What it does

Create Component is an agent skill from gluestack/gluestack-ui. Create a new React Native/Expo component with guided workflow following compound component API pattern

Its SKILL.md is about 14k 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 Native and Expo. The repository describes itself as: React & React Native Components & Patterns (copy-paste components & patterns crafted with Tailwind CSS (NativeWind)).

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps

Example prompts

  • “/create-component”

Workflow steps

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

  1. ENTER PLAN MODE & DISCOVERY
  2. API DESIGN & CONFIRMATION
  3. TRADEOFFS & DESIGN DECISIONS
  4. PATTERN MATCHING & CONSISTENCY
  5. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN & CONFIRMATION
  6. TESTING & REVIEW
  7. FINALIZATION

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b712c85. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • reactnative.dev
    • w3.org

    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

Create Component loads about 14k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,422 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~14k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,422 words (~14,130 tokens).

“You are helping create a new component for gluestack-ui, a cross-platform React Native/Expo UI library. Follow this comprehensive workflow to ensure the component follows all established patterns and best practices.”
