Best practices for integrating and using RNRepo — Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-built React Native library artifacts that reduces native build times by up to 2×. Use when setting up, configuring, or troubleshooting RNRepo in a React Native or Expo project.

What this skill does

# RNRepo

Software Mansion's infrastructure for pre-building and distributing React Native library artifacts, reducing native build times by up to **2×** with zero infrastructure changes.

Read the relevant reference for the topic at hand. All references are in `references/`.

## Key facts

- **Beta, New Architecture only.** Works with React Native latest patches of 0.77, 0.78, 0.79 and all versions above 0.80.0.
- **How it works:** A Gradle plugin (Android) and CocoaPods plugin (iOS) intercept the build and substitute libraries with prebuilt artifacts from `packages.rnrepo.org`. Falls back to source if a prebuild is unavailable.
- **Expo CNG:** Use `@rnrepo/expo-config-plugin` — it configures both Android and iOS automatically.
- **Standard RN:** Install `@rnrepo/build-tools` and edit `android/build.gradle`, `android/app/build.gradle`, and `ios/Podfile` manually.
- **Opt out per library:** Add a `rnrepo.config.json` with a `denyList` at the project root. Required for libraries with **native patches** (Objective-C/Java/Kotlin). JS-only patches do NOT require opting out.
- **Opt out entirely:** Set `DISABLE_RNREPO=1` environment variable before the build command.

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
