Custom hook patterns and best practices

We split this sim-hooks.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep only UI/orchestration state in these hooks

    line 48

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,350 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# Hook Patterns

## Structure

For server data, use a React Query hook from `hooks/queries/` — do NOT `useState` + `fetch` here (see `.claude/rules/sim-queries.md`). This pattern is for UI/orchestration hooks that hold UI-only state and wrap callbacks.

```typescript
interface UseFeatureProps {
  id: string
  onSelect?: (item: Item) => void
}

export function useFeature({ id, onSelect }: UseFeatureProps) {
  // 1. Refs for stable dependencies
  const idRef = useRef(id)
  const onSelectRef = useRef(onSelect)

  // 2. UI-only state (never server data)
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)

  // 3. Sync refs
  useEffect(() => {
    idRef.current = id
    onSelectRef.current = onSelect
  }, [id, onSelect])

  // 4. Operations (useCallback with empty deps when using refs)
  const select = useCallback((item: Item) => {
    onSelectRef.current?.(item)
    setIsOpen(false)
  }, [])

  return { isOpen, setIsOpen, select }
}
```

## Rules

1. Single responsibility per hook
2. Props interface required
3. Refs for stable callback dependencies
4. Wrap returned functions in useCallback
5. Server data goes through React Query (`hooks/queries/`), never `useState` + `fetch`
6. Keep only UI/orchestration state in these hooks

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
