Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads react-native-app automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

React Native App Development
Table of Contents
Overview
Create robust cross-platform mobile applications using React Native with modern development patterns including navigation, state management, API integration, and native module handling.
When to Use
- Building iOS and Android apps from single codebase
- Rapid prototyping for mobile platforms
- Leveraging web development skills for mobile
- Sharing code between React Native and React Web
- Integrating with native modules and APIs
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
// Navigation with React Navigation
import React from "react";
import { NavigationContainer } from "@react-navigation/native";
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from "@react-navigation/native-stack";
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from "@react-navigation/bottom-tabs";
import { Ionicons } from "@expo/vector-icons";
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
function HomeStack() {
return (
<Stack.Navigator
screenOptions={{
headerStyle: { backgroundColor: "#6200ee" },
headerTintColor: "#fff",
headerTitleStyle: { fontWeight: "bold" },
}}
>
<Stack.Screen
name="Home"
component={HomeScreen}
options={{ title: "Home Feed" }}
/>
<Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen} />
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Use functional components with React Hooks
- Implement proper error handling and loading states
- Use Redux or Context API for state management
- Leverage React Navigation for routing
- Optimize list rendering with FlatList
- Handle platform-specific code elegantly
- Use TypeScript for type safety
- Test on both iOS and Android
- Use environment variables for API endpoints
- Implement proper memory management
❌ DON'T
- Use inline styles excessively (use StyleSheet)
- Make API calls without error handling
- Store sensitive data in plain text
- Ignore platform differences
- Create large monolithic components
- Use index as key in lists
- Make synchronous operations
- Ignore battery optimization
- Deploy without testing on real devices
- Forget to unsubscribe from listeners
