react-19

react-19 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fusengine/agents. It costs 34 tokens per session (2,082 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to current React features and hooks, including use, useOptimistic, useActionState, useEffectEvent, Activity, and the React Compiler. It also explains changes when moving from React 18 to React 19.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing React 19 features, updating an older React app, handling asynchronous UI updates, or choosing the right built-in hook.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand newer React behavior and avoid using older patterns that no longer match the current API.

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-19 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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Also documents all classic hooks (useState, useEffect, useLayoutEffect, useRef, useImperativeHandle, useMemo, useCallback, useId, useSyncExternalStore) and React 18→19 breaking changes (ref as a prop instead of forwardRef, <Context value={}> instead of <Context.Provider>). This is the core React hooks/features skill — for global state see react-state, for forms see react-forms, and for SOLID architecture rules see solid-react.

React 19.2 Core Features

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing React patterns and component structure
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest React 19.2 docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check use(), useOptimistic, useActionState, Activity patterns

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

What ships with it

44 files 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.
