What it does
React Native Skills is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when working with react-native-skills tasks or workflows
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 39 other files (for example `rules/_sections.md`, `rules/_template.md` and `rules/animation-derived-value.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native and Expo. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Working with react-native-skills tasks
- Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps
Example prompts
- “/react-native-skills”
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 1e53ce2. 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 Skills loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

React Native Skills
Comprehensive best practices for React Native and Expo applications. Contains rules across multiple categories covering performance, animations, UI patterns, and platform-specific optimizations.
When to Use
Reference these guidelines when:
- Building React Native or Expo apps
- Optimizing list and scroll performance
- Implementing animations with Reanimated
- Working with images and media
- Configuring native modules or fonts
- Structuring monorepo projects with native dependencies
Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | List Performance | CRITICAL | list-performance- |
| 2 | Animation | HIGH | animation- |
| 3 | Navigation | HIGH | navigation- |
| 4 | UI Patterns | HIGH | ui- |
| 5 | State Management | MEDIUM | react-state- |
| 6 | Rendering | MEDIUM | rendering- |
| 7 | Monorepo | MEDIUM | monorepo- |
| 8 | Configuration | LOW | fonts-, imports- |
Quick Reference
1. List Performance (CRITICAL)
list-performance-virtualize- Use FlashList for large listslist-performance-item-memo- Memoize list item componentslist-performance-callbacks- Stabilize callback referenceslist-performance-inline-objects- Avoid inline style objectslist-performance-function-references- Extract functions outside renderlist-performance-images- Optimize images in listslist-performance-item-expensive- Move expensive work outside itemslist-performance-item-types- Use item types for heterogeneous lists
2. Animation (HIGH)
animation-gpu-properties- Animate only transform and opacityanimation-derived-value- Use useDerivedValue for computed animationsanimation-gesture-detector-press- Use Gesture.Tap instead of Pressable
3. Navigation (HIGH)
navigation-native-navigators- Use native stack and native tabs over JS navigators
4. UI Patterns (HIGH)
ui-expo-image- Use expo-image for all imagesui-image-gallery- Use Galeria for image lightboxesui-pressable- Use Pressable over TouchableOpacityui-safe-area-scroll- Handle safe areas in ScrollViewsui-scrollview-content-inset- Use contentInset for headersui-menus- Use native context menusui-native-modals- Use native modals when possibleui-measure-views- Use onLayout, not measure()ui-styling- Use StyleSheet.create or Nativewind

5. State Management (MEDIUM)
react-state-minimize- Minimize state subscriptionsreact-state-dispatcher- Use dispatcher pattern for callbacksreact-state-fallback- Show fallback on first renderreact-compiler-destructure-functions- Destructure for React Compilerreact-compiler-reanimated-shared-values- Handle shared values with compiler
6. Rendering (MEDIUM)
rendering-text-in-text-component- Wrap text in Text componentsrendering-no-falsy-and- Avoid falsy && for conditional rendering
7. Monorepo (MEDIUM)
monorepo-native-deps-in-app- Keep native dependencies in app packagemonorepo-single-dependency-versions- Use single versions across packages
8. Configuration (LOW)
fonts-config-plugin- Use config plugins for custom fontsimports-design-system-folder- Organize design system importsjs-hoist-intl- Hoist Intl object creation
How to Use
Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:
rules/list-performance-virtualize.md
rules/animation-gpu-properties.mdEach rule file contains:
- Brief explanation of why it matters
- Incorrect code example with explanation
- Correct code example with explanation
- Additional context and references
Full Compiled Document
For the complete guide with all rules expanded: AGENTS.md
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
