How does it prevent broken builds?

The skill enforces a 'prebuild --clean' check to verify that all configuration plugins are working correctly and regenerating native files properly before you merge the upgrade.

Can this skill automatically update my code?

It guides the process using command-line tools like 'npx expo install' and 'expo-doctor' while performing safety checks to ensure your native modules are compatible with the target version.

Does it support the Expo Bare Workflow?

Yes, it provides specific guidance for regenerating native directories and auditing third-party modules against specific React Native versions required by the SDK.

What happens if an upgrade fails midway?

The skill requires a documented rollback strategy and the use of a dedicated upgrade branch before starting, ensuring you can quickly revert to a known good state.
