argent-react-native-optimization

A performance-improvement workflow for React Native apps, which are mobile apps built with JavaScript and React. It measures the app first, identifies the main bottleneck, applies a focused fix, and measures again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow startup, excessive re-rendering, laggy interactions, and animation stutter, then verify whether a specific optimization helped.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with evidence about what is actually making the app slow, causing unnecessary screen updates, or producing uneven animation. It also checks whether a fix improves the target without causing other problems.

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

argent-react-native-optimization 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rules

  • Do not apply shotgun optimizations. Measure first, define what "good enough" looks like (target metric + threshold), fix the top offender, re-measure honestly.
  • Quick scanreact-profiler-renders for a live render count table. Identifies hot components instantly.
  • Deep measure — load argent-react-native-profiler skill. react-profiler-start → interact → react-profiler-stopreact-profiler-analyze.
  • Inspectreact-profiler-component-source per finding. react-profiler-fiber-tree to trace component ancestry and render cost.
  • Verify correctness - before fixing, recollect information from steps above and make a logical conclusion whether the approach is worth undertaking.
  • Fix — apply one fix. Validate with debugger-evaluate before committing.
  • Re-measure — report whether the target metric improved, regressed, or stayed flat. Check for regressions in other areas. If no net benefit or unacceptable tradeoffs, revert.
  • Profile for discovery, not only verification. Use the profiler to find issues static analysis missed, not only to confirm fixes.
  • One fix per cycle for architectural changes. Mechanical batch fixes (inline styles, index keys) can be grouped — re-profile once after the batch. When the measurement involves device interaction, record it as a flow (argent-create-flow skill) before the first run so all subsequent cycles replay identical steps.
  • React Compiler: if react-profiler-analyze reports reactCompilerEnabled: true, do NOT propose useCallback/useMemo/React.memo unless you confirmed compiler bail-out via react-profiler-fiber-tree (absent useMemoCache).
  • Sub-agents: Phases 1–2 dispatch sub-agents — one per file for lint results, one per checklist item for semantic. Sub-agents CANNOT touch the device - all profiling and E2E verification must happen in the main agent.

Pipeline

Lint and semantic sweeps catch deterministic issues cheaply. Profiling finds runtime bottlenecks that static analysis misses. Do both.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.

argent-react-native-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository software-mansion/argent (2,345 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,146 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
