Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned react-native-community/skills at 1fb0e0848f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automatically upgrade React Native projects to the latest stable versions, ensuring access to new features and security patches. It handles complex dependency resolution and migration tasks that typically require manual intervention or deep framework knowledge.

When to use it

  • Modernizing legacy mobile applications to leverage recent performance improvements in the React Native ecosystem.
  • Resolving compatibility issues between outdated libraries and newer versions of React Native core.
  • Automating routine maintenance workflows to keep production apps secure without manual code audits.
  • Preparing codebases for upcoming breaking changes before they become mandatory.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies the current version of the React Native project structure.
  • Executes automated upgrade commands tailored to the specific project configuration.
  • Manages peer dependencies and resolves conflicts arising from version mismatches.
  • Generates migration reports highlighting potential breaking changes or required manual adjustments.

Example prompts

  • "Upgrade my existing React Native app to the latest stable release and fix any immediate dependency errors."
  • "Run a full upgrade cycle on this codebase, ensuring all native modules are compatible with the new version."
  • "Check for available updates and apply them, then summarize what breaking changes might affect our user-facing features."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project has a package.json file before initiating the upgrade process, as the skill relies on standard Node.js dependency management. Always commit the pre-upgrade state to version control first; automated upgrades can introduce unexpected side effects that require manual rollback or debugging.
