cometchat-native-features

Purpose

Teaches Claude how to add features on top of a working CometChat React Native integration. Classifies each feature into one of four types and gives the correct recipe for each.

Read cometchat-native-core + cometchat-native-components + (cometchat-native-expo-patterns or cometchat-native-bare-patterns) first — a base integration must already exist before features layer on.

Ground truth: docs/ui-kit/react-native/core-features.mdx, calling-integration.mdx, call-*.mdx, incoming-call.mdx, outgoing-call.mdx, extensions.mdx, guide-ai-agent.mdx, ai-assistant-chat-history.mdx, and @cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native@5.3.3 exports.

1. Feature taxonomy

Every CometChat feature falls into exactly one of these five mechanism categories — these tell you how to wire each feature (the actionable RN view). They map onto the product's canonical 5-tier "work-needed" model (Core Zero-Setup → Builder-Enabled → Config-Only → Config+Settings → SDK-Integrated; see cometchat-features §3 + packages/registry/v6/features/catalog.json; canonical public matrix → Features & Extensions Guide, which outranks this snapshot on conflict): Default ≈ Core; Extension/AI ≈ Config-Only / Config+Settings; Package-install + Component-swap ≈ SDK-Integrated. The category determines the recipe:
