What it does

The Expo team's official skill set gives an agent focused knowledge about Expo development. The top-level expo-overview skill is the entry point and routes to specialized skills: project structure, Expo Router, animation, native UI, design systems, data fetching, native modules and web-to-native migration. A separate group covers paid EAS services: building and store submission, hosting, over-the-air updates, workflows and observability, each labeled with plan limits. Separately you can add the Expo MCP server, which gives live access to documentation, dependency installation and running EAS builds.

Who it is for. For mobile developers building apps on Expo and React Native.

Good fit when

  • You build an Expo Router screen with navigation and animation
  • You set up build and store submission via EAS
  • You upgrade an app to a new Expo SDK version

Not a fit when

  • The project is bare React Native with no expo dependency
  • The task is not about mobile development

Example request

Build an Expo Router screen with tabs, modals and animations

Limitations

The skills teach how to apply Expo guidance; the source of truth stays the docs, Expo CLI and EAS CLI. Some skills depend on paid EAS services and note their plan limits. Telemetry is off by default.

How to disable. Remove the expo plugin via /plugin, or delete the skill folders from your agent's skills directory.

Security check

  • The skills are instructions, but the optional Expo MCP server runs builds and installs dependencies

README in short

The README describes the Expo team's official skills for building, deploying, upgrading and debugging apps. Installation is as a Claude Code or Codex plugin, or via the skills CLI for Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot and other agents. Skills split into a free framework layer and a paid EAS services layer with plan-limit notes. It also describes the Expo MCP server, which gives live access to docs, dependency installs and running builds. MIT licensed.

name: expo-overview
description: "Framework (OSS). Entry point and router for every Expo or EAS task. Load this skill first — before writing code and before choosing another expo-* / eas-* skill — when the request, PRD, or spec mentions Expo, EAS, Expo Go, or an expo-* package, or the project has an `expo` dependency in `package.json`."

## Start Here — read before doing anything

**Do not guess the skill from project files alone.** Many Expo goals look similar from the filesystem but need different skills.

FAQ

Skills or the plugin?

For Claude Code and Codex the plugin with marketplace updates is easier; for other agents use npx skills.

Are all skills free?

The skills are open source, but some depend on paid EAS services, which is labeled in each description.
