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-expo-router 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

rn-expo-router — guardrail for navigation in Expo + RN

For the current Expo API and per-version details, verify against the Expo docs / MCP mcp.expo.dev / expo/skills (see rn-fundamentals → Source of truth).

The 4 rules (non-negotiable)

  1. Expo Router only. Never import from @react-navigation/* directly — Expo Router wraps and owns it.
  2. File-based: routes live in app/. The filename IS the URL. _layout.tsx files define the layout for their directory.
  3. Typed routes ON. In app.json: "expo": { "experiments": { "typedRoutes": true } }. Use Href type for navigation, never raw strings.
  4. Layouts contain navigators. Screen files contain only the screen UI. Tab bar / stack header config goes in _layout.tsx.

Quick decision tree

  • "Tabs / Stack / Drawer — which?" → references/decision-tree.md
  • "How do I structure routes for an auth-gated section?" → references/patterns.md (Auth groups)
  • "Deep linking from notification or URL?" → references/deep-linking-setup.md
  • "Show me a real layout" → references/examples/

Common anti-patterns (NEVER do)

  • import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native' → use useRouter() from expo-router.
  • router.push('/profile/123') as raw string → typed routes: router.push({ pathname: '/profile/[id]', params: { id: '123' } }).
  • ❌ Defining a <Tabs.Screen> in a screen file — it goes in the parent _layout.tsx.
  • ❌ Hardcoded route strings scattered everywhere → use typed routes (expo-router/typed-routes provides static checking).

What ships with it

8 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.
