you-might-not-need-an-effect

react-you-might-not-need-an-effect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from azu/claude-code-plugins. It costs 46 tokens per session (611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing React components without unnecessary useEffect calls. useEffect is a React feature for synchronizing a component with something outside its normal rendering process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or editing React components to choose simpler patterns for derived values, state resets, event handling, shared logic, refs, and data flow.
Why use it?
It avoids storing values that can be calculated during rendering, chaining state updates, or putting user-event logic in effects, which can make components harder to follow and cause extra updates.

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-you-might-not-need-an-effect 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 5d 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

React: You Might Not Need an Effect

React公式ドキュメント「You Might Not Need an Effect」に基づき、不要なuseEffectを書かないようにする。

Instructions

Reactコンポーネントを書く・編集する際、useEffectを使う前に以下のパターンに該当しないか確認する。該当する場合はuseEffectを使わない代替案を採用する。

検出すべき12のアンチパターン

詳細は PATTERNS.md を参照。

React公式ドキュメントのパターン
パターン 問題 解決策
導出状態 propsやstateから計算可能な値をstateで管理 レンダリング時に計算
高コスト計算 useEffectでキャッシュ useMemoを使用
propsでstate全体リセット useEffectでリセット keyを使用
props変更で一部state調整 useEffectで調整 レンダリング中に調整
イベントハンドラ処理 useEffectでAPIコール イベントハンドラで直接処理
ロジック共有 useEffectで共通処理 関数を抽出して共有
状態の連鎖更新 useEffectのチェーン イベントハンドラで一括更新
ESLintプラグイン追加パターン
パターン 問題 解決策
内部stateを親に渡す useEffectでstateを親コールバックに渡す stateを親にリフトアップ
外部データを親に渡す useEffectでフェッチデータを親に渡す 親でデータ取得
refを親に渡す useEffectでref.currentを親に渡す forwardRefを使用
state初期化 useEffect内でリテラル値でstate設定 useStateの初期値で指定
空のuseEffect 中身が空のuseEffect 削除する

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
