Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/tanstack/table --skill getting-started- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads getting-started automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

React Table setup and integration
Before starting, run intent load @tanstack/table-core#core for the shared headless model and stable-input rules.
Setup
import { useState } from 'react'
import {
createColumnHelper,
tableFeatures,
useTable,
} from '@tanstack/react-table'
type Person = { name: string; age: number }
const features = tableFeatures({})
const helper = createColumnHelper<typeof features, Person>()
const columns = helper.columns([
helper.accessor('name', { header: 'Name' }),
helper.accessor('age', { header: 'Age' }),
])
export function PeopleTable() {
const [data] = useState<Person[]>([{ name: 'Ada', age: 36 }])
const table = useTable({ features, columns, data })
return (
<table>
<thead>
{table.getHeaderGroups().map((group) => (
<tr key={group.id}>
{group.headers.map((header) => (
<th key={header.id}>
{header.isPlaceholder ? null : (
<table.FlexRender header={header} />
)}
</th>
))}
</tr>
))}
</thead>
<tbody>
{table.getRowModel().rows.map((row) => (
<tr key={row.id}>
{row.getAllCells().map((cell) => (
<td key={cell.id}>
<table.FlexRender cell={cell} />
</td>
))}
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
)
}
Table produces models and state; React owns the semantic markup, styles, event affordances, and accessibility.
Essential constraints
Use useTable for v9. Keep features, columns, and fallback data at module scope or in stable state/memos. A new response.data ?? [] fallback invalidates row models on every render. The default selector subscribes the owner to all registered state.
Table owns models and state. The application owns markup, CSS, interactions, and accessibility. Core-only tables use row.getAllCells(); visibility-aware methods need columnVisibilityFeature. Optional state and APIs require their features. Put row-model slots after their prerequisite features in tableFeatures().
Load by task
- For repeated features, defaults, typed contexts, or component registries, read reusable app hooks.
- For Query-backed data, server pages, sorting, filtering, or request keys, read TanStack Query integration.
- For virtual rows, columns, dynamic measurement, or infinite scrolling, read TanStack Virtual integration.
- For controlled state, tracked reads, or render subscriptions, read table state.
- For feature registration, missing feature APIs, or processing ownership, run
intent load @tanstack/table-core#table-featuresand read only references needed by the task. - For v8 code, read the migration checklist.
API discovery
Inspect node_modules/@tanstack/react-table/dist/index.d.ts, then the exported adapter declarations for the installed version. Inspect optional core APIs under node_modules/@tanstack/table-core/dist/features/.
FAQ
