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-guide 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.

React Coding Guidelines

Build React interfaces with focused components, explicit state ownership, and predictable effects.

Requirements

  • React ≥ 19, Vite ≥ 6, Tailwind ≥ 4, Headless UI.

React 19 Essentials

  • Server-first - Components run on server by default; add 'use client' only for interactivity
  • Form Actions - Use useActionState and FormData instead of controlled inputs
  • Native metadata - Use <title>, <meta>, <link> anywhere, auto-hoisted to <head>

Quick Reference

Feature React 18 React 19+
Memoization Manual (useMemo, useCallback) React Compiler (automatic)
Forward refs forwardRef() wrapper ref as regular prop
Context provider <Context.Provider value={}> <Context value={}>
Form state Custom useState useActionState hook
Optimistic updates Manual state useOptimistic hook
Read promises Not possible use() hook
Conditional context Not possible use(Context) after conditionals
Form pending Manual tracking useFormStatus hook

Example

// React 19 Form with Actions
"use client";

import {useActionState} from "react";

function ContactForm() {
  const [state, formAction, isPending] = useActionState(
    async (prev, formData) => {
      const result = await submitForm(Object.fromEntries(formData));
      if (result.error) return {error: result.error};
      return {success: true};
    },
    null,
  );

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      <input name="email" type="email" disabled={isPending} />
      <button disabled={isPending}>
        {isPending ? "Submitting..." : "Submit"}
      </button>
      {state?.error && <p className="error">{state.error}</p>}
    </form>
  );
}

// ref as prop (no forwardRef needed)
function Input({ref, ...props}: {ref?: React.Ref<HTMLInputElement>}) {
  return <input ref={ref} {...props} />;
}

// Context as provider
const ThemeContext = createContext("light");

function App({children}) {
  return <ThemeContext value="dark">{children}</ThemeContext>;
}

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.
