What it does

React Native Patterns is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. Build mobile apps with React Native and Expo — navigation, platform-specific code, performance, and native modules.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native, Expo and React. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps

Example prompts

  • “/react-native-patterns”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Patterns loads about 773 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~773

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 Patterns

Build production-quality mobile apps with React Native and Expo.

Project Setup

Expo (recommended for most projects):

bash
npx create-expo-app@latest my-app
cd my-app
npx expo start

Bare React Native (when you need full native control):

bash
npx @react-native-community/cli init MyApp

Use Expo unless you need a custom native module that Expo doesn't support.

Navigation

Use expo-router (file-based routing) or @react-navigation/native:

app/
├── _layout.tsx        # Root layout (tabs, stack, drawer)
├── index.tsx          # Home screen
├── (tabs)/
│   ├── _layout.tsx    # Tab navigator
│   ├── home.tsx
│   ├── profile.tsx
│   └── settings.tsx
└── [id].tsx           # Dynamic route

Platform-Specific Code

typescript
import { Platform } from 'react-native';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  shadow: Platform.select({
    ios: { shadowColor: '#000', shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 }, shadowOpacity: 0.1 },
    android: { elevation: 4 },
  }),
});

For larger differences, use platform-specific files:

  • Component.ios.tsx
  • Component.android.tsx

Styling

Use StyleSheet.create for performance (styles are sent to native once):

typescript
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: { flex: 1, padding: 16 },
  title: { fontSize: 24, fontWeight: '700' },
});

For a Tailwind-like experience, use nativewind:

tsx
<View className="flex-1 p-4">
  <Text className="text-2xl font-bold">Hello</Text>
</View>

Performance

FlatList over ScrollView for long lists:

tsx
<FlatList
  data={items}
  keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
  renderItem={({ item }) => <ItemRow item={item} />}
  initialNumToRender={10}
  maxToRenderPerBatch={5}
  windowSize={5}
/>

Memoize expensive components:

tsx
const ItemRow = React.memo(({ item }: { item: Item }) => (
  <View><Text>{item.name}</Text></View>
));

Avoid:

  • Inline styles (creates new objects every render)
  • Anonymous functions in renderItem
  • Large images without caching (expo-image handles this)

Common Libraries

NeedLibrary
Navigationexpo-router or @react-navigation/native
Statezustand, jotai, or React context
Data fetching@tanstack/react-query
Imagesexpo-image
Icons@expo/vector-icons
Storageexpo-secure-store (sensitive), @react-native-async-storage/async-storage (general)
Animationsreact-native-reanimated
Gesturesreact-native-gesture-handler
Formsreact-hook-form + zod

Tips

  • Test on both iOS and Android from the start, not at the end
  • Use expo-dev-client for custom native modules with Expo
  • Handle safe areas with react-native-safe-area-context
  • Always handle keyboard avoidance for forms (KeyboardAvoidingView)
  • Use expo-updates for OTA updates in production
