What it does

With Tanstack Query is an agent skill from octanejs/octane. Compose React Table v9 with TanStack Query for server filtering, sorting, pagination, and infinite data. Load for query-key table state, manual processing boundaries, server rowCount, keepPreviousData, or avoiding duplicated query-result state.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with TanStack and React. The repository describes itself as: React’s programming model, compiled. The successor to Inferno. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/with-tanstack-query”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 40fdefd. 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 (its code samples are typescript).
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

With Tanstack Query loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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.

metadata.type: composition

This skill builds on @tanstack/table-core#client-vs-server, getting-started, and table-state. Query owns fetching/cache; Table owns grid state and receives rows already processed by every manual server stage.

Setup

tsx

import { keepPreviousData, useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'
import { useCreateAtom, useSelector } from '@tanstack/react-store'
import {
  rowPaginationFeature,
  tableFeatures,
  useTable,
} from '@tanstack/react-table'
import type { PaginationState } from '@tanstack/react-table'

const features = tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature })
const emptyRows: Array<{ id: string }> = []

function ServerTable() {
  const paginationAtom = useCreateAtom<PaginationState>({
    pageIndex: 0,
    pageSize: 20,
  })
  const pagination = useSelector(paginationAtom, (value) => value)
  const result = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['people', pagination],
    queryFn: async () =>
      fetch(
        `/api/people?page=${pagination.pageIndex}&size=${pagination.pageSize}`,
      ).then(
        (r) =>
          r.json() as Promise<{
            rows: Array<{ id: string }>
            rowCount: number
          }>,
      ),
    placeholderData: keepPreviousData,
  })
  return useTable({
    features,
    columns,
    data: result.data?.rows ?? emptyRows,
    rowCount: result.data?.rowCount,
    atoms: { pagination: paginationAtom },
    manualPagination: true,
  })
}

Core Patterns

Put every server-owned slice in the key

tsx

const result = useQuery({
  queryKey: ['people', pagination, sorting, columnFilters],
  queryFn: () => fetchPeople({ pagination, sorting, columnFilters }),
})

Feed the query result directly to Table

tsx

const table = useTable({
  features,
  columns,
  data: result.data?.rows ?? emptyRows,
})

Common Mistakes

HIGH Duplicating query rows into state

Wrong:

tsx

useEffect(() => setRows(result.data?.rows ?? []), [result.data])
const table = useTable({ features, columns, data: rows })

Correct:

tsx

const table = useTable({
  features,
  columns,
  data: result.data?.rows ?? emptyRows,
})

The second state layer can lag behind the query cache and creates an extra synchronization path.

Source: examples/react/with-tanstack-query

HIGH Omitting state from the query key

Wrong:

tsx

useQuery({ queryKey: ['people'], queryFn: () => fetchPeople({ pagination }) })

Correct:

tsx

useQuery({
  queryKey: ['people', pagination],
  queryFn: () => fetchPeople({ pagination }),
})

Query otherwise reuses cache entries for different server requests.

Source: examples/react/with-tanstack-query

HIGH Expecting manual mode to fetch

Wrong:

tsx

useTable({ features, columns, data, manualPagination: true })

Correct:

tsx

useTable({
  features,
  columns,
  data: result.data?.rows ?? emptyRows,
  rowCount: result.data?.rowCount,
  manualPagination: true,
})

manualPagination only bypasses client pagination; the application must fetch a processed page and provide its total count.

Source: docs/framework/react/guide/pagination.md

MEDIUM Flashing an empty page during fetch

Wrong:

tsx

useQuery({
  queryKey: ['people', pagination],
  queryFn: () => fetchPeople({ pagination }),
})

Correct:

tsx

useQuery({
  queryKey: ['people', pagination],
  queryFn: () => fetchPeople({ pagination }),
  placeholderData: keepPreviousData,
})

Preserve the previous page intentionally when an empty loading transition is undesirable.

Source: examples/react/with-tanstack-query

API Discovery

Inspect node_modules/@tanstack/react-table/dist/index.d.ts and the relevant core feature source; inspect the installed @tanstack/react-query source for current query option types.
