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.
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."
"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.
Start Here
Load this first for any Expo/EAS task, then route to the specific skill below.
Skill
Use it for
expo-overview
Router and shared setup rules; the entry point when a request is vague or the user hasn't named a specific Expo tool.
Framework (open source)
Free, open-source Expo SDK and React Native skills.
Skill
Use it for
expo-project-structure
Folder structure for a new Expo app: src/ layout, routes-only app/, screens, server code, platform-specific files.
Build and submit iOS/Android apps: Expo and other React Native projects, plus existing native apps; TestFlight, profiles, versioning, and metadata.
eas-hosting
Deploying Expo websites and Expo Router API routes to EAS Hosting: secrets, custom domains, Cloudflare Workers.
eas-workflows
EAS Workflow YAML files and CI/CD automation.
eas-observe
EAS Observe setup and launch, route, event, and version metrics.
eas-update
EAS Update setup, OTA publishing, runtime compatibility, testing, and debugging.
eas-update-insights
EAS Update health, crash rates, launch counts, payload size, and rollout gates.
eas-simulator
Run and drive your app on a remote iOS simulator or Android emulator on EAS cloud - from the CLI or an agent, with a live browser preview (iOS only).
Experimental
Skills for Expo APIs that are not finalized. Content may change or be retired; skills graduate to the groups above when the underlying API stabilizes. These ship in the separate expo-experiments plugin (install it alongside expo), or individually via the skills CLI.
Skill
Use it for
expo-migrate-module
Migrating a Swift Expo module from the Modules API 1.0 definition DSL to the 2.0 macro API.
Expo MCP Server
Skills teach an agent how Expo work gets done. The Expo MCP server gives it live access to actually do that work: read the latest Expo docs on demand, install compatible dependencies with npx expo install, trigger and monitor EAS builds and workflows, pull crash data from TestFlight, and screenshot a running app in the simulator.
The expo plugin bundles this MCP configuration, so Claude Code and Codex plugin installs wire it up automatically. For other agents, or to add it on its own, follow the Expo MCP setup guide.
FAQ

Should I install the skills or the plugin?
Use the plugin for Claude Code or Codex; it stays updated through the plugin marketplace. Use npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*' for Cursor, OpenCode, and other AI coding agents.
What is the source of truth?
Expo documentation, Expo CLI, and EAS CLI are the source of truth. These skills teach agents how to apply Expo guidance in real projects.
