What It Does

React Native Audit is a Claude Code skill that automatically evaluates your React Native or Expo application across eight critical dimensions. It analyzes your codebase, generates a prioritized Markdown report with specific findings, and provides actionable recommendations—all without modifying your project.

How It Works

Install the skill in your Claude Code environment, then run /react-native-audit in any React Native project directory. The skill reads your source code and configuration files, detects your stack (Expo, React Navigation, TypeScript, etc.), and checks against industry best practices from React Native, Apple HIG, Material Design, and OWASP standards. Results include an executive summary with a 0-100 score, findings organized by severity, and recommendations prioritized by timeline (immediate, short-term, long-term).

Key Audit Areas

  • Coding Standards — hooks, StyleSheet patterns, navigation, safe area handling
  • Accessibility — VoiceOver/TalkBack labels, touch targets, font scaling
  • Security — secure storage, secrets, deep linking, OWASP Mobile vulnerabilities
  • Performance — FlatList optimization, animations, image handling, memory leaks
  • Testing — unit coverage, E2E (Detox/Maestro), navigation tests
  • Component Architecture — complexity, reusability, TypeScript quality
  • Error Handling — error boundaries, offline support, crash reporting
  • App Configuration — app.json, permissions, EAS Build, OTA updates

Who Benefits

Product managers and design leads use this to assess app health without deep technical knowledge. Designers get accessibility and UX quality metrics. Teams get a baseline audit to prioritize improvements before launch or in maintenance phases.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install React Native Audit?
Clone the repository into your Claude Code skills directory: `git clone https://github.com/tannermares/react-native-audit-claude-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/react-native-audit-claude-skill`. No additional setup required.
What does React Native Audit check?
It audits coding standards, component architecture, accessibility (VoiceOver/TalkBack), performance, security (OWASP Mobile), testing coverage, error handling, and app configuration. It auto-detects your stack (Expo, React Navigation, TypeScript, Hermes, etc.) and adapts checks accordingly.
Does React Native Audit modify my project?
No. The skill only reads your code and writes one file: the audit report. It runs `npm audit` in read-only mode and makes zero changes to dependencies, configuration, or source code.
How long does an audit take?
Most audits complete in 2-5 minutes depending on project size. The skill analyzes your entire codebase and generates a comprehensive Markdown report with findings, severity levels, and recommendations.
What does the audit report include?
An executive summary with a 0-100 score, findings organized by category and severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), specific file and line references, positive findings, and recommendations prioritized by timeline (immediate, short-term, long-term).
Can I customize the audit criteria?
Yes. Edit the reference files in the skill directory: `coding-standards-reference.md`, `security-checklist.md`, `a11y-checklist.md`, `app-config-checklist.md`, and `report-template.md` to adjust thresholds and checks for your team's standards.
What's the difference between React Native Audit and manual code review?
React Native Audit provides fast, consistent baseline coverage across eight critical areas and multiple industry standards (React Native, Apple HIG, Material Design, OWASP). It's ideal for pre-launch validation or maintenance checkpoints but complements human code review for architecture and design decisions.
Does React Native Audit work with bare React Native projects?
Yes. The skill works with both Expo and bare React Native projects. It auto-detects your stack and configuration, then adapts checks accordingly. Customize the criteria files to match your specific setup.

Glossary

OWASP Mobile Top 10
The Open Web Application Security Project's list of the ten most critical security risks in mobile applications, including insecure storage, weak encryption, and unsafe deep linking.
VoiceOver / TalkBack
Screen readers built into iOS (VoiceOver) and Android (TalkBack) that read app content aloud for users with visual impairments. Proper accessibility labels and roles are required for these to work.
EAS Build
Expo's managed cloud build service that compiles React Native apps for iOS and Android without requiring local Xcode or Android Studio installation.
Detox / Maestro
End-to-end testing frameworks for React Native and mobile apps. Detox is Gray-box testing; Maestro is cloud-based Black-box testing for automated UI and navigation validation.
