+## Subscribe to Derived State
+
+Subscribe to derived boolean state instead of continuous values to reduce re-render frequency.
+
+**Incorrect (re-renders on every pixel change):**
+
+```tsx
+function Sidebar() {
+  const width = useWindowWidth()  // updates continuously
+  const isMobile = width < 768
+  return <nav className={isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'desktop'} />
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (re-renders only when boolean changes):**
+
+```tsx
+function Sidebar() {
+  const isMobile = useMediaQuery('(max-width: 767px)')
+  return <nav className={isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'desktop'} />
+}
+```
