+## useEffectEvent for Stable Callback Refs
+
+Access latest values in callbacks without adding them to dependency arrays. Prevents effect re-runs while avoiding stale closures.
+
+**Incorrect (effect re-runs on every callback change):**
+
+```tsx
+function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearch(query), 300);
+    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
+  }, [query, onSearch]);
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (using React's useEffectEvent):**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react';
+
+function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
+  const onSearchEvent = useEffectEvent(onSearch);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearchEvent(query), 300);
+    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
+  }, [query]);
+}
+```
