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 | $0.00088 | $0.01345 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00538 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00269 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00135 |
Grade A, and why
react-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 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.

React Best Practices
Performance optimization guide for client-side React applications. Contains 47 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact. Adapted from Vercel Engineering's guidelines, filtered for client-only React + Vite (no Next.js / SSR).
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new React components or hooks
- Reviewing code for performance issues
- Refactoring existing React code
- Optimizing bundle size or render performance
- Writing or reviewing

Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eliminating Waterfalls | CRITICAL | async- |
| 2 | Bundle Size Optimization | CRITICAL | bundle- |
| 3 | Client-Side Data Fetching | MEDIUM-HIGH | client- |
| 4 | Re-render Optimization | MEDIUM | rerender- |
| 5 | useEffect Patterns | MEDIUM | useeffect- |
| 6 | Rendering Performance | MEDIUM | rendering- |
| 7 | JavaScript Performance | LOW-MEDIUM | js- |
| 8 | Advanced Patterns | LOW | advanced- |
Quick Reference
1. Eliminating Waterfalls (CRITICAL)
async-defer-await— Move await into branches where actually usedasync-parallel— Use Promise.all() for independent operationsasync-dependencies— Use promise chaining for partial dependenciesasync-api-routes— Start promises early, await late
2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)
bundle-barrel-imports— Import directly, avoid barrel filesbundle-conditional— Load modules only when feature is activatedbundle-defer-third-party— Load analytics/logging after mountbundle-preload— Preload on hover/focus for perceived speed
3. Client-Side Data Fetching (MEDIUM-HIGH)
client-event-listeners— Deduplicate global event listenersclient-passive-event-listeners— Use passive listeners for scroll/touchclient-swr-dedup— Use SWR for automatic request deduplicationclient-localstorage-schema— Version and minimize localStorage data

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-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository poteto/noodle (529 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,345 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
