# TanStack Start RSC Skill

Portable skill for **TanStack Start React Server Components**.

This repo is the **skill folder itself**. That is intentional. It means people can use it however they already work:

- install it with `npx skills`
- symlink or copy it into a local Claude Code or Codex skills directory
- zip it and upload it to Cursor
- hand the repo or zip to another agent and tell it to install it

The skill is built for real TanStack Start RSC work, not for reciting docs:

- primitive choice: `renderServerComponent` vs `createCompositeComponent` vs low-level Flight APIs
- cache ownership: Router vs Query vs HTTP/server cache
- refresh wiring: `router.invalidate()` vs Query invalidation vs HTTP revalidation
- Composite Components and slot design
- SSR mode selection, loader boundaries, and stale API cleanup

## The fast answer

### Do I need to connect this repo to skills.sh?

No.

If this repo is on GitHub, people can install it directly with `npx skills add <owner>/<repo>`. The Skills CLI accepts GitHub shorthand, full GitHub URLs, direct paths inside repos, and local paths. `skills.sh` is the public discovery directory for the ecosystem, but it is **not required** for installation.

### Does this repo already work with `npx skills`?

Yes.

The CLI looks for valid `SKILL.md` files in the repo root as well as common skill directories. This repo keeps `SKILL.md` at the root, so `npx skills add CodingCossack/tanstack-start-rsc-skill` is enough once the repo is published.

## Pick the install path that matches how you work

Important distinction:

- `global` means global for a specific agent, such as Claude Code or Codex
- there is no single universal skill directory shared by every harness
- if you want one command that installs globally across multiple supported agents, use `npx skills` and target those agents explicitly

### 1. I want the easiest install and easiest updates

Use the Skills CLI.

From GitHub:

```bash
npx skills add CodingCossac
