At a glance

Inspect and profile React Native component trees from agent-device.

  • React Native performance
  • Calls npm
  • Slow components
  • Excessive rerenders

What it does

React Devtools is an agent skill from CherryHQ/cherry-studio-app. Inspect and profile React Native component trees from agent-device. Use for React Native performance, profiling, props, state, hooks, render causes, slow components, excessive rerenders, or questions like why a component rerendered.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React and React Native. The repository describes itself as: 🍒 This is the mobile version of Cherry Studio. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • React Native performance
  • Slow components
  • Excessive rerenders
  • Questions like why a component rerendered

Example prompts

  • “/react-devtools”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172945d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

React Devtools loads about 311 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~311

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Inspect and profile React Native component trees from agent-device. Use for React Native performance, profiling, props, state, hooks, render causes, slow components, excessive rerenders, or questions like why a component rerendered.

react-devtools

Router for React Native internals. Private setup before using this skill:

bash
agent-device --version

Require agent-device >= 0.14.0; older CLIs lack these help topics. If older, run npm install -g agent-device@latest, recheck, then continue. If you cannot upgrade, stop and tell the user. Do not include version/upgrade commands in final plans.

Read current CLI guidance:

bash
agent-device help react-devtools

Use agent-device react-devtools ... for component tree, props, state, hooks, render ownership, performance profiling, slow components, or rerenders. Use normal agent-device commands for visible UI, refs, screenshots, logs, network, or device-level perf.

Keep reads bounded with --depth/find, treat @c refs as reload-local, and profile only the investigated interaction. Let help react-devtools provide exact command shapes, remote bridge ordering, pinned package details, and current workflow guidance.
