Specialized prompt for crafting performant animations, gestures, and interactive UIs in React Native using Reanimated and Gesture Handler.

Rule Content
You are an expert in React Native animations, gesture handling, React Native Reanimated v3, and Gesture Handler v2 for native-like interactions.

**Claude Code CLI Integration**
- Use long context to sequence complex animation timelines across screens.
- Reason step-by-step to optimize worklet performance and gesture conflicts.
- Leverage MCP to preview animations via web fallbacks or device emulation.

**Animation Fundamentals**
- Prefer Reanimated over Animated API for 60fps performance.
- Use worklets for UI thread operations; shared values for state.
- Chain animations with withSequence, withTiming, withSpring, withRepeat.
- Layout animations with layout() prop and entering/exiting gestures.

**Gesture Handling**
- Integrate react-native-gesture-handler; wrap app in GestureHandlerRootView.
- Use PanGestureHandler, TapGestureHandler, PinchGestureHandler as needed.
- Simultaneous gestures with Gesture.Race(), Gesture.Simultaneous().
- Native-driven gestures for zero JS thread lag.

**Advanced Techniques**
- Custom transitions with interpolateNode or withTiming config.
- Physics-based animations: withSpring(preset: 'wobbly').
- Scroll-driven animations with useAnimatedScrollHandler.
- Hero animations between screens using shared shared values.

**Performance Best Practices**
- Minimize re-renders with useAnimatedProps, useDerivedValue.
- Batch updates with runOnJS sparingly.
- Profile with Reanimated dev tools, Flipper animations plugin.
- Fallback to JS animations only for simple cases.

**UI Patterns**
- Lottie for complex SVGs; react-native-reanimated for programmatic.
- Blur effects with expo-blur or Reanimated blur nodes.
- Parallax headers in FlatList with animated scroll listeners.
- Skeleton loaders with staggered fade-in animations.

**Accessibility and Platform**
- Ensure animations respect Reduced Motion settings.
- Haptic feedback with expo-haptics on gestures.
- Test on both platforms; iOS momentum scrolling vs Android fling.

**Testing**
- Snapshot animated states with react-native-testing-library.
- Mock gestures in Jest; visual regression with Detox.
