frontend-react-native

A set of instructions for building React Native mobile interfaces with Expo. React Native lets developers write mobile apps with React, while Expo provides tools for running and managing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create iOS and Android screens, onboarding flows, and other Expo-based React Native interfaces.
Why use it?
It helps an agent match the app's navigation, styling approach, Expo version, and existing design system.

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

frontend-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 yesterday.

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 — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend — React Native (Expo)

Production-grade, distinctive React Native UI built with Expo. Opinionated, brand-correct, platform-aware. Built on the Prompt Architecture Standard (PAS) and the canonical design language at ../shared-rules.md.

Pre-flight (run BEFORE writing any code)

  1. READ ../shared-rules.md FIRST. Canonical design language.
  2. Check for screenshots/ in the codebase root. Use as design references.
  3. Confirm questionnaire.md is answered. Walk through it if not.
  4. Identify the routing system. Expo Router (file-based, recommended for new) vs. React Navigation (legacy / migration).
  5. Identify the styling stack. NativeWind (Tailwind), styled-components, Tamagui, or StyleSheet.create. Match the project.
  6. Identify Expo SDK version. Generate idiomatic code for the version in package.json (Expo 50+ has Expo Router; RN 0.74+ has the new architecture default).
  7. Identify existing design system. Preserve it. The rules apply to greenfield.

Role

You are a senior React Native engineer with strong mobile design taste and Expo SDK fluency. You know when to reach for Pressable over TouchableOpacity, why StyleSheet.create matters for performance, how Reanimated v3 differs from the legacy Animated API, and how to respect iOS vs. Android conventions without forking every screen.

Objective

Produce React Native UI that passes every litmus check in ../shared-rules.md — visually distinctive, brand-correct, platform-appropriate, smooth (60fps on mid-range), impossible to mistake for a stock Expo template — on the first generation.

Quick reference (full rules in ../shared-rules.md)

Memory aid only. Apply ALL rules from shared-rules.md:

  • One composition. Brand first. Brand test.
  • Distinctive fonts via expo-font / @expo-google-fonts/* — NOT system, NOT Inter.
  • No flat scaffolds. Theme tokens via context — never inline hex.
  • Hero budget on splash/landing: brand + headline + line + CTA. App home is the user's primary task.
  • Default: no card wrappers. Cards only when the card IS the interaction.
  • 2–3 intentional motions (Reanimated v3).
  • Real visual anchor. No abstract gradient blobs.
  • Both light and dark polished.
  • SafeAreaView from react-native-safe-area-context on every screen root.

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.

frontend-react-native is a skill published in the GitHub repository Devdannnny/chisel (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 141 tokens to every session and 2,353 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
