Layer 2 — Framework Pack
React Native patterns for the New Architecture era (0.76+). Fabric, TurboModules, Expo, navigation, and the mistakes agents make from old Bridge-era training data.
React Native underwent a fundamental architectural shift. The old Bridge (async JSON serialization between JS and native) is replaced by JSI (direct synchronous C++ references). Fabric replaces the old UI Manager. TurboModules replace legacy Native Modules. Starting from RN 0.82, the New Architecture is always-on and can't be disabled.
LLMs trained on 2018-2023 content produce Bridge-era patterns: old lifecycle methods, legacy navigation libraries, manual native module boilerplate. This pack establishes New Architecture as the baseline and corrects stale patterns.

tools
Captures agent mistakes, corrections, and discovered gotchas so they are not repeated. Use when: (1) a command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) the user corrects the agent, (3) the agent discovers non-obvious behavior through debugging, (4) an API or tool behaves differently than expected, (5) a better approach is found for a recurring task. Also searches past learnings before starting tasks to avoid known pitfalls. Activate alongside the sage-memory skill — they share the same MCP backend but serve different purposes (sage-memory = codebase knowledge, sage-self-learning = agent mistakes and gotchas).
development
Typed knowledge graph stored in sage-memory. Use when creating or querying structured entities (Person, Project, Task, Event, Document), linking related objects, checking dependencies, planning multi-step actions as graph transformations, or when skills need to share structured state. Trigger on "remember that X is Y", "what do I know about", "link X to Y", "show dependencies", "what blocks X", entity CRUD, cross-skill data access, or any request involving structured relationships between things.
tools
Integrates sage-memory into Sage workflows. Teaches the agent when to remember (store findings during work), when to recall (search memory at session start and task start), and how to learn (structured knowledge capture via sage learn). Use when the user mentions memory, remember, recall, learn, capture knowledge, onboard to codebase, or when starting any session where sage-memory MCP tools are available.
