What it does

React Native Expo is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Build React Native 0.76+ apps with Expo SDK 52. Covers mandatory New Architecture (0.82+), React 19 changes (propTypes/forwardRef removal), new CSS (display: contents, mixBlendMode, outline), Swift iOS template, and DevTools migration. Use when: building Expo apps, migrating to New Architecture, or troubleshooting "Fabric component not found", "propTypes not a function", "TurboModule not registered", or Swift AppDelegate errors.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Expo, React Native, React and iOS. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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:

    • npx
    • npm
    • bundle

    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:

    • react-native-community.github.io

    Also links to:

    • reactnative.dev
    • react.dev
    • redux-toolkit.js.org
    • github.com
    • docs.expo.dev

    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 Native Expo loads about 6.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,678 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.3k

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 1,678 words (~6,337 tokens).

“Status: Production Ready Last Updated: 2025-11-22 Dependencies: Node.js 18+, Expo CLI Latest Versions: react-native@0.82, expo@~52.0.0, react@19.1”
