rn-bootstrap

A project scaffolder that creates an Expo and React Native app from project requirements, product requirements, and design documents. It sets up the requested navigation, styling, state, data, animation, image, and list tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new Expo app from PROJECT.md, PRD.md, and DESIGN.md files in a project prepared for the Expo React Native workflow.
Why use it?
It turns written product and design plans into a consistent starting codebase and can be run again without rebuilding an existing scaffold.

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

rn-bootstrap 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 4 executable files (scripts/init-expo-app.sh, scripts/install-stack.sh, scripts/verify.ts, …), 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.

rn-bootstrap — scaffold Expo + RN from PRD/DESIGN

Contract

See references/contracts.md (vendored from dev-flow). Key facts:

  • Reads <project-root>/.workflow/meta.json#stack.framework — must be "expo-rn".
  • Reads <project-root>/{PROJECT.md, PRD.md, DESIGN.md}. DESIGN.md is required for tokens; if absent, uses defaults from references/stack-defaults.md.
  • Writes the app to <project-root>/ (the same directory).
  • Sets meta.json#phase = "scaffolded" on success.
  • Always idempotent: re-running detects existing package.json + app/ and exits 0.

When this skill applies

  • Orchestrator routes here from dev-flow when meta.json#stack.framework == "expo-rn" and meta.json#phase ∈ {prd_drafted, design_extracted}.
  • User says: "scaffolda app expo", "create RN app from PRD".

Knowledge dependencies (read these first)

  • rn-fundamentals/SKILL.md — confirms Expo SDK + New Architecture + TypeScript + npm.
  • rn-styling/references/nativewind-setup.md — the 7-step NativeWind setup (this skill automates it).
  • rn-expo-router/references/concepts.md — folder layout for app/.
  • references/i18n-rn.mdgolden rule 2: every frontend ships i18n from day one. Wire it during this scaffold (device-locale detection, locales/{en,it}.json, provider in app/_layout.tsx, persisted locale choice) and record stack.i18n + stack.locales = ["en","it"] in meta.json. Follow that reference — don't improvise the setup; adding i18n later touches every screen.

Workflow

Step 1 — Verify preconditions

Read <project-root>/.workflow/meta.json. Abort with a clear message if:

  • file missing → "Run dev-flow init_workflow.py first."
  • stack.framework != "expo-rn" → "This skill is for stack.framework=expo-rn. For Next.js use design-md-to-app."
  • phase ∉ {prd_drafted, design_extracted} → "Expected phase prd_drafted or design_extracted, got X."

If package.json + app/ already exist at project root: print "Already bootstrapped, nothing to do", set phase to scaffolded if not already, exit 0.

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.

rn-bootstrap is a skill published in the GitHub repository lukedj78/dev-flow (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 196 tokens to every session and 2,617 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
