Summary

The Vercel React Native Skills agent skill provides comprehensive best practices for building performant mobile applications, covering critical aspects like list virtualization, efficient animations, and robust UI patterns in React Native and Expo. This agent skill is invaluable for React Native and Expo developers and teams focused on optimizing mobile app performance, particularly in areas like large lists, complex animations, and platform-specific UI. This is a well-adopted skill with solid traction in the registry. It guides the AI agent to enforce rules across priority categories, such as ensuring `list-performance-virtualize` by recommending FlashList for large lists and `animation-gpu-properties` for efficient GPU-bound animations. It also advises on using `expo-image` for all images, preferring native navigation over JavaScript-based alternatives, and structuring monorepos with native dependencies correctly.

Skill Definition

Comprehensive best practices for React Native and Expo applications. Contains rules across multiple categories covering performance, animations, UI patterns, and platform-specific optimizations.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Building React Native or Expo apps
Optimizing list and scroll performance
Implementing animations with Reanimated
Working with images and media
Configuring native modules or fonts
Structuring monorepo projects with native dependencies

Rule Categories by Priority

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-`

Quick Reference

1. List Performance (CRITICAL)

list-performance-virtualize - Use FlashList for large lists
list-performance-item-memo - Memoize list item components
list-performance-callbacks - Stabilize callback references
list-performance-inline-objects - Avoid inline style objects
list-performance-function-references - Extract functions outside render
list-performance-images - Optimize images in lists
list-performance-item-expensive - Move expensive work outside items
list-performance-item-types - Use item types for heterogeneous lists

2. Animation (HIGH)

animation-gpu-properties - Animate only transform and opacity
animation-derived-value - Use useDerivedValue for computed animations
animation-gesture-detector-press - Use Gesture.Tap instead of Pressable

3. Navigation (HIGH)

navigation-native-navigators - Use native stack and native tabs over JS navigators

4. UI Patterns (HIGH)

ui-expo-image - Use expo-image for all images
ui-image-gallery - Use Galeria for image lightboxes
ui-pressable - Use Pressable over TouchableOpacity
ui-safe-area-scroll - Handle safe areas in ScrollViews
ui-scrollview-content-inset - Use contentInset for headers
ui-menus - Use native context menus
ui-native-modals - Use native modals when possible
ui-measure-views - Use onLayout, not measure()
ui-styling - Use StyleSheet.create or Nativewind

5. State Management (MEDIUM)

react-state-minimize - Minimize state subscriptions
react-state-dispatcher - Use dispatcher pattern for callbacks
react-state-fallback - Show fallback on first render
react-compiler-destructure-functions - Destructure for React Compiler
react-compiler-reanimated-shared-values - Handle shared values with compiler

6. Rendering (MEDIUM)

rendering-text-in-text-component - Wrap text in Text components
rendering-no-falsy-and - Avoid falsy && for conditional rendering

7. Monorepo (MEDIUM)

monorepo-native-deps-in-app - Keep native dependencies in app package
monorepo-single-dependency-versions - Use single versions across packages

8. Configuration (LOW)

fonts-config-plugin - Use config plugins for custom fonts
imports-design-system-folder - Organize design system imports
js-hoist-intl - Hoist Intl object creation
