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 | $0.00021 | $0.00871 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00348 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00174 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
react-patterns 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 1mo 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
97% identical to react-patterns — 1 line 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.

React Patterns
Principles for building production-ready React applications.
1. Component Design Principles
Component Types
| Type | Use | State |
|---|---|---|
| Server | Data fetching, static | None |
| Client | Interactivity | useState, effects |
| Presentational | UI display | Props only |
| Container | Logic/state | Heavy state |
Design Rules
- One responsibility per component
- Props down, events up
- Composition over inheritance
- Prefer small, focused components
2. Hook Patterns
When to Extract Hooks
| Pattern | Extract When |
|---|---|
| useLocalStorage | Same storage logic needed |
| useDebounce | Multiple debounced values |
| useFetch | Repeated fetch patterns |
| useForm | Complex form state |
Hook Rules
- Hooks at top level only
- Same order every render
- Custom hooks start with "use"
- Clean up effects on unmount
3. State Management Selection
| Complexity | Solution |
|---|---|
| Simple | useState, useReducer |
| Shared local | Context |
| Server state | React Query, SWR |
| Complex global | Zustand, Redux Toolkit |
State Placement
| Scope | Where |
|---|---|
| Single component | useState |
| Parent-child | Lift state up |
| Subtree | Context |
| App-wide | Global store |
4. React 19 Patterns
New Hooks
| Hook | Purpose |
|---|---|
| useActionState | Form submission state |
| useOptimistic | Optimistic UI updates |
| use | Read resources in render |
Compiler Benefits
- Automatic memoization
- Less manual useMemo/useCallback
- Focus on pure components
5. Composition Patterns
Compound Components
- Parent provides context
- Children consume context
- Flexible slot-based composition
- Example: Tabs, Accordion, Dropdown
Render Props vs Hooks
| Use Case | Prefer |
|---|---|
| Reusable logic | Custom hook |
| Render flexibility | Render props |
| Cross-cutting | Higher-order component |
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.

react-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivanshtokov/copilot-kit (4 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 871 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to react-patterns, differing in 1 line, and is treated as a copy.
