What it does

When installed, the agent follows a set of established patterns for building mobile apps with React Native and Expo. It suggests a folder structure, navigation layout with Expo Router, a comparison of Expo versus bare React Native, starter setup commands, and best practices such as using FlashList for long lists, memoizing components, and keeping secrets out of code. A supporting reference file holds more detailed worked examples that the agent reads when basic navigation guidance is not enough.

Great for

  • Developers starting a new React Native or Expo mobile app who want a consistent starting structure
  • Teams deciding between Expo managed workflow and bare React Native
  • Developers who want reminders on performance and mobile-specific pitfalls during code review

Skip it if

  • Non-developers without a React Native project; the guidance assumes working knowledge of React and TypeScript
  • Anyone expecting verified, project-specific advice: the patterns are generic and the agent still needs to check them against the actual codebase and current library versions

Try asking

  • “Set up a new Expo app with TypeScript, Expo Router, and async storage”
  • “Design a navigation structure with auth and tab groups for my React Native app”
  • “Review my React Native screens for performance issues like inline styles and FlatList usage”
  • “Explain the tradeoffs between Expo and bare React Native for my offline-first app”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask the agent to check your existing project structure before applying the suggested layout, so it does not overwrite your conventions.
  • Verify the package names and install commands against current Expo documentation, since library APIs change over time.
  • Pair the guidance with real-device testing; the skill itself recommends this and the agent cannot test on devices.
