Is this skill compatible with standard React Native projects?

While it is heavily optimized for the Expo ecosystem and expo-mcp workflows, the production patterns and component best practices are highly relevant for any React Native project.

How does this skill improve mobile app performance?

It enforces production patterns such as FlatList batching, windowing, component memoization, and the use of StyleSheet.create to minimize re-renders and overhead.

Why should I use expo-mcp instead of npm install with this skill?

expo-mcp ensures that all added libraries are compatible with your specific Expo SDK version and provides automatic setup documentation to prevent configuration errors.

What testing capabilities does this skill provide?

The skill mandates the use of testIDs on all interactive elements, allowing Claude to autonomously find views, simulate taps, and verify UI states using expo-mcp.

Mobile Development

Accelerates mobile app development by enforcing production-grade React Native patterns and integrating expo-mcp for package management.

About

This skill optimizes the mobile development workflow within Claude Code by integrating the expo-mcp tool for all package operations and documentation searches, ensuring full compatibility with the Expo SDK. It enforces high-performance production patterns inspired by industry-leading libraries like Gifted Chat and Stream, focusing on memoized components, optimized FlatLists, and robust Zustand state management with AsyncStorage persistence. By mandating the use of testIDs across all interactive elements, it enables seamless autonomous testing and verification, making it an essential tool for building scalable, production-ready iOS and Android applications.
