What it does

React Native Design is an agent skill from wshobson/agents. Master React Native styling, navigation, and Reanimated animations for cross-platform mobile development. Use when building React Native apps, implementing navigation patterns, or creating performant animations.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/details.md`, `references/navigation-patterns.md` and `references/reanimated-patterns.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native, React and Android. The repository describes itself as: Multi-harness agentic plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, and Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building React Native apps
  • Implementing navigation patterns
  • Creating performant animations

Example prompts

  • “/react-native-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use TypeScript: Define navigation and prop types for type safety
  2. Memoize Components: Use React.memo and useCallback to prevent unnecessary rerenders
  3. Run Animations on UI Thread: Use Reanimated worklets for 60fps animations
  4. Avoid Inline Styles: Use StyleSheet.create for performance
  5. Handle Safe Areas: Use SafeAreaView or useSafeAreaInsets
  6. Test on Real Devices: Simulator/emulator performance differs from real devices
  7. Use FlatList for Lists: Never use ScrollView with map for long lists
  8. Platform-Specific Code: Use Platform.select for iOS/Android differences

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46891e7. 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 (its code samples are typescript).

    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 Design loads about 988 tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~988
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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.

Quick Start Component

typescript
import React from 'react';
import {
  View,
  Text,
  StyleSheet,
  Pressable,
  Image,
} from 'react-native';
import Animated, {
  useSharedValue,
  useAnimatedStyle,
  withSpring,
} from 'react-native-reanimated';

interface ItemCardProps {
  title: string;
  subtitle: string;
  imageUrl: string;
  onPress: () => void;
}

const AnimatedPressable = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(Pressable);

export function ItemCard({ title, subtitle, imageUrl, onPress }: ItemCardProps) {
  const scale = useSharedValue(1);

  const animatedStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => ({
    transform: [{ scale: scale.value }],
  }));

  return (
    <AnimatedPressable
      style={[styles.card, animatedStyle]}
      onPress={onPress}
      onPressIn={() => { scale.value = withSpring(0.97); }}
      onPressOut={() => { scale.value = withSpring(1); }}
    >
      <Image source={{ uri: imageUrl }} style={styles.image} />
      <View style={styles.content}>
        <Text style={styles.title} numberOfLines={1}>
          {title}
        </Text>
        <Text style={styles.subtitle} numberOfLines={2}>
          {subtitle}
        </Text>
      </View>
    </AnimatedPressable>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  card: {
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
    borderRadius: 16,
    overflow: 'hidden',
    shadowColor: '#000',
    shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 },
    shadowOpacity: 0.1,
    shadowRadius: 8,
    elevation: 4,
  },
  image: {
    width: '100%',
    height: 160,
    backgroundColor: '#f3f4f6',
  },
  content: {
    padding: 16,
    gap: 4,
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 18,
    fontWeight: '600',
    color: '#1f2937',
  },
  subtitle: {
    fontSize: 14,
    color: '#6b7280',
    lineHeight: 20,
  },
});

Best Practices

  1. Use TypeScript: Define navigation and prop types for type safety
  2. Memoize Components: Use React.memo and useCallback to prevent unnecessary rerenders
  3. Run Animations on UI Thread: Use Reanimated worklets for 60fps animations
  4. Avoid Inline Styles: Use StyleSheet.create for performance
  5. Handle Safe Areas: Use SafeAreaView or useSafeAreaInsets
  6. Test on Real Devices: Simulator/emulator performance differs from real devices
  7. Use FlatList for Lists: Never use ScrollView with map for long lists
  8. Platform-Specific Code: Use Platform.select for iOS/Android differences

Common Issues

  • Gesture Conflicts: Wrap gestures with GestureDetector and use simultaneousHandlers
  • Navigation Type Errors: Define ParamList types for all navigators
  • Animation Jank: Move animations to UI thread with runOnUI worklets
  • Memory Leaks: Cancel animations and cleanup in useEffect
  • Font Loading: Use expo-font or react-native-asset for custom fonts
  • Safe Area Issues: Test on notched devices (iPhone, Android with cutouts)
