At a glance

Measure time from navigation tap to screen fully loaded and interactive.

  • Works in 3 steps: onNavigationStart - user taps (source… → onViewAppear - destination view visible → onContentReady - data loaded, interactive
  • Tracking screen transitions
  • SKILL.md covers Phases, When to Use, Key Thresholds and Measurement Points, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Navigation Latency is an agent skill from nexus-labs-automation/mobile-observability. Measure time from navigation tap to screen fully loaded and interactive. Use when tracking screen transitions, deep links, or tab switches.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 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. It works with React Native, Android and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for mobile app observability: crash reporting, performance monitoring, and instrumentation for iOS, Android, and React Native. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tracking screen transitions

Example prompts

  • “/navigation-latency”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. onNavigationStart - user taps (source screen)
  2. onViewAppear - destination view visible
  3. onContentReady - data loaded, interactive

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 488c97f. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Navigation Latency loads about 395 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~395

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.

Navigation Latency

Time from tap to destination screen interactive (TTI).

Phases

TAP → TRANSITION → VIEW_INIT → DATA_LOAD → INTERACTIVE
     |_____________________________________________|
                   Navigation Latency

When to Use

  • Tab bar taps
  • List item → detail screen
  • Deep link → target screen
  • Any screen-to-screen transition

Key Thresholds

RatingDuration
Good<400ms
Acceptable<1s
Poor>1s

Measurement Points

  1. onNavigationStart - user taps (source screen)
  2. onViewAppear - destination view visible
  3. onContentReady - data loaded, interactive

Implementation

See references/ui-performance.md (Navigation Latency section) for:

  • iOS: NavigationLatencyTracker with os_signpost
  • Android: Fragment/Activity lifecycle hooks
  • React Native: React Navigation listeners

Common Mistakes

  • Measuring only view appear (missing data load)
  • Not correlating source → destination
  • Ignoring warm vs cold screen loads
  • See skills/interaction-latency for button/tap response times (vs full screen loads)
  • Combine with skills/user-journey-tracking to correlate navigation with user intent
