react-state-and-effects-discipline
Discipline React state, derived data, effects, refs, reducers, context, and event handlers. Use when components have duplicated state, unnecessary useEffect, prop-to-state syncing, stale closures, event logic in effects, external subscriptions, DOM integration, network sync, or complex UI state.
npx skills add TheGoat395/Codex-Skills --skill react-state-and-effects-discipline --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the react-state-and-effects-discipline skill do?
Discipline React state, derived data, effects, refs, reducers, context, and event handlers. Use when components have duplicated state, unnecessary useEffect, prop-to-state syncing, stale closures, event logic in effects, external subscriptions, DOM integration, network sync, or complex UI state.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add TheGoat395/Codex-Skills --skill react-state-and-effects-discipline --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From TheGoat395/Codex-Skills, a repository with 115 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
