Hooks Patterns

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: architecture  ·  Last updated:
Use when reasoning about React Hooks as a discipline: when a render is the right shape for state, why the Rules of Hooks exist as a compile-time invariant, how the dependency array encodes a contract between closure and rerender, when useEffect is the wrong primitive, the distinction between derived state and stored state, when to extract a custom hook, and when memoization (useMemo, useCallback) is a footgun rather than a fix. Covers React 18+ semantics including automatic batching and concurrent rendering. Do NOT use for general React rendering models (use rendering-models), for the client/server boundary (use client-server-boundary), for component composition (use component-architecture), or for state location decisions across the application (use state-management).

What this skill does

Hooks Patterns is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hooks-patterns/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
