React Native Skills
Comprehensive best practices for React Native and Expo applications. Contains rules across multiple categories covering performance, animations, UI patterns, and platform-specific optimizations.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Building React Native or Expo apps
- Optimizing list and scroll performance
- Implementing animations with Reanimated
- Working with images and media
- Configuring native modules or fonts
- Structuring monorepo projects with native dependencies
Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | List Performance | CRITICAL | list-performance- |
| 2 | Animation | HIGH | animation- |
| 3 | Navigation | HIGH | navigation- |
| 4 | UI Patterns | HIGH | ui- |
| 5 | State Management | MEDIUM | react-state- |
| 6 | Rendering | MEDIUM | rendering- |
| 7 | Monorepo | MEDIUM | monorepo- |
| 8 | Configuration | LOW | fonts-, imports- |
Quick Reference
1. List Performance (CRITICAL)

react-state-minimize- Minimize state subscriptionsreact-state-dispatcher- Use dispatcher pattern for callbacksreact-state-fallback- Show fallback on first renderreact-compiler-destructure-functions- Destructure for React Compilerreact-compiler-reanimated-shared-values- Handle shared values with compiler
6. Rendering (MEDIUM)
rendering-text-in-text-component- Wrap text in Text componentsrendering-no-falsy-and- Avoid falsy && for conditional rendering
7. Monorepo (MEDIUM)
monorepo-native-deps-in-app- Keep native dependencies in app packagemonorepo-single-dependency-versions- Use single versions across packages
8. Configuration (LOW)
fonts-config-plugin- Use config plugins for custom fontsimports-design-system-folder- Organize design system importsjs-hoist-intl- Hoist Intl object creation

Design and implement web animations that feel natural and purposeful. Use this skill proactively whenever the user asks questions about animations, motion, easing, timing, duration, springs, transitions, or animation performance. This includes questions about how to animate specific UI elements, which easing to use, animation best practices, or accessibility considerations for motion. Triggers on: easing, ease-out, ease-in, ease-in-out, cubic-bezier, bounce, spring physics, keyframes, transform, opacity, fade, slide, scale, hover effects, microinteractions, Framer Motion, React Spring, GSAP, CSS transitions, entrance/exit animations, page transitions, stagger, will-change, GPU acceleration, prefers-reduced-motion, modal/dropdown/tooltip/popover/drawer animations, gesture animations, drag interactions, button press feel, feels janky, make it smooth.
