SKILL.md
Full skill instructions
The skill is based on React Native Reusables (docs as of 2026-02-26), generated at 2026-02-26.
React Native Reusables brings the shadcn/ui experience to React Native: copy-paste or CLI-scaffolded components, theming via CSS variables, and RN Primitives under the hood. It supports Nativewind and Uniwind, requires a root PortalHost for overlays, and uses a Text inheritance system and an Icon wrapper for Lucide.
