example-apps

An agent guide for regenerating React Native example apps, including basic and cookbook examples. It describes how to create fresh Expo scaffolds and restore the repository's own files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Regenerating Expo examples, restoring repository files, updating example configuration, and validating the refreshed apps.
Why use it?
It helps refresh example projects while preserving tests, configuration, project-specific code, and tracked images. It also defines cleanup and validation steps after regeneration.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

example-apps scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Example App Regeneration

General workflow

  • Regenerate Expo example apps in a temporary directory, then copy the fresh scaffold into place.
  • Before replacing an example app, move the current app directory to /tmp so repo-specific files can be restored selectively.
  • Avoid image churn: preserve existing tracked image assets unless the task explicitly asks to update them or the new SDK requires an asset change.
  • After copying a generated app into examples/, remove the generated .git directory and node_modules, then reinstall from inside the repo workspace.

examples/basic

  • Generate from the Expo blank TypeScript template:
    • yarn create expo-app /tmp/rntl-basic-fresh --template blank-typescript --yes
  • Restore these repo-specific files on top of the fresh scaffold:
    • App.tsx
    • components/
    • __tests__/
    • theme.ts
    • jest.config.js
    • jest-setup.ts
    • babel.config.js
    • eslint.config.mjs
    • README.md
    • AGENTS.md
    • existing tracked image assets in assets/
    • .expo-shared/assets.json if it existed before
  • Keep the fresh Expo entrypoint index.ts.
  • Update package.json and app.json to match repo naming and scripts. Keep app.json pointing at the restored existing image assets unless changing them is intentional.

examples/cookbook

  • Generate from a router-enabled Expo scaffold:
    • yarn create expo-app /tmp/rntl-cookbook-fresh --example with-router --yes
  • Restore these repo-specific files on top of the fresh scaffold:
    • app/
    • tutorial test directories such as basics-tutorial/ and basics-tutorial-react-strict-dom/
    • theme.ts
    • jest.config.js
    • jest-setup.ts
    • babel.config.js
    • .eslintrc
    • .eslintignore
    • README.md
    • AGENTS.md
    • custom assets not present in the scaffold, such as assets/gradientRNBanner.png
    • existing tracked image assets in assets/
    • .expo-shared/assets.json if it existed before
  • Keep the fresh Expo Router entry setup.
  • Reapply the cookbook-specific dependency set in package.json and app.json. Keep app.json pointing at the restored existing image assets unless changing them is intentional.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

example-apps is an agent published in the GitHub repository callstack/react-native-testing-library (3,414 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 629 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
