EAS Workflows Skill
Help developers write and edit EAS CI/CD workflow YAML files.
Reference Documentation
Fetch these resources before generating or validating workflow files. First resolve this skill's directory, then use the fetch script in its scripts/ directory. It is implemented using Node.js and caches responses using ETags for efficiency:
# Fetch resources
node <skill-dir>/scripts/fetch.js <url>
-
JSON Schema — https://api.expo.dev/v2/workflows/schema
- It is NECESSARY to fetch this schema
- Source of truth for validation
- All job types and their required/optional parameters
- Trigger types and configurations
- Runner types, VM images, and all enums
-
Syntax Documentation — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/syntax.mdx
- Overview of workflow YAML syntax
- Examples and English explanations
- Expression syntax and contexts
-
Pre-packaged Jobs — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/pre-packaged-jobs.mdx
- Documentation for supported pre-packaged job types
- Job-specific parameters and outputs
Do not rely on memorized values; these resources evolve as new features are added.
Workflow File Location
Workflows live in .eas/workflows/*.yml (or .yaml).
Top-Level Structure
A workflow file has these top-level keys:
name— Display name for the workflowon— Triggers that start the workflow (at least one required)jobs— Job definitions (required)defaults— Shared defaults for all jobsconcurrency— Control parallel workflow runs
Consult the schema for the full specification of each section.
Expressions
Use ${{ }} syntax for dynamic values. The schema defines available contexts:
github.*— GitHub repository and event informationinputs.*— Values fromworkflow_dispatchinputsneeds.*— Outputs and status from dependent jobsjobs.*— Job outputs (alternative syntax)steps.*— Step outputs within custom jobsworkflow.*— Workflow metadata
Generating Workflows
When generating or editing workflows:
- Fetch the schema to get current job types, parameters, and allowed values
- Validate that required fields are present for each job type
- Verify job references in
needsandafterexist in the workflow - Check that expressions reference valid contexts and outputs
- Ensure
ifconditions respect the schema's length constraints
Validation
After generating or editing a workflow file, validate it against the schema:
# Install dependencies if missing
[ -d "<skill-dir>/scripts/node_modules" ] || npm install --prefix <skill-dir>/scripts
node <skill-dir>/scripts/validate.js <workflow.yml> [workflow2.yml ...]
The validator fetches the latest schema and checks the YAML structure. Fix any reported errors before considering the workflow complete.
Answering Questions
When users ask about available options (job types, triggers, runner types, etc.), fetch the schema and derive the answer from it rather than relying on potentially outdated information.

expo/eas-simulator
tools
VerifiedTrustedOfficial
EAS service (paid). Run and control a user's app on a remote iOS/Android simulator hosted on EAS cloud. Read before running any `eas simulator:*` commands - it has the current syntax for this experimental API. Use whenever the user needs a simulator they can't run locally - 'run my app on a cloud simulator', 'use eas simulator to run/install/screenshot my app', 'I'm on Linux/Cursor and need an iOS device', 'no sim on this box / headless CI', 'let an agent click through my app and screenshot it', 'test my dev build on a remote sim with live reload', 'stream a sim to my browser' - even when they don't say 'EAS Simulator' or 'cloud'. On a host WITHOUT a local simulator (Linux, CI, cloud sandbox) it's the default; on macOS, do NOT auto-trigger for a plain 'run on the simulator' - use it only for a cloud/remote/shareable sim, an iOS version they lack, or an agent-driven session. NOT for local sims (expo run:ios, Xcode, Android Studio), EAS Build/Update, web preview, or physical devices.

expo/expo-ui
development
VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Framework (OSS). Build native UI with the @expo/ui package: real SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. Default to @expo/ui for sheets (BottomSheet), pickers, sliders, toggles, menus, and grouped-form sections — do NOT reach for Reanimated, @gorhom/bottom-sheet, or RN built-in Picker/Switch; use @expo/ui instead. Fall back to RN built-ins only when @expo/ui is missing the component. NOTE: @expo/ui List renders native grouped rows like an iOS Settings screen — it is NOT a virtualized list; use FlatList/FlashList for large datasets. Covers universal components (Host, Column, Row, Button, Text, List, BottomSheet, FieldGroup, Switch, Slider, Picker, Menu), drop-in replacements for RN community libraries, and platform-specific SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose trees. Not for Expo Router navigation, Reanimated, or data fetching.

EAS service (paid).
