expo-react-native-builder

Guidance for building and auditing mobile apps with Expo and React Native. Expo provides tools for React Native apps, which use JavaScript or TypeScript to build interfaces for iOS and Android.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or review an Expo or React Native app, including navigation, data storage, native modules, builds, updates, and release readiness.
Why use it?
It helps teams handle device behavior, native code, offline use, accessibility, testing, performance, security, and app-store releases together.

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

expo-react-native-builder 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/expo_project_inventory.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Expo React Native Builder

Build against the selected Expo SDK and React Native architecture, real devices, native constraints, and store/update policy. Prefer Expo/RN capabilities and existing repository choices before dependencies.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill for:

  • implementing an Expo/React Native app or feature;
  • auditing routing, native modules, data/offline, performance, accessibility, EAS, and release readiness;
  • choosing state/data/storage/animation/test packages conditionally within an established Expo/RN app;
  • upgrading implementation patterns within the current supported SDK without changing the platform decision.

Do not trigger for:

  • deciding Expo/RN versus Flutter/native—use mobile-architecture-director;
  • a web-only React task;
  • a bare React Native migration or SDK upgrade whose central problem is version compatibility—use codebase-evolution-controller with this skill as implementation guidance;
  • treating Expo Go as the production development/runtime environment.

Required inputs

Capture:

  1. repository state, Expo SDK/RN/React/Node/package-manager versions and monorepo shape;
  2. app config, routes, development build, native directories/prebuild policy, EAS build/update/submit profiles;
  3. product/design flows, platform conventions, accessibility/localization requirements;
  4. backend/auth/data/offline/sync and sensitive-data contracts;
  5. native modules/device APIs, permissions, extensions/widgets/background needs;
  6. supported OS/devices, performance/resource targets, and real-device matrix;
  7. testing, CI, observability, signing/store, update runtime, rollout, and rollback policy.

Inventory first:

python skills/expo-react-native-builder/scripts/expo_project_inventory.py . --format markdown

Safety baseline

  • Inspect and preserve uncommitted work.
  • Read package.json, lockfile, app config, eas.json, native projects, config plugins, and existing architecture before edits.
  • Use npx expo install or repository tooling for SDK-compatible Expo package resolution when authorized; do not force arbitrary versions.
  • Do not run prebuild, install pods, regenerate native projects, or upgrade SDK/RN without reviewing expected native diffs and rollback.
  • Never ship secrets in EXPO_PUBLIC_*, app config, JS bundle, AsyncStorage, logs, updates, or source maps.
  • Test native modules, storage, biometrics, notifications, background, links, memory, and performance in development/release builds on real devices.

Files

What ships with it

5 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.

expo-react-native-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 2,644 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
