What this skill does

Intro in this page language first. The official description stays in its original wording; we do not rewrite SKILL.md.

When to use it

This Skill

How agents load it

Per Agent Skills progressive disclosure: name and description load at startup (~100 tokens); the full SKILL.md body loads when the skill activates; scripts/, references/, and assets/ load only as needed. This file's sections: React Native Architecture; When to Use This Skill; Core Concepts; 1. Project Structure; 2. Expo vs Bare React Native; Quick Start. It includes spec-recommended sections: input/output examples.

File analysis

File analysis: besides SKILL.md, the body references references/details.md. Those resources load on demand.

  1. DiscoverThe client exposes names and descriptions to the agent.
  2. ActivateYour request or the task context selects the skill and loads its instructions.
  3. Load resourcesReferenced scripts, documentation and assets are used when needed.
Files referenced by the instructions · 1
  • references/details.md

These paths are extracted from the text. Check the upstream package to verify the files exist.

Invocation syntax and available tools depend on your Agent client. Client integration guide ↗

Install this skill

Skills CLI ↗

Choose the target agent and installation scope, keep referenced package files, then verify the skill appears in the client's catalog.

This skill references supporting files. Retrieve the complete directory from the source; copying SKILL.md alone may leave missing dependencies.

Ask your Agent to install

Copy these instructions to a compatible agent and confirm the target directory matches your client.

Install the agent skill "react-native-architecture" into my project. The full SKILL.md and official description are at https://zicq.com/en/skills/skl-7c2c1f7d1f2e3752-React-Native-Architecture.html
Save it as .cursor/skills/react-native-architecture/SKILL.md or .claude/skills/react-native-architecture/SKILL.md and keep the frontmatter name and description exactly as-is.
This skill also ships scripts/, references/, or assets/ — fetch the whole folder from https://github.com/wshobson/agents instead of creating only a SKILL.md.

Full package on GitHub ↗

Install from the terminal · Skills CLI

Requires Node.js and npx. First inspect the repository's skill list to confirm the name.

npx skills add 'https://github.com/wshobson/agents' --list

npx skills add 'https://github.com/wshobson/agents' --skill 'react-native-architecture'

The CLI lets you choose the agent interactively. The default scope is the project; use -g for user scope. Confirm package availability with the discovery command, then use npx skills list to inspect installed skills.

--- name: react-native-architecture description: Build production React Native apps with Expo, navigation, native modules, offline sync, and cross-platform patterns. Use when developing mobile apps, implementing native integrations, or architecting React Native projects. --- # React Native Architecture Production-ready patterns for React Native development with Expo, including navigation, state management, native modules, and offline-first architecture. ## When to Use This Skill - Starting a new React Native or Expo project - Implementing complex navigation patterns - Integrating native modules and platform APIs - Building offline-first mobile applications - Optimizing React Native performance - Setting up CI/CD for mobile releases ## Core Concepts ### 1. Project Structure ``` src/ ├── app/ # Expo Router screens │ ├── (auth)/ # Auth group │ ├── (tabs)/ # Tab navigation │ └── _layout.tsx # Root layout ├── components/ │ ├── ui/ # Reusable UI components │ └── features/ # Feature-specific components ├── hooks/ # Custom hooks ├── services/ # API and native services ├── stores/ # State management ├── utils/ # Utilities └── types/ # TypeScript types ``` ### 2. Expo vs Bare React Native | Feature | Expo | Bare RN | | ------------------ | -------------- | -------------- | | Setup complexity | Low | High | | Native modules | EAS Build | Manual linking | | OTA updates | Built-in | Manual setup | | Build service | EAS | Custom CI | | Custom native code | Config plugins | Direct access | ## Quick Start ```bash # Create new Expo project npx create-expo-app@latest my-app -t expo-template-blank-typescript # Install essential dependencies npx expo install expo-router expo-status-bar react-native-safe-area-context npx expo install @react-native-async-storage/async-storage npx expo install expo-secure-store expo-haptics ``` ```typescript // app/_layout.tsx import { Stack } from 'expo-router' import { ThemeProvider } from '@/providers/ThemeProvider' import { QueryProvider } from '@/providers/QueryProvider' export default function RootLayout() { return ( ) } ``` ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices ### Do's - **Use Expo** - Faster development, OTA updates, managed native code - **FlashList over FlatList** - Better performance for long lists - **Memoize components** - Prevent unnecessary re-renders - **Use Reanimated** - 60fps animations on native thread - **Test on real devices** - Simulators miss real-world issues ### Don'ts - **Don't inline styles** - Use StyleSheet.create for performance - **Don't fetch in render** - Use useEffect or React Query - **Don't ignore platform differences** - Test on both iOS and Android - **Don't store secrets in code** - Use environment variables - **Don't skip error boundaries** - Mobile crashes are unforgiving
