trove-react-native

A set of guidelines for building React Native and Expo mobile apps, including components, animations, lists, images, and connections to phone features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating React Native or Expo apps, improving scrolling and list speed, adding animations, handling media, or configuring native modules and fonts.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common performance and platform-integration mistakes when building mobile interfaces.

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

trove-react-native 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 3d 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.

Session Init

This skill ships Trove conventions. Prefer existing project patterns over generic best practices when they conflict.

React Native Skills

Best practices for React Native and Expo applications, organized by impact. Each rule has a detailed reference file under references/ with incorrect/correct code examples.

When to Apply

  • Building React Native or Expo apps
  • Optimizing list and scroll performance (FlashList, virtualization)
  • Implementing animations with Reanimated and Gesture Handler
  • Working with images and media (expo-image, Galeria)
  • Configuring native modules, custom fonts, or platform integrations
  • Structuring monorepo projects with native dependencies

Note: This skill is user-invocable rather than glob-auto-attached, since React Native projects are less common than web React ones — invoke it explicitly for ad-hoc RN work or new projects.

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 List Performance CRITICAL list-performance-
2 Animation HIGH animation-
3 Navigation HIGH navigation-
4 UI Patterns HIGH ui-
5 State Management MEDIUM react-state-
6 Rendering MEDIUM rendering-
7 Monorepo MEDIUM monorepo-
8 Configuration LOW fonts-, imports-

Quick Reference

1. List Performance (CRITICAL)

  • list-performance-virtualize — Use FlashList for large lists
  • list-performance-item-memo — Memoize list item components
  • list-performance-callbacks — Stabilize callback references
  • list-performance-inline-objects — Avoid inline style objects
  • list-performance-function-references — Extract functions outside render
  • list-performance-images — Optimize images in lists
  • list-performance-item-expensive — Move expensive work outside items
  • list-performance-item-types — Use item types for heterogeneous lists

What ships with it

38 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.
