state-management-patterns

state-management-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mickeyyaya/refactoring-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (5,436 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing and reviewing how applications store and update client, server, and session state. It covers patterns such as Redux-style data flow, remote-data caching, optimistic updates, state machines, and cookie or JWT sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing state architecture, reviewing React state code, diagnosing UI data problems, or auditing authentication sessions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent inconsistent interfaces, stale data, race conditions, unnecessary re-renders, and unsafe session handling.

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

state-management-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 9d 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.

State Management Patterns

Overview

Mismanaged state is the root cause of most UI bugs, stale data issues, and security vulnerabilities in web applications. Uncoordinated mutations lead to race conditions, inconsistent UIs, and hard-to-reproduce bugs. Use this guide when designing new state architecture, reviewing pull requests that touch shared state, or diagnosing unexpected re-renders and data consistency issues.

When to use: Designing client or server state architecture; reviewing Redux/Zustand/Context code; evaluating server-state caching strategies; auditing session and authentication implementations; diagnosing UI inconsistency bugs.

Quick Reference

Pattern Core Idea Primary Red Flag
Flux/Redux Unidirectional Single store, actions → reducer → new state Mutating state directly, actions with side effects in reducers
Server State (React Query/SWR) Cache remote data separately from UI state Manually managing loading/error booleans for every fetch
Optimistic Updates Apply change immediately, rollback on failure No rollback path, no error handling after mutation
Finite State Machines Explicit states and transitions (XState) Boolean flag explosion, impossible state combinations
Session Management Secure cookie or JWT with proper flags Missing HttpOnly/Secure flags, session fixation on login
Distributed Session Stores Redis or DB-backed sessions for multi-instance apps In-memory sessions break with multiple server instances
Derived State & Selectors Compute from source of truth, memoize expensive derivations Duplicating state that could be derived, missing memoization
Anti-Patterns Global state abuse, prop drilling, state duplication Everything in a global store, deeply nested prop chains

Patterns in Detail

1. Flux/Redux Unidirectional Data Flow

The core insight of Flux and Redux is that state flows in one direction: action → reducer → store → view. Views dispatch actions; they never mutate state directly.

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.
