+## Use Transitions for Non-Urgent Updates
+
+Mark frequent, non-urgent state updates as transitions to maintain UI responsiveness.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks UI on every scroll):**
+
+```tsx
+function ScrollTracker() {
+  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handler = () => setScrollY(window.scrollY)
+    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true })
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler)
+  }, [])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (non-blocking updates):**
+
+```tsx
+import { startTransition } from 'react'
+
+function ScrollTracker() {
+  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handler = () => {
+      startTransition(() => setScrollY(window.scrollY))
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true })
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler)
+  }, [])
+}
+```
