Build and improve mobile apps with React Native and Expo using prioritized implementation rules. Covers faster lists, animations, images, navigation, state management, and native dependencies, with explanations and code examples for reviewing common implementation choices.
React Native and Expo best practices for building performant mobile apps. Use when building React Native components, optimizing list performance, implementing animations, or working with native modules. Triggers on tasks involving React Native, Expo, mobile performance, or native platform APIs.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Comprehensive best practices for React Native and Expo applications. Contains rules across multiple categories covering performance, animations, UI patterns, and platform-specific optimizations.
Reference these guidelines when:
| 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- |

Deploy apps and websites to Vercel and get a URL to share. The skill selects a deployment method based on Git integration and authentication, using preview deployments by default and production deployments when explicitly requested.
Deploy and manage Vercel projects using access tokens instead of interactive login. Covers selecting the right project and team, preview deployments, environment variables, domains, and checking deployment status and logs.
Refactor React components into reusable pieces with clearer interfaces. Provides patterns for replacing excessive boolean settings, sharing state through providers, and designing component libraries, with additional guidance for React 19 APIs.
Audit deployed Vercel projects for cost and performance improvements using production metrics. Examines usage, settings, and relevant code, then produces ranked recommendations supported by verified files and documentation matching the framework version.
Write, review, and refactor React and Next.js code using performance guidelines ranked by impact. Covers sequential data requests, downloaded code size, server work, and unnecessary rendering to guide concrete implementation improvements.
Add animations to React interfaces using the browser's built-in view transitions. Guides page changes, shared elements that move between views, list reordering, component appearance, and loading reveals, with CSS styling and Next.js integration guidance.
