How to use Skills: what you can do with it

What is Skills? Expo Skills are the official AI agent skills from the Expo team for building, deploying, upgrading and debugging Expo apps. They cover Expo Router, animation, native UI, data fetching, web to native migration, SDK upgrades and paid EAS services such as app store builds, hosting, workflows and updates. The Claude Code and Codex plugins also wire up the Expo MCP server.

How do I use it? Run npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*' from the project root, or claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official for Claude Code; then Restart or refresh your agent session so it finds the SKILL.md files; Ask: Help me upgrade this app to the latest Expo SDK. Full steps below.

    Built a local first notes app with Claude Code, Expo Skills, Expo MCP and Argent

    The author built a Personal Workspace app with Expo Router navigation, persistent notes and image attachments. Claude Code picked up the building-native-ui skill on its own, Expo MCP supplied project context, and Argent checked the flows in a simulator.

  • Built withGitHub

    Added Expo skills to an app with the skills CLI and dropped 14 that clash with its NativeWind design system

    The pull request installs the 23 skills from expo/skills at a pinned commit into .claude/skills and .agents/skills with a lock file, then removes the 14 that do not fit the app, such as EAS hosting and expo-ui, recording each reason in the dependency policy.
