What is the recommended approach for animations?

It advocates for using React Native Reanimated for high-performance, worklet-based animations and the Gesture Handler library for responsive touch interactions.

Does this work with both Expo and React Native CLI?

Yes, it provides best practices applicable to both environments, including specific recommendations for Expo-exclusive libraries like expo-image and config plugins.

How does it handle navigation?

The skill prioritizes native stack and native tab navigators over JS-based alternatives to ensure the application feels integrated with the underlying mobile OS.

How does this skill improve mobile app performance?

The skill enforces critical performance rules such as list virtualization via FlashList, component memoization, and restricting animations to GPU-friendly properties like transform and opacity.
