expo-observe
About
The `expo-observe` skill helps developers integrate and use EAS Observe for monitoring performance in Expo apps. It covers adding the SDK for metrics like app launch and navigation times, and querying data via EAS CLI commands. Use this skill for implementation guidance or to interpret production metrics for performance triage.

Documentation
EAS Observe
EAS Observe tracks startup, navigation, and custom-event performance from production Expo apps.
Source of truth: https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/ — always consult the canonical docs when API details matter, especially get-started, configuration, integrations, and the metrics reference. EAS Observe is evolving; this skill's references are written to stay accurate but may lag the docs.
Which reference to read
The three reference files in ./references/ cover the three things people typically need this skill for:
- Adding EAS Observe to a project →
./references/setup.md. Install, wrap the root layout (AppMetricsRooton SDK 55,ObserveRooton SDK 56+), callmarkInteractive()(global on SDK 55, via theuseObserve()hook on SDK 56+), and optional per-route navigation metrics through the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations. - Querying metrics from the terminal →
./references/queries.md. The fiveeas observe:*commands —metrics-summary,metrics,routes,events,versions— with flags, table layouts, JSON shapes, and common workflows. - Reading a dashboard or CLI output →
./references/metrics.md. Target thresholds per metric, what the TTIframeRate.*params mean, and diagnostic patterns for telling slow-but-smooth startup apart from main-thread contention or hard blocks.

executing-plans
DesignUse the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
requesting-code-review
DesignThis skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
connect-mcp-server
DesignThis skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
web-cli-teleport
DesignThis skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
