What is tamagui-best-practices?

A guide for Tamagui, a user-interface library for React and React Native applications. It covers configuration, compiler behavior, design tokens, themes, forms, animations, and overlay components such as dialogs and popovers.

Use it when working with Tamagui configuration files or imports from the @tamagui packages.

It helps avoid configuration and component-pattern mistakes specific to Tamagui projects.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00029	$0.01056
Opus 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00422
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00211
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00106

Security

Grade A, and why

tamagui-best-practices scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Tamagui Best Practices

Tamagui v1.x patterns beyond fundamentals: Config v4, compiler optimization, compound components, and gotchas.

Reference Files — Read Before Writing Code

Context	File	What it covers
Dialog, Sheet, modal overlays	@DIALOG_PATTERNS.md	Adapt component, accessibility
Form, Input, Label, validation	@FORM_PATTERNS.md	zod integration
Animations, transitions	@ANIMATION_PATTERNS.md	drivers, enterStyle/exitStyle
Popover, Tooltip, Select	@OVERLAY_PATTERNS.md	overlay primitives
Compiler optimization	@COMPILER_PATTERNS.md	what the compiler can/cannot flatten
Design tokens, theming	@DESIGN_SYSTEM.md	palette, token structure

Config v4

Minimal setup with @tamagui/config/v4. Add styleCompat: 'react-native' for new projects to align flexBasis with React Native behavior:

import { defaultConfig } from '@tamagui/config/v4'
import { createTamagui } from 'tamagui'

export const config = createTamagui({
  ...defaultConfig,
  settings: { ...defaultConfig.settings, styleCompat: 'react-native' },
})

declare module 'tamagui' {
  interface TamaguiCustomConfig extends typeof config {}
}

For custom themes use createThemes with palette/accent/childrenThemes — see @DESIGN_SYSTEM.md.

Compiler Optimization Rules

Use styled() variants instead of inline conditionals — dynamic values break flattening.
Avoid style={{ ... }} with variables; use variant props instead.
The context pattern (createStyledContext) disables compiler flattening — use for higher-level components (Button, Card), not primitives.

// BAD — breaks compiler
<View backgroundColor={isDark ? '$gray1' : '$gray12'} />

// GOOD — use variants
const Box = styled(View, {
  variants: {
    dark: { true: { backgroundColor: '$gray1' }, false: { backgroundColor: '$gray12' } },
  },
})

styled() vs Inline

styled(): reusable components, variant-driven behavior, compiler-optimizable primitives.
Inline props: one-off layout adjustments on already-styled components.
Always use as const on variants objects (TypeScript limitation until inferred const generics).

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

tamagui-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository alleneubank/claude-code (49 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,056 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
