react-patterns

A set of standards for building and reviewing React user-interface components and hooks with TypeScript. React is a JavaScript library for creating interfaces, while TypeScript adds type checking to JavaScript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating React components or custom hooks, choosing between local and shared state, improving performance, or reviewing React code.
Why use it?
It gives components a consistent structure and helps avoid unclear responsibilities, unsafe props, misplaced hooks, and unsuitable state choices.

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-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 2d 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.

React Patterns Skill

React + TypeScript standards and best practices.

When to Apply

  • Creating new React components
  • Implementing custom hooks
  • State management decisions
  • Performance optimization
  • Code review for React code

Component Standards

Component Structure Rules

Rule Description
Functional only Use function components, no class components
TypeScript props Define Props interface for all components
Single responsibility One component = one purpose
Max 200 lines Split larger components into sub-components

Component Organization

Section Order
1. Imports Types first, then libraries, then local
2. Props interface Define before component
3. Hooks All hooks at top of function
4. Handlers Event handlers after hooks
5. Effects useEffect after handlers
6. Return JSX at the end

Hook Standards

Built-in Hooks Usage

Hook Use When Avoid When
useState Local component state Shared state (use Zustand)
useEffect Side effects, subscriptions Derived state (use useMemo)
useMemo Expensive calculations Simple values
useCallback Callbacks passed to children Inline handlers
useRef DOM refs, mutable values State that triggers renders

Custom Hook Guidelines

Guideline Description
Prefix with use useFeatureName, useDataFetching
Return object { data, loading, error }
Single responsibility One hook = one purpose
Reusable Extract when logic repeats 2+ times

TypeScript Requirements

Type Import Rules

Rule Example
Use import type import type { Props } from './types'
Use export type export type { ButtonProps }
Centralize types All types in types/index.ts
No any Use unknown or proper types

Props Typing Standards

Standard Description
Interface for props interface Props { ... }
Optional with ? title?: string
Children explicit children: React.ReactNode
Events typed onClick: (e: React.MouseEvent) => void

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 komluk/scaffolding (15 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,374 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.
