Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/gentleman-programming/gentleman-skills --skill zustand-5
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads zustand-5 automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Basic Store

import { create } from "zustand";

interface CounterStore {
  count: number;
  increment: () => void;
  decrement: () => void;
  reset: () => void;
}

const useCounterStore = create<CounterStore>((set) => ({
  count: 0,
  increment: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
  decrement: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count - 1 })),
  reset: () => set({ count: 0 }),
}));

// Usage
function Counter() {
  const { count, increment, decrement } = useCounterStore();
  return (
    <div>
      <span>{count}</span>
      <button onClick={increment}>+</button>
      <button onClick={decrement}>-</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Persist Middleware

import { create } from "zustand";
import { persist } from "zustand/middleware";

interface SettingsStore {
  theme: "light" | "dark";
  language: string;
  setTheme: (theme: "light" | "dark") => void;
  setLanguage: (language: string) => void;
}

const useSettingsStore = create<SettingsStore>()(
  persist(
    (set) => ({
      theme: "light",
      language: "en",
      setTheme: (theme) => set({ theme }),
      setLanguage: (language) => set({ language }),
    }),
    {
      name: "settings-storage",  // localStorage key
    }
  )
);

Selectors (Zustand 5)

// ✅ Select specific fields to prevent unnecessary re-renders
function UserName() {
  const name = useUserStore((state) => state.name);
  return <span>{name}</span>;
}

// ✅ For multiple fields, use useShallow
import { useShallow } from "zustand/react/shallow";

function UserInfo() {
  const { name, email } = useUserStore(
    useShallow((state) => ({ name: state.name, email: state.email }))
  );
  return <div>{name} - {email}</div>;
}

// ❌ AVOID: Selecting entire store (causes re-render on any change)
const store = useUserStore();  // Re-renders on ANY state change

Async Actions

interface UserStore {
  user: User | null;
  loading: boolean;
  error: string | null;
  fetchUser: (id: string) => Promise<void>;
}

const useUserStore = create<UserStore>((set) => ({
  user: null,
  loading: false,
  error: null,

  fetchUser: async (id) => {
    set({ loading: true, error: null });
    try {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);
      const user = await response.json();
      set({ user, loading: false });
    } catch (error) {
      set({ error: "Failed to fetch user", loading: false });
    }
  },
}));

Slices Pattern

// userSlice.ts
interface UserSlice {
  user: User | null;
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
  clearUser: () => void;
}

const createUserSlice = (set): UserSlice => ({
  user: null,
  setUser: (user) => set({ user }),
  clearUser: () => set({ user: null }),
});

// cartSlice.ts
interface CartSlice {
  items: CartItem[];
  addItem: (item: CartItem) => void;
  removeItem: (id: string) => void;
}

const createCartSlice = (set): CartSlice => ({
  items: [],
  addItem: (item) => set((state) => ({ items: [...state.items, item] })),
  removeItem: (id) => set((state) => ({
    items: state.items.filter(i => i.id !== id)
  })),
});

// store.ts
type Store = UserSlice & CartSlice;

const useStore = create<Store>()((...args) => ({
  ...createUserSlice(...args),
  ...createCartSlice(...args),
}));

Immer Middleware

import { create } from "zustand";
import { immer } from "zustand/middleware/immer";

interface TodoStore {
  todos: Todo[];
  addTodo: (text: string) => void;
  toggleTodo: (id: string) => void;
}

const useTodoStore = create<TodoStore>()(
  immer((set) => ({
    todos: [],

    addTodo: (text) => set((state) => {
      // Mutate directly with Immer!
      state.todos.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), text, done: false });
    }),

    toggleTodo: (id) => set((state) => {
      const todo = state.todos.find(t => t.id === id);
      if (todo) todo.done = !todo.done;
    }),
  }))
);

DevTools

import { create } from "zustand";
import { devtools } from "zustand/middleware";

const useStore = create<Store>()(
  devtools(
    (set) => ({
      // store definition
    }),
    { name: "MyStore" }  // Name in Redux DevTools
  )
);

Outside React

// Access store outside components
const { count, increment } = useCounterStore.getState();
increment();

// Subscribe to changes
const unsubscribe = useCounterStore.subscribe(
  (state) => console.log("Count changed:", state.count)
);
