Build animations in React Native and Expo, making the decisions in the order that determines whether they feel right — should it animate, which thread it runs on, which properties, spring or timing, how the gesture hands off, how it degrades. Writes the implementation with Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Expo Router and expo-haptics. Use when animating anything in an Expo app, adding gestures, sheets, screen transitions, press feedback or haptics, or fixing motion that stutters on device. For web animation use `animate`.
Build and maintain a design system inside an Expo app - a reusable theme of design tokens (color, spacing, typography, radius, shadow, motion), reusable component structure with variant/size/state prop conventions, and rules for when to extract a repeated view into a shared component. Use when creating or organizing theme files and design tokens (theme.ts / theme/), extending an existing theme or styling library (NativeWind, Tamagui, Restyle, Unistyles) in its own idiom, standardizing styles so screens (including AI-generated ones) look consistent and polished, fixing an app that looks AI-generated or generic instead of native (the named native-slop tells), building an in-app component library, or auditing an app for design-system drift (hardcoded colors, spacing, fonts). For platform styling specifics (semantic colors, HIG rules, native controls) use expo-native-ui; for folder layout of a new app use expo-project-structure.
Build native-feeling, benchmark-quality mobile app screens (Expo / React Native). Use when designing or implementing any mobile UI — screens, flows, onboarding, paywalls, tab bars, sheets, settings, empty states — or when polishing motion, navigation, typography, dark mode, or perceived performance. Enforces Apple HIG fidelity, semantic colors, native controls, anti-slop discipline, navigation semantics (push vs replace, modal vs sheet vs overlay, the one-way doors where back must not exist), purposeful Reanimated motion, a full-motion simulator-verified iteration loop, and a study-real-apps-first workflow (pairs with the Appllama MCP). Trigger on "build a screen", "make this screen better", "design the onboarding", "wire up this flow", "polish the UI", "make it feel native", or any mobile design/implementation task.
