Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Expo Skills AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/expo-skills
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/expo-skills .claude/skills/expo-skills

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Expo Skills in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Expo Skills on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Expo Skills is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Is the full skill already installed? This package installs 25 skills (expo-overview, expo-project-structure, expo-router, expo-animation, expo-native-ui, expo-design-system, expo-ui, expo-data-fetching, expo-dom, expo-web-to-native, expo-module, expo-brownfield, expo-dev-client, expo-examples, expo-app-clip, expo-upgrade, expo-skill-feedback, eas-app-stores, eas-hosting, eas-workflows, eas-observe, eas-update, eas-update-insights, eas-simulator, expo-migrate-module); checking the first.
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/expo-overview/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/expo-overview/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as expo-overview, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/expo-skills ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add expo/skills --skill expo-overview expo-project-structure expo-router expo-animation expo-native-ui expo-design-system expo-ui expo-data-fetching expo-dom expo-web-to-native expo-module expo-brownfield expo-dev-client expo-examples expo-app-clip expo-upgrade expo-skill-feedback eas-app-stores eas-hosting eas-workflows eas-observe eas-update eas-update-insights eas-simulator expo-migrate-module -g -y

Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Claude Code plugin route:


/plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official

Heads-up

Requires: Expo MCP server (recommended for live docs and EAS access; the Claude Code plugin wires it up, other agents need docs.expo.dev/eas/ai/mcp); Expo Application Services (EAS) account for the eas-* skills
License: MIT

Invoke after install

Start with expo-overview: it is the router for any Expo or EAS request that does not name a specific tool.
Framework skills: expo-project-structure, expo-router, expo-animation, expo-native-ui, expo-design-system, expo-ui, expo-data-fetching, expo-dom, expo-web-to-native, expo-module, expo-brownfield, expo-dev-client, expo-examples, expo-app-clip, expo-upgrade
Services skills (paid EAS features): eas-app-stores, eas-hosting, eas-workflows, eas-observe, eas-update, eas-update-insights, eas-simulator
Also installed: expo-skill-feedback (feedback submission and opt-in usage telemetry, off by default) and expo-migrate-module (experimental: Swift Expo modules from the 1.0 definition DSL to the 2.0 macro API)
Trigger phrases: "Expo", "EAS", "Expo Router", "Expo SDK", "EAS Build", "EAS Submit"

What it does

The official Expo skill suite, written by the Expo team and updated with the SDK. Framework skills teach project structure, file-based routing, native-feeling UI, animation, data fetching, DOM components, native modules, brownfield integration, development clients, and SDK upgrades. Services skills cover EAS: building and submitting to the stores, EAS Hosting, workflows and CI, EAS Update (OTA), and observability. Each skill's description tells the agent when to load it, so only the relevant one is used per task. The Expo docs, Expo CLI, and EAS CLI stay the source of truth.

The install pulls every skill listed above, so many descriptions land in each project; run the install command with a shorter --skill list to keep only the ones you need. The upstream repo also ships expo-skill-eval, a maintainer eval harness, which this pointer leaves out. Claude Code users can use the official plugin route instead, which also bundles the Expo MCP configuration.

When NOT to use

Bare React Native without Expo → use callstack-agent-skills or software-mansion-skills
Animation and gesture-heavy work in an Expo project → combine with software-mansion-skills
Mobile UI design work → use mobile-app-design or mobile-app-ui-design

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Expo Skills AI skill do?

Why use Expo Skills on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Expo Skills is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Expo Skills in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/expo-skills. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Expo Skills?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Expo Skills?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Expo Skills with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Expo Skills AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
