Purpose

Teaches Claude how to theme and localize the React Native UI Kit via CometChatThemeProvider + CometChatI18nProvider. No CSS — React Native uses a JS theme object instead. This skill covers color tokens, typography, light/dark modes, per-component style overrides, the useTheme() hook for custom views, and localization (18 built-in languages, device auto-detect, custom translation overrides) via useCometChatTranslation().

Read cometchat-native-core first (the wrapper chain that includes CometChatThemeProvider) before this skill. cometchat-native-components § 13 covers per-component style={} overrides, which are a sibling concern to theming.

Ground truth: docs/ui-kit/react-native/theme.mdx, colors.mdx, component-styling.mdx, message-bubble-styling.mdx, and packages/ChatUiKit/src/theme/type.ts (the canonical type definitions).
