react-native-rules

react-native-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of file-aware instructions for React Native mobile applications, including Expo, navigation, and native app lifecycle behavior. React Native lets developers build mobile apps with React.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing mobile screens, navigation, platform-specific files, configuration, or React Native tests.
Why use it?
It helps an agent follow the app's existing Expo or native setup and avoid unnecessary native modules or platform changes.

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

react-native-rules 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

React Native Rules for Cursor: Expo, Navigation and Native Lifecycle

Install

Install the native export at .cursor/rules/react-native-rules.mdc. Copy that export, not this catalog file. Catalog fields such as tools and author are for presets.dev. Install one skill file per name. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Antigravity CLI, and Devin can all read .agents/skills, so a second copy with the same name collides.

React Native Rules for Cursor: Expo, Navigation and Native Lifecycle

File-scoped Cursor rule for React Native. It attaches when a matching file is in context.

Updated for React Native 0.88.1, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Project shape

Read app.json or app.config, the navigation library, and whether the app is Expo or a bare workflow. Follow that. Screens live where the navigator already registers them. Platform files (ios, android, .native) stay the split the repo uses.

A new native module or config plugin is a product decision. Do not add one to solve a JavaScript problem.

Components and state

The React rules still apply: derive values during render, clean up effects, and do not store props in state. In a native stack, pushing another screen does not unmount the one underneath. Focus-owned work uses useFocusEffect and returns a cleanup that runs on blur. Effect cleanup runs when the screen actually unmounts, which is later, often after it is popped. Do not treat blur as unmount.

After await, check that the screen is still focused before you set state or navigate. A request started on focus is cancelled in the focus cleanup.

Platform behavior

Branch on Platform.OS for a real platform difference, not for a style you can share. A web preview in Expo is not a phone. Do not call window, document, or a DOM layout API.

Permissions are requested at the moment of use, with a reason the platform stores already show. Handle the denial. Do not assume a permission granted in the simulator is granted on a device.

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.
