awesome-react-native-skills is a curated set of Claude Skills for building production-grade React Native apps in 2026. Each skill is a self-contained folder with reference docs and conventions, so Claude can pick up the right context the moment you ask it for help on a navigation bug, a Reanimated transition, or an EAS build issue.

Why this exists

I wrote about building reusable Skills for Claude a few weeks ago. The same idea applies cleanly to React Native, maybe even more so. The ecosystem moves fast: the New Architecture is the default, Expo ships a new SDK every few months, and the “right” way to do navigation, state, or styling shifts often enough that stale answers are the norm. Packaging the current good practices as Skills means Claude loads the relevant slice on demand instead of guessing from training data.

What’s inside

Six skill groups, each focused on one part of the stack:

  • React Native Core — native primitives, platform APIs, animations, gestures, accessibility.
  • React Native Ecosystem — navigation, state management, data fetching, and the libraries you actually ship.
  • React Native Expo — Router, EAS Build/Update/Submit, SDK upgrades.
  • React Native Reusables — shadcn/ui-style components built on NativeWind v4.
  • React Native Performance — profiling, measurement, and the optimizations that move the needle.
  • React Native Testing — Testing Library v13/v14 patterns for unit and integration tests.

Tech the skills cover

  • React Native 0.76+ with the New Architecture on by default
  • Expo SDK 53 to 56
  • React Navigation v7
  • TanStack Query v5 for server state
  • Zustand, Jotai, and Redux Toolkit for client state
  • Reanimated v3 and Gesture Handler v2
  • NativeWind v4 for styling
  • Testing Library v13 and v14

How to use it

Drop the skills into your local Claude skills folder:

git clone https://github.com/maikotrindade/awesome-react-native-skills.git ~/.claude/skills/awesome-react-native-skills

From there, Claude’s progressive disclosure does the rest. The frontmatter of each skill stays in the system prompt, and the body loads only when your question matches. You don’t have to remember which skill to invoke.

Where it goes next

The repo is a starting point, not a finished thing. More skills are coming, and contributions are welcome if you’ve worked out a pattern that should be there. Check the project on GitHub and open an issue or PR if something’s missing or out of date.
