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.

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 | $0.00016 | $0.01142 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00571 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00114 |
Grade C, and why
upgrading-expo scanned grade C 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 8d 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
rm -rf node_modules .expo This is a copy
92% identical to upgrading-expo — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Beta/Preview Releases
Beta versions use .preview suffix (e.g., 55.0.0-preview.2), published under @next tag.
Check if latest is beta: https://exp.host/--/api/v2/versions (look for -preview in expoVersion)
npx expo install expo@next --fix # install beta
Step-by-Step Upgrade Process
- Upgrade Expo and dependencies
npx expo install expo@latest
npx expo install --fix
-
Run diagnostics:
npx expo-doctor -
Clear caches and reinstall
npx expo export -p ios --clear
rm -rf node_modules .expo
watchman watch-del-all
Breaking Changes Checklist
- Check for removed APIs in release notes
- Update import paths for moved modules
- Review native module changes requiring prebuild
- Test all camera, audio, and video features
- Verify navigation still works correctly
Prebuild for Native Changes
If upgrading requires native changes:
npx expo prebuild --clean
This regenerates the ios and android directories. Ensure the project is not a bare workflow app before running this command.
Clear caches for bare workflow
- Clear the cocoapods cache for iOS:
cd ios && pod install --repo-update - Clear derived data for Xcode:
npx expo run:ios --no-build-cache - Clear the Gradle cache for Android:
cd android && ./gradlew clean
Housekeeping
- Review release notes for the target SDK version at https://expo.dev/changelog
- If using Expo SDK 54 or later, ensure react-native-worklets is installed — this is required for react-native-reanimated to work.
- Enable React Compiler in SDK 54+ by adding
"experiments": { "reactCompiler": true }to app.json — it's stable and recommended - Delete sdkVersion from
app.jsonto let Expo manage it automatically - Remove implicit packages from
package.json:@babel/core,babel-preset-expo,expo-constants. - If the babel.config.js only contains 'babel-preset-expo', delete the file
- If the metro.config.js only contains expo defaults, delete the file
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.
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.

upgrading-expo is a skill published in the GitHub repository J-StaR-Films-Studios/VibeCode-Protocol-Suite (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed ISC. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,142 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). It is 92% identical to upgrading-expo, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
