react-state-flows
Complex multi-step operations in React. Use when implementing flows with multiple async steps, state machine patterns, or debugging flow ordering issues. Works for both React web and React Native.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured approach to implementing complex state flows in React, including specific patterns and error handling that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Complex State Flows Problem Statement Multi-step operations with dependencies between steps are prone to ordering bugs, missing preconditions, and untested edge cases. Even without a formal state machine library, thinking in states and transitions prevents bugs. --- Pattern: State Machine Thinking Problem: Complex flows have implicit states that aren't modeled, leading to invalid transitions. Example - Checkout flow states: Each transition should have: 1. Preconditions - What must be true before this step 2. Action - What happens during this step 3. Postconditions - What must be true after this step 4. Error handling - What to do if this step fails --- Pattern: Explicit Flow Implementation Problem: Flow logic scattered across multiple functions, hard to verify ordering. --- Pattern: Flow Object Problem: Long async functions with many steps become unwieldy. --- Pattern: Flow State Tracking Problem: Components need to know current flow state for UI feedback. --- Pattern: Integration Testing Flows Problem: Unit tests for individual functions don't catch flow-level bugs. --- Pattern: Flow Documentation Document complex flows with diagrams for team understanding: ┌─────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ │ Start │────▶│ Validate Cart│────▶│ Process Payment │────▶│ Confirm │ └─────────┘ └──────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────┘ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ Postcondition: Postcondition: Postcondition: cart.validated payment.authorized order.created │ ▼ ┌──────────┐ │ Complete │ └──────────┘ --- Checklist: Designing Complex Flows Before implementing: [ ] Sketch state diagram (even on paper) [ ] Identify all states, including error states [ ] Document preconditions for each transition [ ] Document postconditions to verify [ ] Plan how to surface state to UI During implementation: [ ] Verify preconditions before each step [ ] Validate postconditions after each step [ ] Log state transitions with flow ID [ ] Handle errors at each step with context [ ] Surface …
