What it does

Cometchat React Native Features is an agent skill from cometchat/cometchat-skills. Turn a named CometChat capability on in a React Native app — look it up in the feature oracle, take the right enablement branch (already-on / dashboard extension / AI toggle / npm package / SDK fallback), and wire only what that branch needs. Triggers: enable reactions React Native, add polls RN chat, turn on smart replies RN, add voice video calling RN, enable message translation RN, add stickers RN, enable read receipts, typing indicator React Native, collaborative whiteboard.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: React Native =0.77; @cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native ^5.4.0; @cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native ^4.0.28

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Social media graphics. It works with CometChat, React Native and npm. The repository describes itself as: Add CometChat chat & messaging and voice & video calls to any React, Next.js, React Native, Angular, Android, iOS, or Flutter project through your AI coding agent. Works with… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps
  • Tasks that involve Social media graphics

Example prompts

  • “/cometchat-react-native-features”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): React Native >=0.77; @cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native ^5.4.0; @cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native ^4.0.28

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. look the feature up in the oracle
  2. take exactly one branch
  3. wire only what the branch needs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. 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.

  • Compatibility

    React Native >=0.77; @cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native ^5.4.0; @cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native ^4.0.28

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cometchat React Native Features loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 799 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

chat cometchat react-native features extensions enablement dashboard ai calls

Ground truth: features.rn-v5.json (48 entries) + catalog rn-v5.json. The oracle decides, not memory. Every claim below — whether a capability exists, whether it is on by default, which components render it — comes from that file. Fetch props via core/references/docs-map.md.

Companion skills (read first)

  • cometchat-react-native-core — install, provider chain, init→login→render. Assumed, not repeated here.

Use this skill when

  • "enable reactions / polls / translation / stickers" · "turn on smart replies"
  • "add voice and video calling" · "is X supported" · "how do I switch on Y"

Prerequisites & install

None beyond core unless the feature's branch says otherwise (only two features install a package).

Step 1 — look the feature up in the oracle

Find the entry in features.rn-v5.json. If there is no entry, the feature does not exist — say so rather than inventing an API. The entry tells you everything:

FieldWhat it decides
category · enablementwhich branch below to take
ui_componentswhat to render (all validated against the catalog)
sdk_fallbackthe SDK methods to use when the kit has no component
needs_stitchingyou must wire host state, not just drop a component in
needs_dashboarda dashboard toggle is required as well as code
auto_rendered_uithe kit renders it — emit no client code
platform_deltahow React Native differs from React here. Read it before writing anything.
docs_gapthe docs don't cover this yet — flag it, don't silently source-fill

Step 2 — take exactly one branch

A. Already on — category: default, enablement: auto (12 features)

Nothing to enable. Reactions, mentions, typing indicators, receipts, threads and attachments are core messaging in v5, not extensions.

⚠️ Do not offer these as "enable this extension". The dashboard still lists legacy Reactions and Mentions extensions; their own docs say they are already part of core and scheduled for deprecation. Suggesting them is a bug, not a helpful extra — it is the exact defect the React pack hit (AUDIT-077). Customization is via component props, not enablement.

B. Dashboard extension — enablement: dashboard-extension (20 features)

Enable in the CometChat dashboard first, then wire any ui_components. Polls, stickers, translation, link preview, whiteboard, document and similar. Without the dashboard step the code compiles and silently does nothing.

Some are auto_rendered_ui: true (e.g. polls' bubble) — the message list renders them once enabled. Emit no client code for those; hand-wiring produces a duplicate.

C. AI — category: ai, needs_dashboard: true (4 features)

Two steps, and the second is the one people miss: enable the feature in the dashboard and set the code prop. The props default to off, so a dashboard-only change looks like nothing happened. Smart replies, conversation starter, conversation summary, AI assistant. Fetch the exact prop name from /ui-kit/react-native/ai-features.md — do not guess it.

D. npm package — enablement: npm-package (2 features)

Only calling. React Native needs its own calls SDK:

bash
npm install @cometchat/calls-sdk-react-native@5   # + its 6 pinned peer deps — exact list in cometchat-react-native-calls
cd ios && pod install

⚠️ Not @cometchat/calls-sdk-javascript — that is the web package and will not work. Its peers include react-native-webrtc, a native module: declare camera and microphone permissions (NSCameraUsageDescription / NSMicrophoneUsageDescription; CAMERA / RECORD_AUDIO). Simulators cannot capture camera or mic — calling must be verified on a real device. Depth lives in cometchat-react-native-calls.

Show full SKILL.md (308 more words)Show less
E. SDK fallback — the kit has no component (3 features)

Kit v5 removed the detail and management screens. sdk_fallback names the methods:

FeatureWhyUse
group-member-managementno add/ban/transfer componentsaddMembersToGroup · banGroupMember · unbanGroupMember · transferGroupOwnership · BannedMembersRequestBuilder
user-group-detailsno details componentgetUser · getGroup · updateGroup
call-log-detailsonly the list shipsCometChatCalls.CallLogRequestBuilder (calls SDK)

Banned members have no UI surface at all. An app that can ban but cannot view or unban is an unclosed round-trip — ship both halves.

Do not invent a layout: cite the official sample app's implementation (github.com/cometchat/cometchat-uikit-react-native/tree/v5/examples/SampleApp). Those are sample-app directory paths, never imports.

Step 3 — wire only what the branch needs

Render the entry's ui_components and nothing else. A feature that is auto_rendered_ui gets no client code. A feature that is needs_stitching gets host state and callbacks wired, not just a mount.

Never enable a neighbouring feature because it seemed related — that is unrequested scope.

Known docs gaps (flag, don't silently source-fill)

reactions · typing-indicators · delivery-read-receipts · media-file-attachments (the whole multi-attachment cluster) · and the three SDK-fallback features above carry a docs_gap marker. Build from the catalog and kit source, and tell the developer the page is missing.

Common pitfalls

  1. Offering reactions/mentions as an extension — they are core in v5; the dashboard entries are legacy.
  2. Dashboard toggled, prop not set — AI features default to off in code.
  3. Installing the web calls SDK — RN has its own.
  4. Hand-wiring an auto_rendered_ui feature — duplicate UI.
  5. Assuming a feature exists — no oracle entry means no feature.
  6. Testing calls on a simulator — no camera or mic capture.

Verify it works

  • The feature has an entry in features.rn-v5.json and you took its branch.
  • Every emitted component appears in catalogs/rn-v5.json.
  • npm run verify:fences:rn-v5 is green.
  • On device: the capability actually appears — a dashboard-gated feature with no code change, or a code change with no dashboard step, produces silence rather than an error.
