What it does
Rnrepo is an agent skill from software-mansion-labs/skills. Best practices for integrating and using RNRepo — Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-built React Native library artifacts that reduces native build times by up to 2×. Use when setting up, configuring, or troubleshooting RNRepo in a React Native or Expo project. Trigger on: 'RNRepo', 'rnrepo', 'slow builds', 'build times', 'prebuilt artifacts', 'prebuilt libraries', '@rnrepo/expo-config-plugin', '@rnrepo/build-tools', 'prebuilds-plugin', 'rnrepo.config.json', 'DISABLERNREPO', 'packages.rnrepo.org', 'Maven…
Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/configuration.md`, `references/installation.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Expo, React Native, Gradle and Android. The repository describes itself as: Software Mansion's set of skills for AI-assisted React Native development. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Troubleshooting RNRepo in a React Native
- Prebuilt artifacts
- Prebuilt libraries
- @rnrepo/expo-config-plugin
Example prompts
- “RNRepo”
- “rnrepo”
- “slow builds”
- “/rnrepo”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3f00cd. 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
Rnrepo loads about 611 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 176 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 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.

RNRepo
Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-building and distributing React Native library artifacts, reducing native build times by up to 2× with zero infrastructure changes.
Read the relevant reference for the topic at hand. All references are in references/.
Key facts
- Beta, New Architecture only. Works with React Native latest patches of 0.77, 0.78, 0.79 and all versions above 0.80.0.
- How it works: A Gradle plugin (Android) and CocoaPods plugin (iOS) intercept the build and substitute libraries with prebuilt artifacts from
packages.rnrepo.org. Falls back to source if a prebuild is unavailable. - Expo CNG: Use
@rnrepo/expo-config-plugin— it configures both Android and iOS automatically. - Standard RN: Install
@rnrepo/build-toolsand editandroid/build.gradle,android/app/build.gradle, andios/Podfilemanually. - Opt out per library: Add a
rnrepo.config.jsonwith adenyListat the project root. Required for libraries with native patches (Objective-C/Java/Kotlin). JS-only patches do NOT require opting out. - Opt out entirely: Set
DISABLE_RNREPO=1environment variable before the build command.

Questions about Rnrepo
What does Rnrepo do?
Best practices for integrating and using RNRepo — Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-built React Native library artifacts that reduces native build times by up to 2×. Rnrepo is an agent skill from software-mansion-labs/skills. Best practices for integrating and using RNRepo — Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-built React Native library artifacts that reduces native build times by up to 2×.
When should I use Rnrepo?
Rnrepo fits situations like: troubleshooting RNRepo in a React Native; prebuilt artifacts; prebuilt libraries; @rnrepo/expo-config-plugin.
How do I install Rnrepo in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add software-mansion-labs/skills --skill rnrepo -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/rnrepo in software-mansion-labs/skills) into .claude/skills/rnrepo in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Rnrepo in Codex?
Run `npx skills add software-mansion-labs/skills --skill rnrepo -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/rnrepo in software-mansion-labs/skills) into .agents/skills/rnrepo in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Rnrepo 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 software-mansion-labs/skills --skill rnrepo -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rnrepo, .gemini/skills/rnrepo, .github/skills/rnrepo and .opencode/skills/rnrepo in your project.
What does Rnrepo need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Rnrepo is instructions for the agent only.
Does Rnrepo 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 Rnrepo 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 Rnrepo use?
Rnrepo is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Rnrepo use?
About 611 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Rnrepo?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Rnrepo: Expo Brownfield Integration (mweinbach/agent-coworker, 156 stars), Upgrading React Native (callstackincubator/agent-skills, 1.7k stars), Expo Tailwind Setup (CherryHQ/cherry-studio-app, 4k stars) and Screenmap (aleqsio/screenmap, 244 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
