ts-state-management

When to Use This Skill

Use when you need to:

• Choose between Redux Toolkit, Zustand, and React Context for a piece of state
• Decide whether state belongs in a client store at all, or in TanStack Query instead
• Migrate state from one of these three to another as requirements grow
• Explain why a component re-renders too often when it consumes Context

Trigger keywords: Redux, Redux Toolkit, RTK, createSlice, Zustand, React Context, useContext, useReducer, global state, client state, prop drilling, state management, Redux DevTools, store, provider, one-shot effect, toast fired twice, effect replay, useEffect runs twice, StrictMode double invoke, navigation state replay.

Freshness rule: Redux Toolkit's recommended patterns (RTK Query, createSlice defaults) and Zustand's API have both shifted across major versions — recheck each library's own docs before starting a new store.
