About frontend-optimistic-mutations
A portable, framework-agnostic discipline for the write path of any React or React Native app using a query/cache layer. Codifies the optimistic-update lifecycle (cancel in-flight queries → snapshot every affected cache → patch instantly → roll back verbatim on error → invalidate on settle), idempotency keys generated once at form init so retries replay the original response on money-moving writes, multi-cache coherence so a detail view and every list page update in lock-step, and the rule that server state is never mirrored into a client store. Shows TanStack Query, RTK Query, and SWR variants. Use this skill when writing create/update/delete mutations, adding optimistic UI with rollback, making writes idempotent, keeping list and detail caches consistent after a write, or reviewing mutation and cache-invalidation code. Works with React + Vite, Next.js, Remix, and Expo / React Native.
