What is react-native?

A guide for building React Native mobile apps with Expo, file-based navigation, modern native architecture, optimized lists, animations, state management, and store deployment. React Native lets developers build mobile apps with React, while Expo provides supporting tools and services.

Use it to start or improve an Expo app, set up routes and deep links, manage local and server data, optimize lists and images, add animations or push notifications, and prepare App Store or Play Store releases.

It provides project conventions for navigation, performance, images, notifications, and deployment instead of leaving each choice open. It also highlights compatibility and optimization checks for mobile apps.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00055	$0.02937
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.01469
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00587
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00294

Security

Grade A, and why

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 5d 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.

React Native Architect

Build production React Native apps with Expo, New Architecture, and modern navigation.

Workflow

Scaffold — npx create-expo-app@latest MyApp --template blank-typescript, configure SDK 53+
Navigation — Choose between Expo Router (greenfield Expo) or React Navigation v7 (bare RN / brownfield). Set up layouts, typed routes, deep linking
State management — Zustand for local client state, TanStack Query for server state. Avoid Redux unless dealing with massive synchronous state trees
New Architecture — Ensure Fabric + TurboModules enabled (default in SDK 53+). Verify third-party lib compatibility
Lists — Replace all FlatLists with FlashList from Shopify. Configure estimatedItemSize. Optimize renderItem with React.memo
Animations — Reanimated 4 for gesture-driven animations. Use useSharedValue + useAnimatedStyle instead of Animated API
Images — expo-image with cached, resized variants. Never bare <Image> without dimensions
Notifications — expo-notifications for push. Handle foreground, background, tap-to-navigate
Performance — Enable Hermes, lazy-load tab screens, freeze inactive screens via react-native-screens, InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions for heavy ops
Ship — eas build --platform all --profile production, eas submit, configure CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Scenario	Recommended
Greenfield Expo app	Expo Router (file-based, typed routes, deep links)
Bare React Native	React Navigation v7 (imperative, full control)
Brownfield / native modules	React Navigation v7
Web + mobile	Expo Router (SSR, SEO)

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.
