React Native Patterns

Performance and architecture patterns for React Native + Expo apps. Rules ranked by impact — fix CRITICAL before touching MEDIUM.

This is a starting point. The skill will grow as you build more mobile apps.

When to Apply

• Building new React Native or Expo apps
• Optimising list and scroll performance
• Implementing animations
• Reviewing mobile code for performance issues
• Setting up a new Expo project

1. List Performance (CRITICAL)

Lists are the #1 performance issue in React Native. A janky scroll kills the entire app experience.
