Expo Scaffold

Use this skill to build a production-oriented Expo starter. Default to Expo SDK 55 and an expo-dev-client development-build workflow unless current official Expo docs show a newer stable SDK should replace SDK 55, or the user explicitly requests a different SDK or workflow. The volatile parts are NativeWind compatibility, gluestack setup, Expo SDK transition notes, and EAS defaults, so verify current tool output and official docs before locking versions.

This skill is the orchestrator. Delegate gluestack-specific CLI command construction, user-action checkpoints, generated provider/component verification, and gluestack integration repair to the expo-gluestack-setup skill when it is available. Keep this skill responsible for project shape, scaffold ordering, final integration, and final verification.

Trigger Boundaries

Use this skill only when the user asks to create or scaffold a new Expo project, starter, app, or Expo-centered monorepo, or when the user explicitly names expo-scaffold.

Do not use this skill for:

• General Expo, EAS, NativeWind, or gluestack questions.
• Reviewing a failed scaffold report or explaining an error.
• Debugging or repairing an existing app.
• Adding a single feature to an existing app.
• Verifying an existing app, unless the user explicitly asks to run expo-scaffold.

For an existing app, do not infer this skill from related keywords such as Expo Router, EAS, NativeWind, gluestack, OTA updates, preview channels, or landing site. Use normal codebase work or a narrower explicitly requested skill instead.
