nextjs-tanstack-query

nextjs-tanstack-query is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fusengine/agents. It costs 35 tokens per session (862 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-fetching and caching guide for Next.js applications using TanStack Query, a library for loading, storing, and refreshing server data in the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cached client-side requests, server-side preloading, optimistic updates, infinite scrolling, and pagination.
Why use it?
It helps keep fetched data current and makes updates, pagination, and loading data on the server and browser easier to coordinate.

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

nextjs-tanstack-query 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Covers serializable query keys, staleTime tuning on prefetched queries to avoid immediate refetch, cache invalidation with invalidateQueries after writes, infinite scrolling/pagination, and DevTools setup gated to development only. Does not cover the Server Component boundary itself (nextjs-server-components) or core Next.js caching primitives like use cache (nextjs-16) — this skill is specifically about TanStack Query's client-side cache layer.

TanStack Query for Next.js

TanStack Query v5 provides powerful server state management with Next.js 16 integration.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing data fetching patterns
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest TanStack Query v5 docs
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check TanStack Query + Next.js patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.


Overview

When to Use

  • Client-side data fetching with caching and revalidation
  • Server-side prefetching with hydration to client
  • Optimistic updates for mutations
  • Infinite scrolling and pagination
  • Real-time data synchronization

Why TanStack Query

Feature Benefit
Server prefetching Data ready on first render, no loading flash
Automatic caching Deduplication, stale-while-revalidate
Mutations Optimistic updates, rollback on error
DevTools Visual cache inspection
TypeScript-first Full type inference

Critical Rules

  1. One QueryClient per request - Create in Server Component, share via context
  2. Prefetch in Server Components - Use prefetchQuery for SSR data
  3. HydrationBoundary required - Wrap client tree to transfer server cache
  4. Query keys must be serializable - Arrays of strings/numbers only
  5. staleTime on prefetched queries - Prevent immediate refetch on mount
  6. Never use queryClient in Client Components directly - Use hooks

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.
