What it does
Rtl is an agent skill from GetStream/stream-chat-react-native. Audit and maintain RTL (right-to-left) layout compatibility in stream-chat-react-native. Use when changing styles, positioning, flex layouts, swipe gestures, animated transforms, icons, text alignment, or anything that has a horizontal/directional axis.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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 and Positioning and messaging. It works with React Native. The repository describes itself as: 💬 React-Native Chat SDK ➜ Stream Chat. Includes a tutorial on building your own chat app experience using React-Native, React-Navigation and Stream.
When your agent uses it
- Changing styles
- Animated transforms
- Anything that has a horizontal/directional axis
Example prompts
- “/rtl”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Reading direction
- Spacing: prefer logical properties
- Absolute positioning: conditional
- Message-bubble alignment
- Swipe-to-reply / pan gestures
- Directional SVG icons
- Text content with mixed scripts
- Native Switch mirroring on iOS
- Inverted FlatList and horizontal scroll
- transform: translateX / scaleX
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ab5ecb. 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:
yarn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn, 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
Rtl loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,781 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,781 words (~4,384 tokens).
“Use this skill whenever code changes can affect users in RTL locales (Hebrew he ships today; Arabic/Persian/Urdu integrators are common). React Native flips some layout properties automatically via I18nManager.isRTL, but absolute positioning, hardcoded margins/paddings, transforms, swipe gestures, and SVG icons…”
