eas-simulator

Run and control a user's app on a remote iOS/Android simulator hosted on EAS cloud. Always read before executing any `eas simulator:*` commands — it has the current syntax for this experimental API. Use whenever the user needs a simulator they can't run locally — 'run my app on a cloud simulator', 'use eas simulator to run/install/screenshot my app', 'I'm on Linux/Cursor and need an iOS device', 'no sim on this box / headless CI', 'let an agent click through my app and screenshot it', 'test my dev build on a remote sim with live reload', 'stream a sim's screen to my browser' — even when they don't say 'EAS Simulator' or 'cloud'. On a host WITHOUT a local simulator (Linux, CI, cloud sandbox) it's the default — just use it; on macOS, do NOT auto-trigger for a plain 'run on the simulator' — use it only for a cloud/remote/shareable sim, an iOS version they lack, or an agent-driven session. NOT for local sims (expo run:ios, Xcode, Android Studio), EAS Build/Update, web preview, or physical

Covers module definition DSL, native views, shared objects, config plugins, lifecycle hooks, autolinking, and type system. Use when building or modifying native modules for Expo.0 installs Expo UI Jetpack Compose`@expo/ui/jetpack-compose` package lets you use Jetpack Compose Views and modifiers in your app.0 installs expo-uiBuild native UI with the @expo/ui package: real SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android rendered from React in an Expo or React Native app. Covers universal cross-platform components (Host, Column, Row, Button, Text, List, and more imported from @expo/ui), drop-in replacements for popular React Native community libraries (BottomSheet, DateTimePicker, Slider, Menu, etc.), and platform-specific SwiftUI (@expo/ui/swift-ui, iOS only) and Jetpack Compose (@expo/ui/jetpack-compose, Android only) trees and modifiers. Use when adding or reviewing @expo/ui Host/RNHostView trees, building native-feeling UI where standard React Native components fall short (grouped settings forms with toggles, sections, menus, sheets, pickers, sliders), choosing between universal and platform-specific components, or replacing an RN community UI library with a native @expo/ui equivalent. Not for custom native modules, Expo Router navigation, Reanimated, or data fetching.0 installs

Use when the user wants to turn a website into a mobile app, port a Next.js/Vite/CRA React codebase to React Native, reuse web code on native incrementally, or asks how web idioms (the DOM, CSS, React Router, localStorage, window) map to native. This is the end-to-end migration guide; use the `use-dom` skill for the DOM-component mechanism itself.0 installs
