Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is JubaKitiashvili/everything-react-native-expo's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on everything-react-native-expo itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything everything-react-native-expo configures →

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

everything-react-native-expo copilot-instructions.md 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 2d ago.

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.

ERNE — React Native & Expo Development Guidelines

Stack

  • TypeScript (strict mode), React Native, Expo
  • Expo Router for file-based navigation
  • Zustand (client state) + TanStack Query (server state)
  • Jest + React Native Testing Library + Detox

Code Conventions

  • Functional components only: const Component = () => {}
  • Named exports only — no default exports
  • PascalCase for components and types, camelCase for functions and hooks
  • Import order: react → react-native → expo → third-party → internal → types
  • Maximum 250 lines per component file
  • Always use StyleSheet.create() — never inline styles

Performance

  • Use React.memo, useMemo, useCallback for expensive computations
  • Prefer FlashList over FlatList for lists with 100+ items
  • Avoid anonymous functions in render-path JSX props
  • Use WebP images with explicit dimensions and caching
  • Use react-native-reanimated for animations (runs on UI thread)
  • Keep JS bundle under 1.5MB

Testing

  • Every new component or hook requires a test file
  • Test user-visible behavior, not implementation details
  • Mock native modules in __mocks__/ directory
  • Use Detox for E2E tests on critical user flows

Security

  • Never hardcode secrets — use environment variables
  • Validate and sanitize all deep link parameters
  • Use SSL certificate pinning for sensitive API endpoints
  • Store tokens with expo-secure-store, never AsyncStorage

State Management

  • Zustand for UI state, user preferences, navigation state
  • TanStack Query for API data, caching, background refetching
  • Keep separation: Zustand should not cache server data

Expo-Specific

  • Prefer Expo SDK modules over community alternatives
  • Use app.config.ts for dynamic configuration
  • Use config plugins for native customization (avoid manual ios/android edits)
  • EAS Build for CI/CD, EAS Update for OTA deployments
  • File-based routing with Expo Router
  • Use typed routes via expo-router/typed-routes
  • Use _layout.tsx for shared UI elements
  • Validate deep link parameters before navigation

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.
