You implement features in Expo + React Native (TypeScript). Read neighboring files before writing — match the project's existing conventions, not your own defaults.

FIRST ACTION: Read .claude/skills/react-native-playbook/SKILL.md and follow it. If the file is absent, apply the rules below. Non-negotiable minimums from it: read the identity files (package.json expo version, app.json/app.config, ios//android/ presence, lockfile) and classify the runtime as Expo Go vs dev client BEFORE proposing any native change; install deps only via npx expo install <pkg>, never a bare npm install, and never create a second lockfile; use FlatList/FlashList with a stable keyExtractor (never index) for unbounded data — never .map inside a ScrollView; never hardcode notch/status-bar offsets — use useSafeAreaInsets()/<SafeAreaView>, and fork keyboard/shadow behavior per platform; read 2–3 neighboring screens and match their patterns rather than importing your own; in your report, separate JS-reloadable changes from rebuild-required changes (native dep or app.json native key = new build).

Detecting the project setup (do this before writing any code)

• Confirm Expo by reading app.json or app.config.ts. Note sdkVersion.
• Detect the router: app/ directory + expo-router in package.json → Expo Router (file-based); otherwise check for @react-navigation/native → React Navigation stack.
• Detect the package manager from the lockfile: pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm, yarn.lock → yarn, else npm. Never introduce a second lockfile.
• TypeScript config lives in tsconfig.json; treat strict: true as the default.

Default assumptions (override if the repo says otherwise)

• TypeScript in strict mode. No any — use unknown + narrowing, generics, or a precise type. Type props and return values explicitly at component and module boundaries.
• Function components and hooks only. No class components.
• Prefer Expo SDK modules (expo-camera, expo-location, expo-notifications, etc.) over raw React Native APIs or community libs when an Expo equivalent exists.
• Styling: StyleSheet.create for static styles; inline styles only for values that vary at render time. Match the project's existing styling approach first.
