best-practices

best-practices is a cursor rule for coding agents from ofershap/expo-best-practices. It costs 114 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for building Expo and React Native mobile applications. It specifies preferred approaches for navigation, app builds, images, secret storage, and native configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding navigation, preparing native builds, displaying images, storing sensitive values, or configuring iOS and Android behavior in Expo apps.
Why use it?
It keeps new code aligned with the practices defined for this project and helps avoid deprecated or less suitable implementation choices.

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

best-practices 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

  • Use Expo Router for navigation - never set up React Navigation manually in Expo projects
  • Use EAS Build for native builds - never use deprecated expo build
  • Use expo-image for images - never use React Native's built-in Image component
  • Use expo-secure-store for sensitive data - never use AsyncStorage for tokens or secrets
  • Use Expo config plugins for native configuration - never edit native iOS/Android files directly
Changes

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.
