react-native-skills

react-native-skills is a skill for Codex from PracticalSwan/agent-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,573 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of practical guidelines for building React Native and Expo mobile apps, including components, animations, lists, and native platform features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or improving React Native or Expo apps, especially list scrolling, animations, media, native modules, fonts, or monorepo projects. A monorepo is one repository containing multiple related projects or packages.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common performance, rendering, navigation, and configuration problems when developing mobile apps with React Native.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

react-native-skills 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 today.

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 Skills

Comprehensive best practices for React Native and Expo applications. Contains rules across multiple categories covering performance, animations, UI patterns, and platform-specific optimizations.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Building React Native or Expo apps
  • Optimizing list and scroll performance
  • Implementing animations with Reanimated
  • Working with images and media
  • Configuring native modules or fonts
  • Structuring monorepo projects with native dependencies

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 List Performance CRITICAL list-performance-
2 Animation HIGH animation-
3 Navigation HIGH navigation-
4 UI Patterns HIGH ui-
5 State Management MEDIUM react-state-
6 Rendering MEDIUM rendering-
7 Monorepo MEDIUM monorepo-
8 Configuration LOW fonts-, imports-

Quick Reference

1. List Performance (CRITICAL)

  • list-performance-virtualize - Use FlashList for large lists
  • list-performance-item-memo - Memoize list item components
  • list-performance-callbacks - Stabilize callback references
  • list-performance-inline-objects - Avoid inline style objects
  • list-performance-function-references - Extract functions outside render
  • list-performance-images - Optimize images in lists
  • list-performance-item-expensive - Move expensive work outside items
  • list-performance-item-types - Use item types for heterogeneous lists

2. Animation (HIGH)

  • animation-gpu-properties - Animate only transform and opacity
  • animation-derived-value - Use useDerivedValue for computed animations
  • animation-gesture-detector-press - Use Gesture.Tap instead of Pressable

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.
