Expo Skills

Official AI agent skills from the Expo team for building, deploying, upgrading, and debugging Expo apps.

How It Works

Skills give AI agents focused Expo knowledge: when to use Expo APIs, how to structure common workflows, and which Expo, EAS, React Native, iOS, and Android constraints matter. Expo documentation, Expo CLI, and EAS CLI remain the source of truth; these skills help agents apply them correctly.

Installation

For Claude Code or Codex, install the plugin so updates are handled by the official plugin marketplace. For Cursor, OpenCode, and other AI coding agents, use the skills CLI.

Path	Best for
Plugin install	Claude Code or Codex, with updates handled by their official plugin marketplaces.
Skills CLI	Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, Cline, AMP, Factory Droid, Antigravity, Kiro CLI, and other AI coding agents.

Skills CLI

Install all Expo skills with the skills CLI:

npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*'

This selects every Expo skill without selecting every agent. The CLI will still ask where to install them; to target one agent directly, add --agent <agent>.

For most agents, this is the only install command you need. Run it from the project root, then restart or refresh your agent session so it can discover the installed SKILL.md files.

Claude Code Plugin

Install from the official Claude Code plugin marketplace:

claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official

You can also run /plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official inside Claude Code.

Codex Plugin

Install from the OpenAI-curated Codex marketplace:

codex plugin add expo@openai-curated

You can also open /plugins in Codex and install expo from the OpenAI-curated marketplace.

Updating

Claude Code and Codex plugin installs are updated through their official plugin marketplaces.

For skills CLI installs, update installed skills with:

npx skills@latest update

To update a single Expo skill, pass its name:

npx skills@latest update expo-router

Try It

After installing, ask your agent Expo-specific questions like:

• "Build a native-feeling Expo Router screen with tabs, modals, and animations."
• "Set up Tailwind CSS v4 and NativeWind v5 in this Expo app."
• "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 healthy."

Agents choose the right skill from the task context and each skill's description.

Skills Included

Skills come in two groups so the free vs paid boundary is clear. Each skill's description carries the same label, and every services skill opens with a costs/plan-limits note.
