What it does
Tanstack Query Best Practices is an agent skill from DeckardGer/tanstack-agent-skills. TanStack Query (React Query) best practices for data fetching, caching, mutations, and server state management. Activate when building data-driven React applications with server state.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 39 other files (for example `rules/cache-defaults.md`, `rules/cache-gc-time.md` and `rules/cache-invalidation.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Caching and State management. It works with TanStack and React. 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
- Tasks that involve State management
Example prompts
- “/tanstack-query-best-practices”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Explanation — Why this pattern matters
- Bad Example — Anti-pattern to avoid
- Good Example — Recommended implementation
- 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 Query Best Practices loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

TanStack Query Best Practices
Comprehensive guidelines for implementing TanStack Query (React Query) patterns in React applications. These rules optimize data fetching, caching, mutations, and server state synchronization.
When to Apply
- Creating new data fetching logic
- Setting up query configurations
- Implementing mutations and optimistic updates
- Configuring caching strategies
- Integrating with SSR/SSG
- Refactoring existing data fetching code
Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Rules | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Query Keys | 5 rules | Prevents cache bugs and data inconsistencies |
| CRITICAL | Caching | 5 rules | Optimizes performance and data freshness |
| HIGH | Mutations | 6 rules | Ensures data integrity and UI consistency |
| HIGH | Error Handling | 3 rules | Prevents poor user experiences |
| MEDIUM | Prefetching | 4 rules | Improves perceived performance |
| MEDIUM | Parallel Queries | 2 rules | Enables dynamic parallel fetching |
| MEDIUM | Infinite Queries | 3 rules | Prevents pagination bugs |
| MEDIUM | SSR Integration | 4 rules | Enables proper hydration |
| LOW | Performance | 4 rules | Reduces unnecessary re-renders |
| LOW | Offline Support | 2 rules | Enables offline-first patterns |
