Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.02144 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.01072 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00429 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00214 |
Grade A, and why
r3f-best-practices 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to r3f-best-practices — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new R3F components
- Optimizing R3F performance (re-renders are the #1 issue)
- Using Drei helpers correctly
- Managing state with Zustand
- Implementing post-processing or physics
Ecosystem Coverage
- @react-three/fiber - React renderer for Three.js
- @react-three/drei - Useful helpers and abstractions
- @react-three/postprocessing - Post-processing effects
- @react-three/rapier - Physics engine
- zustand - State management
- leva - Debug GUI

What ships with it
8 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.
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.

r3f-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository GuitarAlchemist/ga (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 2,144 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to r3f-best-practices, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
