+## Composable Slots via `handler.use`
+
+Slot handlers can carry their own loader, loading, error/notFound boundaries, revalidation, and transition defaults via `.use`. The mount site then declares **just the slot names** — no per-call data wiring.
+
+```typescript
+const CartSummary: Handler = async (ctx) => {
+  const cart = await ctx.use(CartLoader);
+  return <CartSummaryView cart={cart} />;
+};
+CartSummary.use = () => [
+  loader(CartLoader),
+  loading(<CartSkeleton />),
+  revalidate(revalidateCartData),
+];
+
+// Same slot, no copy-pasted plumbing across layouts.
+layout(<DashboardLayout />, () => [
+  parallel({ "@cart": CartSummary }),
+  path("/dashboard", DashboardIndex, { name: "dashboard.index" }),
+]);
+
+layout(<AccountLayout />, () => [
+  parallel({ "@cart": CartSummary }),
+  path("/account", AccountIndex, { name: "account.index" }),
+]);
+```
+
+A slot's `loading()` (whether from `handler.use` or explicit) makes that slot an independent streaming unit, exactly as in the **Streaming Behavior** section above.
+
+The `parallel` mount site has the narrowest allow-list for `handler.use` items — slots cannot bring their own middleware or layout, only `revalidate`, `loader`, `loading`, `errorBoundary`, `notFoundBoundary`, and `transition`. See [skills/handler-use](../handler-use/SKILL.md) for the full table and merge rules.
+
+`transition` is allowed in the slot allow-list, but slot-level rendering does **not** currently apply a `<ViewTransition>` wrapper — only the layout/route wraps take effect at render time. For a modal-only morph today, use an element-level React `<ViewTransition>` inside the slot's component. The reverse direction is the useful guarantee: a layout-level `transition()` fires when the layout's default outlet content changes but **not** when a `<ParallelOutlet />` mounts new content (modal opens are not subtree updates of the layout VT). See [skills/view-transitions](../view-transitions/SKILL.md) for the wrap rules and the intercept caveat.
+
+### Two scopes for explicit `use`: shared (broadcast) and slot-local
+
+`parallel({...slots}, () => [...use])` runs the shared `use()` callback **once per slot** ([dsl-helpers.ts](../../src/route-definition/dsl-helpers.ts)) — items in that callback land on every slot's entry. That's the right behavior for the items the parallel allow-list permits and that accumulate (`loader`, `revalidate`, `errorBoundary`, `notFoundBoundary`, `transition`). (Slots cannot bring `middleware` or `layout` — see the allowed-types note above.)
+
+For single-assignment items like `loading()`, broadcasting overwrites every slot's `handler.use` default. Pass a **slot descriptor** `{ handler, use }` instead — items in the descriptor's `use` apply only to that slot:
+
+```typescript
+// @cart gets a custom skeleton; @notifs keeps its handler.use default.
+parallel({
+  "@cart": {
+    handler: Cart,
+    use: () => [loading(<CustomCartSkeleton />)],
+  },
+  "@notifs": Notifs,
+});
+
+// Opt one slot out of streaming while siblings still stream the broadcast.
+parallel(
+  {
+    "@cart": { handler: Cart, use: () => [loading(false)] },
+    "@notifs": Notifs,
+  },
+  () => [loading(<BroadcastSkeleton />)],
+);
+```
+
+Per-slot merge order is **handler.use → shared use → slot-local use**. Slot-local is the narrowest scope, so it wins for last-write-wins items. See [skills/handler-use § `loading()` is a single-assignment item — scope it correctly](../handler-use/SKILL.md#loading-is-a-single-assignment-item--scope-it-correctly) for the full reasoning.

+## View Transitions
+
+A route can configure its own `transition()` — the wrap goes around the route's component itself (routes are leaves; they have no separate default outlet channel). If the route component renders a `<ParallelOutlet />` directly, that slot remains inside the route's VT subtree, so prefer mounting parallel slots in a layout when combining intercept modals with route-level transitions. See [skills/view-transitions](../view-transitions/SKILL.md) for examples and the wrap-location rules across layouts, routes, and slots.
+
+## Handler-attached `.use`
+
+Page handlers can carry their own loader, middleware, error boundaries, parallels, and other defaults via a `.use` callback — so the page is self-contained and reusable across mount sites without re-wiring the same items.
+
+```typescript
+const ProductPage: Handler<"/product/:slug"> = async (ctx) => {
+  const product = await ctx.use(ProductLoader);
+  return <ProductView product={product} />;
+};
+ProductPage.use = () => [
+  loader(ProductLoader),
+  loading(<ProductSkeleton />),
+  middleware(async (ctx, next) => {
+    await next();
+    ctx.header("Cache-Control", "private, max-age=60");
+  }),
+];
+
+// Mount site has no per-page wiring — defaults travel with the handler.
+path("/product/:slug", ProductPage, { name: "product" });
+```
+
+Explicit `use()` at the mount site merges with `handler.use` (handler defaults first, explicit second). See [skills/handler-use](../handler-use/SKILL.md) for the merge order, allowed item types per mount site, and override semantics.
