What it does

React Native Elements is an agent skill from pproenca/dot-skills. React Native Elements UI component library best practices for performance, theming, and proper component usage. Use when building React Native apps with RNE, configuring themes, optimizing lists with ListItem, or reviewing RNE component code.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 51 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/templates/_template.md`, `metadata.json` and `references/_sections.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Theming and dark mode. It works with React Native. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills following the Agent Skills open format. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Configuring themes
Optimizing lists with ListItem
Reviewing RNE component code

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf93c57. 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

React Native Elements loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~32k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~32k

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.

Can I use React Native Elements in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pproenca/dot-skills --skill react-native-elements -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/react-native-elements, .gemini/skills/react-native-elements, .github/skills/react-native-elements and .opencode/skills/react-native-elements in your project.

What does React Native Elements need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: React Native Elements is instructions for the agent only.

Does React Native Elements access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is React Native Elements safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does React Native Elements use?
