Critical Rules

Applicability

• Platforms: iOS and Android
• React Native: 0.76+ (New Architecture interop assumed unless a checklist item says otherwise)

When to Use

• On every React Native change, as a baseline safety check
• Before merging any code that touches rendering, data, auth, or storage
• When reviewing a change for crash, data-loss, security, or compliance risk

These rules are intended to apply broadly rather than to one activity. The detailed guidance behind them lives in the related skills: architecture, state-and-data, and security.
