Install
claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-officialExpo Skills are official agent skills from the Expo team. They give Claude focused knowledge of when to use Expo APIs, how to structure common workflows, and which Expo, EAS, React Native, iOS and Android constraints matter, so generated mobile code follows current Expo practice rather than outdated tutorials.
Who it is for
React Native developers using Expo who want Claude to follow current Expo Router, native UI and EAS practices, and teams automating builds, updates and store submissions with EAS. Beginners benefit too, because the skills explain which platform constraints matter and why.
What it covers
Skills in the Claude plugin include expo-router, expo-native-ui, expo-ui, expo-animation, expo-data-fetching, expo-design-system, expo-dev-client, expo-module, expo-dom, expo-upgrade, expo-brownfield, expo-app-clip and expo-web-to-native, plus EAS skills such as eas-update, eas-workflows, eas-hosting, eas-app-stores, eas-observe and eas-simulator.
Install
For Claude Code, from Anthropic’s official marketplace:
claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-officialOr /plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official inside a session. For other agents:
npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*'Example prompts
Build a native-feeling Expo Router screen with tabs, modals and animations
Create an EAS workflow that builds previews on pull requests
Help me upgrade this app to the latest Expo SDK
Check whether this EAS Update rollout is healthyTips and limits
- Agents choose skills from task context, so mention Expo or EAS explicitly in prompts.
- Services skills touch paid EAS features; read the cost notes before running builds.
- Upgrades still need device testing; the skill guides the steps but cannot run your QA.
- Pair with Vercel’s react-best-practices or its React Native skill for performance rules.
