See setup guidance ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-21 Evidence 7 linked sources Publisher Vercel Licence MIT (declared in upstream README) ↗ Revision 063bee94c3f4 Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “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” Vercel · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Includes worked mobile-specific examples rather than reusing browser performance guidance. - Covers native dependency placement and platform UI behavior alongside component rendering. ### A good fit for - Reviewing a React Native feed or scrolling screen - Choosing animation and navigation patterns in an Expo application ### Weigh up before choosing - The list rule recommends virtualization even for short lists; that is a prescriptive default, not a measured requirement for every screen. - Replacing height animation with scale changes visual geometry without collapsing layout space; the example needs adaptation. - Native packages, compiler behavior and supported properties vary by project version. - The repository declares MIT in its README; this review did not locate a separate license grant file and offers no definition download. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/react-native-skills/SKILL.md - skills/react-native-skills/rules/list-performance-virtualize.md - skills/react-native-skills/rules/animation-gpu-properties.md - README.md ### Our findings - The inspected list reference shows LegendList and FlashList alternatives. - The animation reference favors transform and opacity but its fixed-height example retains layout space while visually collapsing. - The definition separates list, animation, navigation, rendering and native-monorepo concerns. ### Not established by this review - Source inspection only; no skill installation or workflow execution was performed. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow.

It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source. - Install the complete skill directory with its references and helpers; a copied SKILL.md alone may be incomplete. - Choose the intended agent and project scope in the installer, then review its permissions before using the skill. ### Before you start - Node.js/npm for this installer - An agent that supports the Agent Skills format - A mobile project and its installed native-module versions - A device or simulator for behavioral verification ### Compatibility Agent Skills-compatible agents · React Native and Expo ### Read and edit mobile application code - Read and edit mobile application code - Potentially add native dependencies or change navigation configuration ### Cost model MIT is declared upstream; simulators, builds, agent usage and external mobile services remain separate. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
