cometchat-native-customization
Purpose
Teaches Claude how to change the behavior or appearance of the React Native UI Kit without modifying the kit itself. Four tiers, from cheapest to deepest:
Tier 1 — Props (95% of asks solved here)
Tier 2 — RequestBuilder (filter what data loads)
Tier 3 — Formatters + Templates (change how text / messages render)
Tier 4 — DataSource decorators + Events (last resort, powerful)
Always try Tier 1 first. Escalate only when the tier can't do what the user wants.
Read cometchat-native-components first — the catalog is the source of truth for prop names, slot views, and event listener names that this skill builds on.
Ground truth: docs/ui-kit/react-native/custom-text-formatter-guide.mdx, mentions-formatter-guide.mdx, shortcut-formatter-guide.mdx, url-formatter-guide.mdx, events.mdx, methods.mdx, property-changes.mdx, and the kit's source at packages/ChatUiKit/src/shared/formatters/ and packages/ChatUiKit/src/shared/events/.
