Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to Use This Skill

• When building React apps with fp-ts for type-safe state management
• When handling loading/error/success states in data fetching
• When implementing form validation with error accumulation
• When using React 18/19 or Next.js 14/15 with functional patterns

When to Use What

Situation	Use
Value might not exist	Option<T>
Operation might fail (sync)	Either<E, A>
Async operation might fail	TaskEither<E, A>
Need loading/error/success UI	RemoteData<E, A>
Form with multiple validations	Either with validation applicative
Dependency injection	Context + ReaderTaskEither
Prevent re-renders with fp-ts	useMemo or fp-ts-react-stable-hooks
