What it does

Tanstack Integration Best Practices is an agent skill from DeckardGer/tanstack-agent-skills. Best practices for integrating TanStack Query with TanStack Router and TanStack Start. Patterns for full-stack data flow, SSR, and caching coordination.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `rules/cache-single-source.md`, `rules/flow-loader-query-pattern.md` and `rules/setup-query-client-context.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Caching. It works with TanStack. The repository describes itself as: TanStack Agent Skills: Best practices for TanStack Query, Router, and Start for AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Caching

Example prompts

  • “/tanstack-integration-best-practices”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Explanation — Why this pattern matters
  2. Bad Example — Anti-pattern to avoid
  3. Good Example — Recommended implementation
  4. Context — When to apply or skip this rule

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b2fc14c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tanstack Integration Best Practices loads about 644 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~644

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Best practices for integrating TanStack Query with TanStack Router and TanStack Start. Patterns for full-stack data flow, SSR, and caching coordination.

TanStack Integration Best Practices

Guidelines for integrating TanStack Query, Router, and Start together effectively. These patterns ensure optimal data flow, caching coordination, and type safety across the stack.

When to Apply

  • Setting up a new TanStack Start project
  • Integrating TanStack Query with TanStack Router
  • Configuring SSR with query hydration
  • Coordinating caching between router and query
  • Setting up type-safe data fetching patterns

Rule Categories by Priority

PriorityCategoryRulesImpact
CRITICALSetup3 rulesFoundational configuration
CRITICALSSR Integration1 ruleRouter + Query SSR setup
HIGHData Flow4 rulesCorrect data fetching patterns
MEDIUMCaching3 rulesPerformance optimization
MEDIUMSSR2 rulesAdditional SSR patterns

Quick Reference

Setup (Prefix: setup-)
  • setup-query-client-context — Pass QueryClient through router context
  • setup-provider-wrapping — Correctly wrap with QueryClientProvider
  • setup-stale-time-coordination — Coordinate staleTime between router and query
Data Flow (Prefix: flow-)
  • flow-loader-query-pattern — Use loaders with ensureQueryData
  • flow-suspense-query-component — Use useSuspenseQuery in components
  • flow-mutations-invalidation — Coordinate mutations with query invalidation
  • flow-server-functions-queries — Use server functions for query functions
Caching (Prefix: cache-)
  • cache-single-source — Let TanStack Query manage caching
  • cache-preload-coordination — Coordinate preloading between router and query
  • cache-invalidation-patterns — Unified invalidation patterns
SSR Integration (Prefix: ssr-)
  • ssr-dehydrate-hydrate — Use setupRouterSsrQueryIntegration for automatic SSR
Additional SSR (Prefix: ssr-)
  • ssr-per-request-client — Create QueryClient per request
  • ssr-streaming-queries — Handle streaming with queries

How to Use

Each rule file in the rules/ directory contains:

  1. Explanation — Why this pattern matters
  2. Bad Example — Anti-pattern to avoid
  3. Good Example — Recommended implementation
  4. Context — When to apply or skip this rule

Full Reference

See individual rule files in rules/ directory for detailed guidance and code examples.
