expo-developer-tools is a skill for Claude Code from simiancraft/simiancraft-skills. It costs 168 tokens per session (603 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the built-in debugging tools for Expo and React Native apps, which are apps built with JavaScript for iOS and Android. It explains the developer menu, React Native DevTools, and Rozenite extensions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reloading an app, inspecting elements, viewing logs and network requests, checking memory or performance, or examining React components.
Why use it?
It helps you understand what each debugging panel shows without confusing the guide with the tools that operate the simulator or emulator.

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

expo-developer-tools 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 10d 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

Expo Developer Tools (shared iOS + Android)

The in-app developer tooling of an Expo / React Native app: the developer menu and the React Native DevTools it opens. This surface is a React Native feature, so it is the same on iOS and Android; the only platform-divergent part is the gesture that opens the menu. That is why this is a shared skill: ios-simulator / expo-ios-simulator and android-emulator-harness each say how to open the menu on their platform, then point here for what the items and panels mean.

This skill is the interpretive field guide: what each tool shows and how an agent reads it. It is not a driver; driving the app lives in the platform simulator/emulator skills.

Layout (in the order you meet the tools)

  1. references/opening.md: the open-gesture matrix (the one platform-divergent thing).
  2. references/dev-menu.md: the developer-menu items, top to bottom as the app presents them.
  3. references/react-native-devtools.md: the panels behind "Open DevTools".
  4. references/rozenite.md: Rozenite plugins, the escape hatch when a built-in panel is not enough.
  5. references/techniques.md: cross-tool techniques (named after the technique), at the bottom.

Out of scope

Driving the app (tapping, typing, screenshots) -> the platform skills. Web debugging (Chrome DevTools, Playwright) -> the web skills; the web diverges from this mobile menu entirely.

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
