## Narrow Effect Dependencies
Specify primitive dependencies instead of objects to minimize effect re-runs.
**Incorrect (re-runs on any user field change):**
```tsx
useEffect(() => {
console.log(user.id)
}, [user])
```
**Correct (re-runs only when id changes):**
```tsx
useEffect(() => {
console.log(user.id)
}, [user.id])
```
**For derived state, compute outside effect:**
```tsx
// Incorrect: runs on width=767, 766, 765...
useEffect(() => {
if (width < 768) {
enableMobileMode()
}
}, [width])
// Correct: runs only on boolean transition
const isMobile = width < 768
useEffect(() => {
if (isMobile) {
enableMobileMode()
}
}, [isMobile])
```
