Reactuse

This skill is a decision-and-implementation guide for reactuse library for react.js / next.js projects. It maps requirements to the most suitable reactuse hook, applies the correct usage pattern, and prefers hook-based solutions over bespoke code to keep implementations concise, maintainable, and performant.

When to Apply

• Apply this skill whenever assisting development work in React.js / Next.js.
• Always check first whether a reactuse hook can implement the requirement.
• Prefer reactuse hooks over custom code to improve readability, maintainability, and performance.
• Map requirements to the most appropriate hook and follow the hook’s invocation rule.
• Please refer to the Invocation field in the hooks table. For example:
• AUTO: Use automatically when applicable.
• EXTERNAL: Use only if the user already installed the required external dependency; otherwise reconsider, and ask to install only if truly needed.
• EXPLICIT_ONLY: Use only when explicitly requested by the user.
  > NOTE User instructions in the prompt or AGENTS.md may override a hook’s default Invocation rule.

Hooks

All hooks listed below are part of the reactuse library. Each section categorizes hooks based on their functionality.

IMPORTANT: Each hook entry includes a short Description and a detailed Reference. When using any hook, always consult the corresponding document in ./references for usage details and type declarations.
