How to upgrade your app to the latest Expo SDK with an agent with Skills

Install the official Expo Skills and let your agent run the SDK upgrade with the expo-upgrade skill.

Short answer: 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. All steps.

Who it is forA mobile developer stuck on an old Expo SDK because upgrades break dependencies.

The problemSDK upgrades mean dependency conflicts, deprecated packages and cache problems that eat a day.

The outcomeAn app moved to the latest Expo SDK with conflicts and deprecated packages handled.

What you need first

  • An Expo or React Native project
  • Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that loads skills
  • npx for the skills CLI
  • An EAS account for the services skills (paid steps are labeled)

Steps

  1. Run npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*' from the project root, or claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official for Claude Code
  2. Restart or refresh your agent session so it finds the SKILL.md files
  3. Ask: Help me upgrade this app to the latest Expo SDK
  4. Let expo-upgrade work through dependency conflicts, deprecated packages and cache cleanup
  5. Run the app on a device or simulator and test before you commit

Prompt for your agent

Using the expo/skills expo-upgrade skill, upgrade this app to the latest Expo SDK. List each dependency conflict and deprecated package you change, and stop before committing so I can test.

Caveat. This card is written from the expo/skills README, not from a test run by Deduped. Before you start, make sure you have an Expo or React Native project. Check the repo for newer instructions before you rely on these steps.
