native-modules

native-modules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 39 tokens per session (295 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for connecting mobile apps to device features and platform-specific native software, such as cameras, Bluetooth, NFC, biometrics, or secure hardware.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when integrating device APIs, third-party native SDKs, biometric login, cryptography, or intensive on-device processing.
Why use it?
It helps decide when JavaScript or React Native is sufficient and when platform-native code is needed. It also addresses behaviour that differs between mobile platforms.

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

native-modules 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

Skill: Native Module Integration

When to load

When integrating device APIs, bridging to native SDKs, or debugging platform-specific behavior.

When to Use Native Modules

Use Native Module:
- Device hardware (camera, accelerometer, NFC, Bluetooth)
- Cryptographic operations (device secure enclave)
- Computation-intensive tasks (image processing, on-device ML)
- Third-party SDKs without JS wrapper

Stay in JS/React Native:
- UI rendering and interactions
- Network requests
- State management
- Business logic not requiring device APIs

Biometric Authentication

import ReactNativeBiometrics from 'react-native-biometrics';

export async function authenticateWithBiometrics(): Promise<boolean> {
  const rnBiometrics = new ReactNativeBiometrics({ allowDeviceCredentials: true });
  const { biometryType } = await rnBiometrics.isSensorAvailable();
  if (!biometryType) return authenticateWithPin();

  const { success } = await rnBiometrics.simplePrompt({
    promptMessage: biometryType === 'FaceID' ? 'Confirm with Face ID' : 'Confirm with fingerprint'
  });
  return success;
}

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.

native-modules is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 295 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
