At a glance

Software Mansion's best practices for SVG rendering in React Native apps using React Native SVG.

  • Rendering vector graphics
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Any SVG content
  • : react-native-svg

What it does

SVG is an agent skill from kingstinct/react-native-healthkit. Software Mansion's best practices for SVG rendering in React Native apps using React Native SVG. Use when rendering vector graphics, icons, charts, illustrations, or any SVG content. Trigger on: 'react-native-svg', 'SVG', 'vector graphics', 'render icon', 'draw shape', 'chart', 'path', 'Svg component', 'SvgUri', 'SvgXml', 'SvgCss', 'FilterImage', 'SVG filter', or any request to display scalable vector content in a React Native app.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `svg.md` and `when-to-use.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native. The repository describes itself as: HealthKit bindings for React Native with TypeScript. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Rendering vector graphics
  • Any SVG content
  • : react-native-svg
  • Vector graphics

Example prompts

  • “react-native-svg”
  • “vector graphics”
  • “render icon”
  • “/svg”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e4e186. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

SVG loads about 255 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 55 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~255

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.
