This brings performance guidelines to bear on the usual suspects: frame rate, startup time, bundle size, memory, re-renders, animations. Reach for it when something is slow and you want to know where to look rather than guess. ### Top 3 things it does for you - Work out why the app drops frames - Cut down how long the app takes to open - Find a memory leak ## Information **React Native Best Practices at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Kind | Skill | | Publisher | [Callstack Incubator](/@callstackincubator) | | Category | [Developer Tools](/category/devtools) | | Works with | Agent Skills - an open standard supported by 40+ agents | | Size | 6.3 MB | | Licence | MIT | | Repository | [callstackincubator/agent-skills](https://github.com/callstackincubator/agent-skills/tree/fa0bad00ce4029ca3b4e63b2d950e8fe1b9299a2/skills/react-native-best-practices) | | GitHub stars | 1,619 (as of Nov 2026) | | Installs | 32,106, counted by skills.sh (Nov 2026) | ## Security report **Verified.** AIR scanned this exact version of React Native Best Practices and flagged nothing.

AIR scanned this exact version of React Native Best Practices and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fa0bad00ce40, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/react-native-best-practices. ### How do I install React Native Best Practices?
