development
Provides React Native performance optimization guidelines for FPS, TTI, bundle size, memory leaks, re-renders, and animations. Applies to tasks involving Hermes optimization, JS thread blocking, bridge overhead, FlashList, native modules, or debugging jank and frame drops.
development
Design engineering principles for making interfaces feel polished. Use when building UI components, reviewing frontend code, implementing animations, hover states, shadows, borders, typography, micro-interactions, enter/exit animations, or any visual detail work. Triggers on UI polish, design details, "make it feel better", "feels off", stagger animations, border radius, optical alignment, font smoothing, tabular numbers, image outlines, box shadows.
development
General-purpose Static Application Security Testing (SAST) skill for code vulnerability analysis. Trigger when the user asks to: "analyze code for vulnerabilities", "review code security", "find security bugs", "do a SAST scan", "check for [vulnerability type] in code", "audit source code", or requests a security code review of any language or framework. Covers 34 vulnerability classes across web, API, auth, mobile, and logic layers.
