In plain English

React Native Developer Skills is a collection of markdown guides meant to be used by both human developers and AI coding agents working on React Native projects. Rather than jumping straight into code, the project promotes an approach it calls Spec or Skill Driven Development, where you first write a spec covering requirements, design, and tasks, then build using focused skill guides for things like architecture and performance, and finally review the result against the same guides used to build it. Each skill is a self contained markdown file covering one concern, such as architecture and folder structure, performance and re-renders, accessibility, handling server data and offline behavior, security practices like secret storage and secure network transport, and testing coverage. There are also baseline skills covering non negotiable rules and general project conventions that apply to every change, plus a code review skill that routes each concern to the right focused guide. You can install these skills in a few different ways. For Codex and Claude, there is a skills command line tool that pulls the skills directly into your setup. There are also standalone shell, PowerShell, and batch installer scripts that copy the skill folders into the right location for each tool, with an option to install just one target instead of all of them. For Cursor version 3.9 or newer, the project is packaged as an installable plugin available through Cursor's plugin marketplace. If none of these fit your workflow, the skills are just plain markdown files, so you can copy the skills folder into any project and point your own tooling at it manually. Each individual skill file follows the same structure: when to use it, guidance with correct and incorrect examples, common anti patterns in a table, and subtle pitfalls the checklist alone would not catch. The project includes a validation script that checks skill formatting and keeps the README's skill index in sync with the actual files. It is released under the MIT license.
