Zustand Patterns

Modern state management with Zustand 5.x - lightweight, TypeScript-first, no boilerplate.

Overview

• Global state without Redux complexity
• Shared state across components without prop drilling
• Persisted state with localStorage/sessionStorage
• Computed/derived state with selectors
• State that needs middleware (logging, devtools, persistence)

Upstream coverage (do not restate)

Zustand's own docs are the source for the mechanics. This skill carries only the OrchestKit delta on top of them, in references/ork-delta.md, the rules/ files, and the checklist.
