+ ## Task Router
61
+
62
+ **FIRST: Identify what the user is asking. Then READ the required file with the Read tool. Then follow its protocol.**
63
+
64
+ > ⚠️ The files below are NOT preloaded. You MUST use the Read tool to open them.
65
+ > Base path: `~/.claude/skills/skill-mobile-mt/`
66
+
67
+ ```
68
+ USER REQUEST → ACTION (Read tool required)
69
+ ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
70
+ "Create/build X feature" → Feature Scaffold Protocol below (no extra file needed)
71
+ screen + hook + service + store + types
72
+
73
+ "Create/add X screen/page" → Feature Scaffold Protocol below — MINIMAL
74
+ screen + hook ONLY (no service/store)
75
+
76
+ "Add X to existing Y" → MODIFY existing files, don't create new structure
77
+

146
+ then: Elaborate → Construct (4 Hats) → Backpressure → Complete
147

148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ **⛔ NEVER start coding without identifying the task type first.**
151
+ **⛔ NEVER reference a file's content without using Read tool to open it first.**
152
+
153
+ ---
154
+
155
+ ## Communication Protocol
156
+
157
+ **Show progress, not monologues. Brief status updates before each tool use.**
158
+
159
+ ```
160
+ GOOD:
161
+ "Searching for native module config..."
162
+ "Found module. Updating Android configuration..."
163
+ "Type error detected. Fixing..."
164
+ "Tests passing. Marking complete."
165
+
166
+ BAD:
167
+ "I'll now search for the native module configuration file which is typically
168
+ located in the android/ directory and then I'll update it and..."
169
+ ```
170
+
171
+ **Rules:**
172
+ - ✅ Brief progress note before tool use (1 line max)
173
+ - ✅ State current action in present continuous ("Searching...", "Updating...")
174
+ - ✅ Acknowledge errors immediately ("Build failed. Investigating...")
175
+ - ⛔ NO conversational fluff ("Great!", "Sure!", "Let me help you with that!")
176
+ - ⛔ NO long explanations unless user asks
177
+ - ⛔ NO assumptions stated as questions ("Should I...?") — just do it
178
+
179
+ **When to speak more:**
180
+ - User explicitly asks "why" or "how"
181
+ - Multiple valid approaches exist (ask which one)
182
+ - Destructive action (confirm before deleting)
183
+ - Blocked and need user input
184
+
185
+ ---
186
+
187
+ ## Execution Modes
188
+
189
+ **Switch modes based on task phase. Each mode has different behavior.**
190
+
191
+ ### Mode 1: DISCOVERY (Research & Plan)
192
+
193
+ **When:** Start of complex tasks, unclear requirements, new codebase
194
+
195
+ **Behavior:**
196
+ - Read files to understand structure
197
+ - Ask clarifying questions
198
+ - Output: Context summary + implementation plan
199
+ - **DO NOT write code yet**
200
+
201
+ **Example:**
202
+ ```
203
+ User: "Add auth feature"
204
+ → DISCOVERY MODE
205
+ Read: package.json, src/ structure, existing features
206
+ Ask: "REST API or Firebase? Token in SecureStore or Keychain?"
207
+ Output: Plan with file list + data flow
208
+ ```
209
+
210
+ ### Mode 2: IMPLEMENTATION (Execute & Verify)
211
+
212
+ **When:** Requirements clear, plan exists, ready to code
213
+
214
+ **Behavior:**
215
+ - Write code following plan
216
+ - Run tests after each change
217
+ - Brief status updates only
218
+ - **DO NOT ask questions** — work autonomously
219
+ - If blocked: try alternative, then escalate to user
220
+
221
+ **Example:**
222
+ ```
223
+ "Creating auth service..."
224
+ "Adding login screen..."
225
+ "Wiring navigation..."
226
+ "Running tests... passed."
227
+ ```
228
+
229
+ ### Mode 3: COMPLETION (Verify & Report)
230
+
231
+ **When:** Code written, tests passing
232
+
233
+ **Behavior:**
234
+ - Run final quality gates
235
+ - Summarize what changed
236
+ - List artifacts created
237
+ - Suggest next steps (optional)
238
+ - **DO NOT explain every line** — show impact
239
+
240
+ **Example:**
241
+ ```
242
+ ✅ Completed: Auth feature
243
+
244
+ Files created:
245
+ - src/features/auth/LoginScreen.tsx
246
+ - src/features/auth/authService.ts
247
+ - src/features/auth/useAuth.ts
248
+
249
+ Impact:
250
+ - Users can now login with email/password
251
+ - Token stored in SecureStore
252
+ - Auto-refresh on 401
253
+
254
+ Next steps:
255
+ - Add forgot password flow
256
+ - Add OAuth providers
257
+ ```
258
+
259
+ **Mode Switching:**
260
+ ```
261
+ Discovery → Implementation → Completion → (next task) → Discovery...
262
+ ```
263
+

265
+
266
+ ## Mandatory Checkpoint
267
+
268
+ **BEFORE writing any code, complete this:**
269
+
270
+ ```
271
+ 🔍 DETECTED:
272
+ Framework: [ ] RN / Flutter / iOS / Android
273
+ Language: [ ] TS / JS / Dart / Swift / Kotlin
274
+ Package Mgr: [ ] yarn / npm / pnpm / flutter pub / pod
275
+ State Mgmt: [ ] Redux / MobX / Riverpod / BLoC / StateFlow
276
+ Architecture: [ ] Clean Arch / MVC / MVVM / feature-based
277
+
278
+ ⛔ STOP if any field is empty. Detect first, code later.
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ ---
282
+
283
+ ## Auto-Detect
284
+
285
+ **Run FIRST before any action.**
286
+
287
+ ```
288
+ FRAMEWORK:
289
+ pubspec.yaml? → Flutter
290
+ package.json has "react-native"? → React Native
291
+ package.json has "expo"? → React Native (Expo)
292
+ *.xcodeproj / *.xcworkspace? → iOS Native
293
+ build.gradle / build.gradle.kts? → Android Native
294
+ None? → ASK user
295
+
296
+ LANGUAGE:
297
+ .dart in lib/ → Dart .tsx/.ts in src/ → TypeScript
298
+ .jsx/.js in src/ → JavaScript .swift files → Swift
299
+ .kt files → Kotlin .java in app/src/ → Java
300
+
301
+ PACKAGE MANAGER:
302
+ yarn.lock → yarn pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm
303
+ bun.lockb → bun package-lock → npm
304
+ pubspec.lock → flutter pub Podfile.lock → pod
305
+ ⛔ NEVER mix package managers.
306
+
307
+ STATE MANAGEMENT:
308
+ RN: redux / mobx / zustand / @apollo/client / @tanstack/react-query
309
+ Flutter: riverpod / bloc / provider / getx
310
+ iOS: Combine / @Observable / RxSwift
311
+ Android: StateFlow / LiveData / RxJava
312
+ ```
313
+
314
+ ---
315
+
316
+ ## Mobile Context
317
+
318
+ **Capture mobile-specific context BEFORE implementation.**
319
+
320
+ ```
321
+ <mobile_context>
322
+ TARGET PLATFORM:
323
+ [ ] iOS only [ ] Android only [ ] Both (cross-platform)
324
+
325
+ MIN SDK VERSION:
326
+ iOS: [ ] 14+ / 15+ / 16+ / 17+
327
+ Android: [ ] API 26+ / 28+ / 30+ / 33+
328
+
329
+ DEVICE TYPES:
330
+ [ ] Phone only [ ] Tablet only [ ] Both (responsive)
331
+
332
+ NATIVE MODULES:
333
+ List all: [e.g., react-native-camera, @react-native-firebase/auth]
334
+ New ones: [modules being added this task]
335
+
336
+ PERFORMANCE CONSTRAINTS:
337
+ Memory: [ ] Low (< 2GB) / Normal (2-4GB) / High (4GB+)
338
+ Network: [ ] Offline-first / Online-required / Hybrid
339
+ Storage: [ ] Large data (> 100MB) / Normal / Minimal
340
+
341
+ CAPABILITIES NEEDED:
342
+ [ ] Camera [ ] Location [ ] Push notifications
343
+ [ ] Payments [ ] Biometrics [ ] Background tasks
344
+ [ ] Maps [ ] AR/VR [ ] Bluetooth
345
+ </mobile_context>
346
+ ```
347
+
348
+ **Use this context to:**
349
+ - Choose correct APIs (e.g., iOS 15+ can use async/await, < 15 needs completion handlers)
350
+ - Validate library compatibility (some packages require min SDK)
351
+ - Plan permission requests (camera, location need runtime permissions)
352
+ - Size assets appropriately (phone vs tablet, retina vs non-retina)
353
+ - Handle offline scenarios if needed
354
+
355
+ **Example:**
356
+ ```
357
+ Task: Add camera feature
358
+ → Check mobile_context:
359
+ - iOS 14+ ✓ (use AVFoundation)
360
+ - Android API 28+ ✓ (use CameraX)
361
+ - Permission: camera + storage
362
+ - Native module: react-native-vision-camera
363
+ ```
364
+
365
+ ---
366
+
367
+ ## Mode Selection
368
+
369
+ **Based on `$ARGUMENTS`:**
370
+
371
+ ### MODE 1: `@skill-mobile-mt` — Pre-Built Patterns
372
+
373
+ Use production-tested architecture patterns. Load platform reference + shared docs.
374
+
375
+ ### MODE 2: `@skill-mobile-mt project` — Adapt to Current Project
376
+
377
+ Read current project first. Follow THEIR conventions. Don't impose yours.
378
+
379
+ ```
380
+ PROJECT MODE RULES:
381
+ ✅ Match naming, imports, file structure, patterns exactly
382
+ ✅ Read .eslintrc / .prettierrc / analysis_options.yaml / CLAUDE.md
383
+ ⛔ NEVER suggest "you should migrate to..."
384
+ ⛔ NEVER impose different architecture
385
+ ⛔ NEVER add dependencies without asking
386
+
387
+ MIRROR TEST: "Would the original developer think a teammate wrote this?"
388
+ YES → Ship it. NO → Rewrite to match their style.
389
+ ```
390
+
391
+ ### Context Gathering (Project Mode — run ONCE at start)
392
+
393
+ ```
394
+ STEP 1: READ CONFIG FILES
395
+ - package.json / pubspec.yaml → deps, scripts, framework
396
+ - tsconfig.json / jsconfig.json → path aliases (@/, ~/), strict mode
397
+ - .eslintrc / .prettierrc → code style rules
398
+ - analysis_options.yaml → Dart lint rules
399
+ - CLAUDE.md / README.md → project conventions
400
+
401
+ STEP 2: MAP PROJECT STRUCTURE
402
+ - Glob src/**/ or app/**/ or lib/**/ → list ALL folders
403
+ - Identify pattern: feature-based / layer-based / hybrid
404
+ - List existing features/modules
405
+
406
+ STEP 3: READ 3 REFERENCE FILES (learn the style)
407
+ - 1 screen/page file → UI pattern, styling, state usage
408
+ - 1 service/api/repository file → data fetching pattern
409
+ - 1 store/hook/viewmodel file → state management pattern
410
+
411
+ STEP 4: OUTPUT CONTEXT SUMMARY
412
+ Framework: [RN CLI / Expo / Flutter / iOS / Android]
413
+ Language: [TS / JS / Dart / Swift / Kotlin]
414
+ Structure: [feature-based / layer-based / hybrid]
415
+ Data: [axios / fetch / Firebase / Dio / Retrofit / GraphQL]
416
+ State: [Redux / Zustand / MobX / Riverpod / BLoC / StateFlow]
417
+ Nav: [@react-navigation / expo-router / GoRouter / UIKit / Jetpack]
418
+ Style: [StyleSheet / NativeWind / styled-components / SwiftUI / Compose]
419
+ Imports: [@/ aliases / relative / barrel exports]
420
+ Naming: [camelCase / PascalCase / kebab-case / snake_case]
421
+
422
+ ⛔ STOP if context is unclear. Read more files. Never guess.
423
+ ```
424
+
425
+ ### Feature Scaffold Protocol (Project Mode)
426
+
427
+ **When creating a new feature, ALWAYS follow these 5 steps:**
428
+
429
+ ```
430
+ STEP 1: SCAN PROJECT STRUCTURE
431
+ - Read top-level: src/ or app/ or lib/
432
+ - Map all folders: screens, features, modules, pages, components,
433
+ services, hooks, stores, api, data, domain
434
+ - Identify pattern:
435
+ feature-based → src/features/cart/, src/features/product/
436
+ layer-based → src/screens/ + src/services/ + src/hooks/
437
+ hybrid → src/screens/cart/ + src/shared/services/
438
+
439
+ STEP 2: FIND REFERENCE FEATURE
440
+ - List all existing features/modules
441
+ - Pick the MOST SIMILAR to the new feature
442
+ - Read ALL files in that reference:
443
+ ├── Screen/Page → naming, imports, state usage, navigation
444
+ ├── Components → props pattern, styling approach
445
+ ├── Hook/ViewModel → data fetching, state shape
446
+ ├── Service/Repo → API call pattern (axios/fetch/Firebase)
447
+ ├── Store/Slice/BLoC → state management pattern
448
+ ├── Types/Models → interface/type naming, DTOs
449
+ └── Tests → testing patterns (if exist)
450
+
451
+ STEP 3: DETECT DATA SOURCE (from reference)
452
+ Reference uses axios/fetch → new feature uses axios/fetch
453
+ Reference uses Firebase → new feature uses Firebase
454
+ Reference uses GraphQL → new feature uses GraphQL
455
+ Reference uses local DB → new feature uses local DB
456
+ ⛔ NEVER switch data source. Follow what exists.
457
+
458
+ STEP 4: SCAFFOLD NEW FEATURE
459
+ - Create IDENTICAL folder structure as reference
460
+ - Use SAME naming convention (camelCase/PascalCase/kebab-case)
461
+ - Use SAME import paths (@/ or relative or barrel exports)
462
+ - Use SAME state management (Redux slice → Redux slice,
463
+ Zustand store → Zustand store, BLoC → BLoC)
464
+ - Use SAME error handling pattern
465
+ - Wire navigation the SAME way
466
+ - Include ALL 4 states: loading / error / empty / success
467
+
468
+ STEP 5: NO REFERENCE EXISTS (new project)
469
+ - Use Clean Architecture from platform reference file
470
+ - ASK user: "API or Firebase?" before creating data layer
471
+ - Follow whatever file naming exists in the project
472
+ - Create minimal structure, don't over-engineer
473
+ ```
474
+
475
+ **Example — "Create auth feature" in a project with existing `product` feature:**
476
+
477
+ ```
478
+ SCAN: src/features/product/ has: screen, hook, service, types, store
479
+ REFERENCE: product feature
480
+ DATA SOURCE: product uses axios → auth uses axios
481
+ SCAFFOLD:
482
+ src/features/product/ProductScreen.tsx → src/features/auth/LoginScreen.tsx
483
+ src/features/product/useProducts.ts → src/features/auth/useAuth.ts
484
+ src/features/product/productService.ts → src/features/auth/authService.ts
485
+ src/features/product/product.types.ts → src/features/auth/auth.types.ts

489
+ ### Feature Side Effects
490

528
+
529
+ ## Error Recovery Protocol
530
+
531
+ **When errors occur, follow systematic recovery with retry limits.**
532
+
533
+ ```
534
+ ERROR ENCOUNTERED → RECOVERY FLOW:
535
+
536
+ ATTEMPT 1: Auto-fix obvious issues
537
+ - Missing imports? → Add them
538
+ - Type errors? → Fix types
539
+ - Linter errors? → Auto-format
540
+ - Run verification → success? DONE : next attempt
541
+
542
+ ATTEMPT 2: Deeper investigation
543
+ - Read related files
544
+ - Check dependencies installed
545
+ - Verify native module linked (mobile)
546
+ - Run verification → success? DONE : next attempt
547
+
548
+ ATTEMPT 3: Alternative approach
549
+ - Try different solution
550
+ - Use fallback library
551
+ - Simplify implementation
552
+ - Run verification → success? DONE : next attempt
553
+
554
+ ATTEMPT 4: STOP & ASK USER
555
+ - Describe what failed
556
+ - Show 3 attempts made
557
+ - Present 2-3 options
558
+ - Wait for user decision
559
+ ```
560
+
561
+ **Max Attempts Rule:**
562
+ - **Build errors:** 3 attempts → ask user
563
+ - **Test failures:** 3 attempts → ask user
564
+ - **Linter errors:** 2 attempts → ask user (don't loop forever)
565
+ - **Runtime crashes:** 2 attempts → ask user (need logs/debugging)
566
+
567
+ **Anti-Pattern (NEVER DO THIS):**
568
+ ```
569
+ ❌ Attempt 1: Fix type error
570
+ ❌ Attempt 2: Fix same type error again
571
+ ❌ Attempt 3: Fix same type error third time
572
+ ❌ Attempt 4: Fix same type error...
573
+ (infinite loop)
574
+ ```
575
+
576
+ **Correct Pattern:**
577
+ ```
578
+ ✅ Attempt 1: Fix type error in LoginScreen
579
+ ✅ Attempt 2: Error persists, check authService types
580
+ ✅ Attempt 3: Still failing, try alternative implementation with any cast
581
+ ✅ Attempt 4: STOP → "Type error persists. Options: (1) use 'any' cast, (2) refactor types, (3) use different library"
582
+ ```
583
+
584
+ **Mobile-Specific Errors:**
585
+
586
+ | Error Type | Max Attempts | Common Fix |
587
+ |------------|--------------|------------|
588
+ | Gradle build fail | 3 | Clean cache, sync, check deps |
589
+ | CocoaPods install fail | 2 | pod deintegrate → pod install |
590
+ | Metro bundler error | 2 | Clear cache --reset-cache |
591
+ | Native module not found | 2 | Link module, rebuild |
592
+ | Xcode signing error | 1 | ASK USER (needs credentials) |
593
+

595
+
596
+ ## Quality Gate
597
+
598
+ **After creating ANY code, verify ALL of these:**
599
+
600
+ ```
601
+ ✅ IMPORTS — All import paths resolve (no broken references)
602
+ ✅ STATES — All 4 states handled: loading / error / empty / success
603
+ ✅ NAVIGATION — New screen registered in navigator / router
604
+ ✅ TYPES — No 'any', no untyped params (TS/Dart/Swift/Kotlin)
605
+ ✅ CLEANUP — useEffect cleanup / dispose / [weak self] / viewModelScope
606
+ ✅ ERRORS — try/catch on ALL async operations
607
+ ✅ HARD BANS — None of the Hard Bans violated (see below)
608
+ ✅ NAMING — Matches existing project conventions exactly
609
+ ✅ TESTS — Unit test for service/usecase (if project has tests)
610
+
611
+ ⛔ DO NOT tell user "done" until ALL gates pass.
612
+ ```
613
+

727
+ ## Smart Loading
728
+
729
+ **After auto-detect, use the Read tool to open ONLY relevant files.**
730
+ **Base path: `~/.claude/skills/skill-mobile-mt/`**
731
+
732
+ | Detected | Read this file | When |
733
+ |----------|----------------|------|
734
+ | React Native / Expo | `react-native/react-native.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS (RN project) |
735
+ | Flutter | `flutter/flutter.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS (Flutter project) |
736
+ | iOS Native | `ios/ios-native.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS (iOS project) |
737
+ | Android Native | `android/android-native.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS (Android project) |
738
+ | All platforms | `shared/code-review.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS |
739
+ | All platforms | `shared/bug-detection.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS |
740
+ | All platforms | `shared/prompt-engineering.md` | 🔴 ALWAYS |
741
+ | All platforms | `shared/release-checklist.md` | 🟡 Task Router says so |
742

751
+ **Cross-platform:** Flutter/RN projects also Read `ios/ios-native.md` + `android/android-native.md` for native modules.
752

753
+ **Context savings: ~66% by reading only the relevant platform file.**
754
+
755
+ ---
756
+
757
+ ## Grounding Protocol (Anti-Hallucination)
758
+
759
+ **Every answer MUST be grounded in verifiable sources. NEVER answer from "memory" or "intuition".**
760
+
761
+ ### Source Hierarchy (use in order)
762
+
763
+ ```
764
+ PRIORITY 1: PROJECT CODE (highest trust)
765
+ → Read the actual file → cite file:line
766
+ → "Based on src/services/authService.ts:42, your project uses axios with interceptor"
767
+
768
+ PRIORITY 2: SKILL REFERENCE FILES
769
+ → Read shared/*.md or platform/*.md → cite which file
770
+ → "Per react-native/react-native.md, use FlatList instead of ScrollView for lists"
771
+
772
+ PRIORITY 3: OFFICIAL DOCS (via WebSearch)
773
+ → Search official docs → cite URL
774
+ → "Per React Native docs: https://reactnative.dev/docs/flatlist"
775
+
776
+ PRIORITY 4: PRODUCTION REPOS (from architecture-intelligence.md)
777
+ → Cite which repo the pattern comes from
778
+ → "Ignite (19.7k stars) uses this folder structure for features"
779
+
780
+ ⛔ PRIORITY 5: AI GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (lowest trust — AVOID)
781
+ → Only when Priorities 1-4 return nothing
782
+ → MUST prefix with: "⚠️ Not verified from your project or docs:"
783
+ → MUST add: "Verify this before using in production"
784
+ ```
785
+
786
+ ### Mandatory Rules
787
+
788
+ ```
789
+ RULE 1: READ BEFORE ANSWER
790
+ ⛔ NEVER suggest code changes to a file you haven't Read
791
+ ⛔ NEVER reference a function/class without verifying it exists
792
+ ✅ ALWAYS: Read file → find the code → then suggest fix
793
+
794
+ RULE 2: VERIFY APIs AND LIBRARIES EXIST
795
+ ⛔ NEVER suggest an import without verifying the package is installed
796
+ ⛔ NEVER use a function name without checking it exists in the codebase
797
+ ✅ Check package.json/pubspec.yaml FIRST → then suggest usage
798
+ ✅ Grep for the function → confirm it exists → then reference it
799
+
800
+ RULE 3: CITE YOUR SOURCE
801
+ Every code suggestion MUST cite where it came from:
802
+ - "Cloned from src/features/product/productService.ts" (project code)
803
+ - "Pattern from shared/architecture-intelligence.md" (skill file)
804
+ - "Per React Navigation v6 docs" (official docs)
805
+ ⛔ If you can't cite a source → say "I need to verify this first"
806
+
807
+ RULE 4: SAY "I DON'T KNOW" WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW
808
+ ✅ "I'm not sure about this API. Let me check the docs."
809
+ ✅ "I need to read your codebase to answer this correctly."
810
+ ✅ "This might work but I haven't verified — let me check."
811
+ ⛔ NEVER confidently state something you haven't verified
812
+ ⛔ NEVER invent function signatures, API endpoints, or library names
813
+
814
+ RULE 5: VERSION-SPECIFIC ANSWERS
815
+ ⛔ NEVER suggest code for "React Native" without knowing the version
816
+ ⛔ NEVER assume latest version — check package.json first
817
+ ✅ "Your project uses RN 0.73, so the correct API is..."
818
+ ✅ "Expo SDK 51 uses expo-router v3, here's the correct import..."
819
+
820
+ RULE 6: NO PHANTOM PACKAGES
821
+ Before suggesting ANY npm/pub/pod package:
822
+ ✅ Verify it exists: check package.json or search npm/pub
823
+ ✅ Verify it's compatible: check version against project SDK
824
+ ⛔ NEVER suggest a package name from memory without verification
825
+ ⛔ NEVER mix up similar packages (e.g., @react-navigation vs react-navigation)
826
+ ```
827
+
828
+ ### When Fixing Bugs
829
+
830
+ ```
831
+ GROUNDED BUG FIX PROTOCOL:
832
+
833
+ 1. READ the file with the bug (don't guess from error message alone)
834
+ 2. FIND the exact line causing the issue
835
+ 3. UNDERSTAND the data flow (what calls this? what does it return?)
836
+ 4. VERIFY the fix works with the actual types/interfaces in the project
837
+ 5. CHECK side effects (grep for other files using this function)
838
+ 6. CITE: "Fix in [file]:[line] — [root cause] — [why fix works]"
839
+
840
+ ⛔ NEVER:
841
+ - "The error is probably because..." (guess without reading code)
842
+ - "Try changing X to Y" (without reading the file first)
843
+ - "This should fix it" (without verifying types match)
844
+ ```
845
+
846
+ ### Anti-Hallucination Checklist (run before EVERY response)
847
+
848
+ ```
849
+ Before responding, verify:
850
+ □ Did I READ the relevant files? (not just guess from file names)
851
+ □ Are all function/class names I mentioned REAL? (verified via Grep/Read)
852
+ □ Are all package names I mentioned INSTALLED? (checked package.json)
853
+ □ Are my API suggestions compatible with the project's SDK version?
854
+ □ Did I cite where my solution comes from?
855
+ □ If I'm unsure about something, did I flag it?
856
+
857
+ If ANY checkbox fails → go back and verify before responding.
858
+ ```
859
+
860
+ ---
861
+
862
+ ## Docs-First Protocol (Always Use Latest)
863
+
864
+ **When setting up, installing, or configuring ANY library/SDK/tool — ALWAYS search official docs FIRST.**
865
+
866
+ ### When This Triggers
867
+
868
+ ```
869
+ TRIGGERS:
870
+ - "Install X" / "Add X package" / "Setup X"
871
+ - "Configure X" / "Integrate X"
872
+ - "How to use X" / "What's the API for X"
873
+ - "Upgrade from X to Y"
874
+ - ANY new library, framework feature, or SDK API
875
+
876
+ ⛔ DO NOT answer from memory. Docs change. APIs change. Syntax changes.
877
+ ```
878
+
879
+ ### Docs-First Protocol
880
+
881
+ ```
882
+ STEP 1: CHECK PROJECT VERSION
883
+ Read package.json / pubspec.yaml → get exact version of:
884
+ - Framework (react-native, expo, flutter)
885
+ - Target library (if already installed)
886
+ - Related dependencies
887
+
888
+ STEP 2: SEARCH OFFICIAL DOCS (WebSearch)
889
+ Search: "[library name] [version] official documentation [current year]"
890
+ Examples:
891
+ - "react-navigation v7 installation guide 2026"
892
+ - "expo-camera SDK 52 setup documentation"
893
+ - "riverpod 2.0 getting started flutter"
894
+
895
+ ✅ ALWAYS search with the CURRENT YEAR to get latest docs
896
+ ⛔ NEVER rely on training data — it may be outdated
897
+
898
+ STEP 3: VERIFY API / SYNTAX
899
+ From the docs, confirm:
900
+ - Import path (packages rename, move, split)
901
+ - Function signatures (params change between versions)
902
+ - Configuration format (config files change)
903
+ - Peer dependencies (new requirements)
904
+ - Breaking changes (v6 → v7 migration)
905
+
906
+ STEP 4: APPLY WITH CITATION
907
+ "Per [library] v[X] docs ([URL]):
908
+ import { X } from '[correct-package]';"
909
+
910
+ ⛔ If docs not found → say "I couldn't find current docs, let me try..."
911
+ ⛔ If conflicting info → use the OFFICIAL source, not blog posts
912
+ ```
913
+
914
+ ### Common Outdated Patterns (AI memory traps)
915
+
916
+ ```
917
+ ⛔ AI OFTEN GETS WRONG:
918
+ - React Navigation: v5 syntax vs v6 vs v7 (changed significantly)
919
+ - Expo Router: file-based routing changed between SDK versions
920
+ - Firebase: modular v9+ syntax vs old v8 namespaced syntax
921
+ - Swift: async/await vs completion handlers (iOS 15+ only)
922
+ - Jetpack Compose: API surface changes rapidly between versions
923
+ - React Native: New Architecture (Fabric/TurboModules) vs Bridge
924
+
925
+ ✅ ALWAYS WebSearch for the exact version in the project:
926
+ "react-navigation v7 createStackNavigator" ← correct for v7
927
+ NOT "react-navigation createStackNavigator" ← could return v4/v5 syntax
928
+ ```
929
+
930
+ ### Package Installation Protocol
931
+
932
+ ```
933
+ BEFORE running npm install / flutter pub add / pod install:
934
+
935
+ 1. CHECK if the package exists:
936
+ → WebSearch "[package name] npm" or "[package name] pub.dev"
937
+ → Verify it's maintained (last publish date)
938
+ → Verify it's compatible with project SDK version
939
+
940
+ 2. CHECK the correct install command:
941
+ → WebSearch "[package name] installation [framework version]"
942
+ → Some packages need peer dependencies
943
+ → Some packages need native setup (pod install, gradle sync)
944
+ → Expo packages: use "npx expo install" NOT "npm install"
945
+
946
+ 3. CHECK for breaking changes:
947
+ → If upgrading: WebSearch "[package name] migration guide v[old] to v[new]"
948
+ → Read CHANGELOG for breaking changes
949
+ → Check if config format changed
950
+
951
+ 4. AFTER install:
952
+ → Verify import works (no red squiggles)
953
+ → Run build to check native linking
954
+ → Test on BOTH platforms (iOS + Android)
955
+
956
+ ⛔ NEVER:
957
+ - "npm install [package]" without checking version compatibility
958
+ - Copy import from memory (import paths change between versions)
959
+ - Assume the API is the same as 6 months ago
960
+ - Skip native setup steps (pod install, gradle sync)
961
+ ```
962
+
963
+ ---
964
+
965
+ ## Security Protocol
966
+
967
+ **Security is NOT optional. Every feature MUST pass security checks before completion.**
968
+
969
+ ### Security Scan (run on EVERY feature)
970
+
971
+ ```
972
+ BEFORE marking any feature as done, scan for:
973
+
974
+ 1. 🔴 SECRETS & CREDENTIALS
975
+ □ No hardcoded API keys, tokens, passwords, or secrets
976
+ □ No secrets in source code, comments, or config files
977
+ □ .env files in .gitignore (NEVER committed)
978
+ □ API keys loaded from environment variables or secure config
979
+
980
+ 2. 🔴 TOKEN & AUTH STORAGE
981
+ □ Auth tokens → SecureStore (Expo) / Keychain (iOS) / EncryptedSharedPreferences (Android)
982
+ □ ⛔ NEVER AsyncStorage / SharedPreferences / UserDefaults for tokens
983
+ □ ⛔ NEVER localStorage / sessionStorage for tokens
984
+ □ Refresh tokens stored separately from access tokens
985
+ □ Token cleared on logout (all storage locations)
986
+
987
+ 3. 🔴 INPUT VALIDATION
988
+ □ User input sanitized before display (prevent XSS)
989
+ □ User input validated before API calls (prevent injection)
990
+ □ Deep link parameters validated before navigation
991
+ □ File uploads: validate type, size, content (not just extension)
992
+ □ Search/filter inputs: debounced + length-limited
993
+
994
+ 4. 🔴 NETWORK SECURITY
995
+ □ All API calls over HTTPS (never HTTP)
996
+ □ Certificate pinning for sensitive endpoints (banking, health)
997
+ □ API responses validated (don't trust server blindly)
998
+ □ Timeout on all network requests (prevent hanging)
999
+ □ No sensitive data in URL query parameters (use POST body)
1000
+
1001
+ 5. 🟠 DATA PROTECTION
1002
+ □ PII (name, email, phone, location) never in logs
1003
+ □ PII never in analytics events without anonymization
1004
+ □ Crash reports don't contain user data
1005
+ □ Cache/temp files cleared on logout
1006
+ □ Clipboard cleared after paste of sensitive data
1007
+
1008
+ 6. 🟠 AUTHENTICATION FLOW
1009
+ □ Login: rate-limited (prevent brute force)
1010
+ □ 401 response → auto-refresh token OR logout
1011
+ □ Session timeout after inactivity
1012
+ □ Biometric auth: use system APIs (Face ID / fingerprint)
1013
+ □ OAuth: validate redirect URI, use PKCE
1014
+
1015
+ 7. 🟡 PLATFORM-SPECIFIC
1016
+ iOS:
1017
+ □ App Transport Security (ATS) enabled
1018
+ □ Keychain access groups configured correctly
1019
+ □ Privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) for required APIs
1020
+ □ NSCameraUsageDescription / NSLocationUsageDescription set
1021
+
1022
+ Android:
1023
+ □ android:usesCleartextTraffic="false" in manifest
1024
+ □ ProGuard/R8 rules for obfuscation in release
1025
+ □ Exported activities/receivers properly restricted
1026
+ □ Backup rules exclude sensitive data (android:allowBackup)
1027
+ ```
1028
+
1029
+ ### Security Non-Negotiables (NEVER bypass)
1030
+
1031
+ ```
1032
+ ⛔ ABSOLUTE RULES — no exceptions, no workarounds:
1033
+
1034
+ 1. NEVER store tokens in plain storage
1035
+ AsyncStorage / SharedPreferences / UserDefaults = ❌ CRITICAL
1036
+ SecureStore / Keychain / EncryptedSharedPreferences = ✅ ONLY
1037
+
1038
+ 2. NEVER hardcode secrets
1039
+ const API_KEY = "sk-..." = ❌ CRITICAL
1040
+ process.env.API_KEY / Config.API_KEY = ✅ ONLY
1041
+
1042
+ 3. NEVER log sensitive data
1043
+ console.log(user.password) = ❌ CRITICAL
1044
+ console.log("Login attempt for user:", user.id) = ✅ OK (ID only)
1045
+
1046
+ 4. NEVER trust deep links
1047
+ navigation.navigate(params.screen) = ❌ CRITICAL (arbitrary navigation)
1048
+ if (ALLOWED_SCREENS.includes(params.screen)) navigate(params.screen) = ✅
1049
+
1050
+ 5. NEVER disable SSL verification
1051
+ rejectUnauthorized: false = ❌ CRITICAL
1052
+ Proper certificate handling = ✅ ONLY
1053
+
1054
+ 6. NEVER commit .env files
1055
+ .env in git = ❌ CRITICAL
1056
+ .env in .gitignore + .env.example committed = ✅
1057
+ ```
1058
+
1059
+ ### When User Asks to "Skip Security" or "Do It Quick"
1060
+
1061
+ ```
1062
+ ✅ Response: "I'll implement it correctly AND quickly. Security doesn't slow down development — it prevents emergency patches later."
1063
+
1064
+ ⛔ NEVER skip security checks because:
1065
+ - "It's just a prototype" → Prototypes become production
1066
+ - "We'll fix it later" → Technical debt compounds
1067
+ - "It's internal only" → Internal apps get attacked too
1068
+ - "Just hardcode it for now" → Secrets leak to git history permanently
1069
+ ```
1070
+
1071
+ ---
1072
+
1073
+ ## Hard Bans
1074
+
1075
+ **❌ These will CRASH, LEAK, or get REJECTED from app stores:**
1076
+
1077
+ ```
1078
+ ❌ Force unwrap (! / !! / as!) without null check
1079
+ ❌ Hardcoded API keys or secrets in source code
1080
+ ❌ Tokens in AsyncStorage / SharedPreferences / UserDefaults
1081
+ ❌ console.log / print / NSLog in production builds
1082
+ ❌ ScrollView for lists > 20 items (use FlatList / ListView.builder / LazyColumn)
1083
+ ❌ Network call inside render / build / Composable
1084
+ ❌ setState / state update after unmount / dispose
1085
+ ❌ Empty catch blocks (swallowing errors silently)
1086
+ ❌ Index as list key / no key in dynamic lists
1087
+ ❌ Missing error / loading / empty states (blank screen)
1088
+ ❌ Inline anonymous functions in render (re-creates every frame)
1089
+ ❌ Main thread blocking (heavy compute without background thread)
1090
+ ❌ Files > 500 lines (split immediately)
1091
+ ❌ Deep link params used without validation
1092
+ ```
1093
+
1094
+ **If you see ANY of these in code → flag as 🔴 CRITICAL, fix immediately.**
1095

1097
+
1098
+ ## Mobile Anti-Patterns
1099
+
1100
+ **Things that WILL cause problems in mobile development. Learn from other AI tools' mistakes.**
1101
+
1102
+ ### 1. Package Management Anti-Patterns
1103
+
1104
+ ```
1105
+ ❌ BAD:
1106
+ - npm install <package> without checking mobile compatibility
1107
+ - Adding packages that work on web but not React Native
1108
+ - Using browser-only APIs (document, window) in RN
1109
+ - Mixing package managers (yarn + npm + pnpm)
1110
+
1111
+ ✅ GOOD:
1112
+ - Check package README for "React Native", "iOS", "Android" keywords
1113
+ - Look for react-native- prefix for RN packages
1114
+ - Use expo install for Expo-managed projects
1115
+ - Stick to ONE package manager throughout project
1116
+ ```
1117
+
1118
+ ### 2. Native Module Anti-Patterns
1119
+
1120
+ ```
1121
+ ❌ BAD:
1122
+ - Assuming npm install auto-links native modules
1123
+ - Not running pod install after adding iOS dependencies
1124
+ - Not rebuilding after adding native modules
1125
+ - Using outdated react-native link command
1126
+
1127
+ ✅ GOOD:
1128
+ - For RN >= 0.60: npx pod-install (auto-links)
1129
+ - For older: npx react-native link <package>
1130
+ - Always rebuild after native changes:
1131
+ - iOS: Clean build folder → Build
1132
+ - Android: ./gradlew clean → ./gradlew assembleDebug
1133
+ ```
1134
+
1135
+ ### 3. Platform-Specific Code Anti-Patterns
1136
+
1137
+ ```
1138
+ ❌ BAD:
1139
+ - Writing platform code without Platform.OS check
1140
+ - Hardcoding iOS-only APIs on Android
1141
+ - Not testing on BOTH platforms
1142
+
1143
+ ✅ GOOD:
1144
+ - Use Platform.select() for different values
1145
+ - Use .ios.tsx / .android.tsx for platform files
1146
+ - Abstract platform differences in services
1147
+ ```
1148
+
1149
+ ### 4. Performance Anti-Patterns
1150
+
1151
+ ```
1152
+ ❌ BAD:
1153
+ - Using ScrollView for long lists (> 20 items)
1154
+ - Not using React.memo for expensive components
1155
+ - Loading all data at once (no pagination)
1156
+ - Large images without optimization
1157
+ - Heavy computations on UI thread
1158
+
1159
+ ✅ GOOD:
1160
+ - FlatList / SectionList for lists (RN)
1161
+ - ListView.builder for lists (Flutter)
1162
+ - React.memo + useCallback for perf (RN)
1163
+ - Image optimization: smaller sizes, WebP format
1164
+ - Use background threads for heavy work
1165
+ ```
1166
+
1167
+ ### 5. Navigation Anti-Patterns
1168
+
1169
+ ```
1170
+ ❌ BAD:
1171
+ - Direct imports of screens without navigation
1172
+ - Passing data through global state for navigation
1173
+ - Deep link URLs without validation
1174
+ - Not registering screens in navigator
1175
+
1176
+ ✅ GOOD:
1177
+ - navigation.navigate('Screen', { params })
1178
+ - Use typed navigation (TypeScript)
1179
+ - Validate deep link params
1180
+ - Register ALL screens in root navigator
1181
+ ```
1182
+
1183
+ ### 6. State Management Anti-Patterns
1184
+
1185
+ ```
1186
+ ❌ BAD:
1187
+ - Storing sensitive data in AsyncStorage
1188
+ - Not persisting important state
1189
+ - Global state for everything
1190
+ - setState after unmount
1191
+
1192
+ ✅ GOOD:
1193
+ - SecureStore / Keychain for tokens
1194
+ - Redux persist / MMKV for fast persistence
1195
+ - Local state for UI, global for shared data
1196
+ - Cleanup subscriptions on unmount
1197
+ ```
1198
+
1199
+ ### 7. Build Configuration Anti-Patterns
1200
+
1201
+ ```
1202
+ ❌ BAD:
1203
+ - Hardcoded API URLs in code
1204
+ - Same bundle ID for dev/staging/prod
1205
+ - Secrets committed to git
1206
+ - No environment variable management
1207
+
1208
+ ✅ GOOD:
1209
+ - react-native-config or expo-constants for env vars
1210
+ - Different bundle IDs per environment
1211
+ - .env files + .gitignore
1212
+ - Use build flavors (Android) / schemes (iOS)
1213
+ ```
1214
+
1215
+ ### 8. Testing Anti-Patterns (from AI tools)
1216
+
1217
+ ```
1218
+ ❌ BAD (AI tools often do this):
1219
+ - Assume tests pass without running them
1220
+ - Skip E2E tests on mobile ("too slow")
1221
+ - Test only on one platform
1222
+ - Not testing offline scenarios
1223
+
1224
+ ✅ GOOD:
1225
+ - ALWAYS run tests before completion
1226
+ - Detox / Maestro for E2E on both platforms
1227
+ - Unit tests for business logic
1228
+ - Test airplane mode / slow network
1229
+ ```
1230
+
1231
+ ### 9. Permissions Anti-Patterns
1232
+
1233
+ ```
1234
+ ❌ BAD:
1235
+ - Requesting all permissions upfront
1236
+ - Not handling permission denial
1237
+ - Missing permission strings (iOS)
1238
+ - Not checking permission before use
1239
+
1240
+ ✅ GOOD:
1241
+ - Request permission just-in-time
1242
+ - Show rationale before requesting
1243
+ - Gracefully handle denial (show message)
1244
+ - Add usage descriptions to Info.plist
1245
+ ```
1246
+
1247
+ ### 10. Deployment Anti-Patterns
1248
+
1249
+ ```
1250
+ ❌ BAD:
1251
+ - Shipping with console.log statements
1252
+ - No crash reporting setup
1253
+ - No analytics
1254
+ - Hardcoded version numbers
1255
+
1256
+ ✅ GOOD:
1257
+ - Strip console.log in production
1258
+ - Sentry / Firebase Crashlytics
1259
+ - Analytics for user behavior
1260
+ - Auto-increment build numbers in CI
1261
+ ```
1262
+
1263
+ **Learn from others' mistakes:**
1264
+ - Cursor: Often assumes web packages work on mobile → they don't
1265
+ - Cline: Skips native build verification → builds break
1266
+ - Windsurf: Doesn't test both platforms → platform-specific bugs
1267
+ - Devin: Assumes npm install links native modules → it doesn't
1268
+
1269
+ ---
1270
+
1271
+ ## Architecture (All Platforms)
1272
+
1273
+ ```
1274
+ Presentation (UI) → Domain (Business Logic) ← Data (API, DB, Cache)
1275
+
1276
+ Domain depends on NOTHING. Dependencies flow INWARD only.
1277
+ ```
1278
+
1279
+ | Principle | Rule |
1280
+ |-----------|------|
1281
+ | S — Single Responsibility | 1 file = 1 purpose. Max 300 lines. |
1282
+ | O — Open/Closed | Extend via composition, not modification. |
1283
+ | L — Liskov | Mocks behave like real implementations. |
1284
+ | I — Interface Segregation | Small focused interfaces. No god-services. |
1285
+ | D — Dependency Inversion | Inject services. Never hardcode singletons. |
1286
+
1287
+ ### UI State Machine (ALL frameworks)
1288
+
1289
+ ```
1290
+ LOADING → skeleton / shimmer / spinner
1291
+ SUCCESS → show data
1292
+ ERROR → error message + retry button
1293
+ EMPTY → helpful empty message
1294
+ ⛔ NEVER show a blank screen.
1295
+ ```
1296
+
1297
+ ---
1298
+
1299
+ ## Auto-Think (Both Modes)
1300
+
1301
+ **Before ANY action, generate a think block with pre-action validation. Never skip this.**
1302
+
1303
+ ```
1304
+ <think>
1305
+ TASK: [what user asked]
1306
+ TASK TYPE: [create feature / create screen / fix bug / review / optimize / refactor / release]
1307

1312
+ # Pre-Action Validation (CRITICAL):
1313
+ □ Do I have all required parameters?
1314
+ □ Can I infer missing info from existing files/tools?
1315
+ □ Am I about to make assumptions? (if yes, ASK FIRST)
1316
+ □ Is mobile context captured? (platform, SDK, device)
1317
+ □ Are native modules identified?
1318
+ □ Do I know the data source? (API / Firebase / GraphQL)
1319
+ □ Do I know the state management? (Redux / Zustand / etc.)
1320
+
1321
+ # If project mode:
1322
+ REFERENCE: [most similar existing feature + path]
1323
+ DATA SOURCE:[detected from reference: axios / fetch / Firebase / GraphQL]
1324
+ STATE MGMT: [detected from reference: Redux / Zustand / MobX / etc.]
1325
+ FILE PATTERN:[detected naming/structure from reference]
1326
+
1327
+ # Plan:
1328
+ FILES: [files to create/modify + why]
1329
+ SIDE EFFECTS: [auth needs interceptor? list needs pagination?]
1330
+ STATES: loading / error / empty / success
1331
+ RISKS: [what could break]
1332
+ DEPENDENCIES: [new packages needed?]
1333
+ NATIVE: [native module changes? pod install? rebuild?]
1334
+
1335
+ # Quality gates:
1336
+ VERIFY: [how to confirm it works]
1337
+ TEST: [which tests to run]
1338
+ BUILD: [iOS? Android? Both?]
1339

+ MAX ATTEMPTS: [3 for build, 2 for linter]
1342
+ FALLBACK: [alternative approach if fails]
1343
+ </think>
1344
+ ```
1345
+
1346
+ **Example:**
1347
+ ```
1348
+ <think>
1349
