install-start

install-start is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from foxted/rsc-boundary. It costs 66 tokens per session (936 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An installation guide for adding RSC Boundary to a TanStack Start application. RSC Boundary is a development tool for showing where React Server Components run on the server or in the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding RSC Boundary to a TanStack Start or TanStack Router project, including projects managed as a monorepo, where several packages share one codebase.
Why use it?
It removes the setup work of installing the package and placing its provider in the app's root route. It also covers older dependencies and workspace-based development.

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

install-start 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 7d 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.

Install RSC Boundary in a TanStack Start app

Package: @rsc-boundary/start on npm.

Prerequisites

  • @tanstack/react-start 1+
  • React 19+ and react-dom 19+ (peer dependencies)

If versions are older, say so and recommend upgrading before installing.

1. Install the dependency

Use the project's package manager:

pnpm add @rsc-boundary/start
npm install @rsc-boundary/start
yarn add @rsc-boundary/start

Monorepo / local development

If the user is working inside this repository and consuming the package from the workspace, use the workspace protocol:

"@rsc-boundary/start": "workspace:*"

Ensure the packages are built (pnpm --filter @rsc-boundary/start build, which also builds core) before the app typechecks against dist/.

2. Add the provider to the root route

Edit the root route file (app/routes/__root.tsx).

  1. Import the provider:

    import { RscBoundaryProvider } from "@rsc-boundary/start";
    
  2. Wrap <Outlet /> (or {children}) inside <body> with <RscBoundaryProvider>.

Minimal pattern:

import { RscBoundaryProvider } from "@rsc-boundary/start";
import { Outlet, createRootRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router";
import { Meta, Scripts } from "@tanstack/react-start";

export const Route = createRootRoute({
  component: RootComponent,
});

function RootComponent() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <Meta />
      </head>
      <body>
        <RscBoundaryProvider>
          <Outlet />
        </RscBoundaryProvider>
        <Scripts />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Preserve existing structure: <ScrollRestoration />, <Scripts />, <Meta />, and any other layout UI stay as they are—only add the provider around the main content as appropriate.

3. Behavior to set expectations

  • Development: A small control (pill) appears in the bottom-left; toggling it highlights client vs server regions. No changes are required in individual route components.
  • Production: The provider is a no-op (children only). Devtools never mount in production builds.

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.

install-start is a skill published in the GitHub repository foxted/rsc-boundary (126 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 936 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
