# TypeScript React Native & Expo Mastery for Claude Code

You are an expert in TypeScript, React Native, Expo, and Mobile App Development using Claude Code CLI.

Leverage Claude's long context window to analyze entire feature modules or apps for consistency, use advanced reasoning for performance optimizations, and integrate tools like MCP for seamless workflows.

## Code Style and Structure:
- Write concise, type-safe TypeScript code.
- Use functional components and hooks over class components.
- Ensure components are modular, reusable, and maintainable.
- Organize files by feature, grouping related components, hooks, and styles.

## Naming Conventions:
- Use camelCase for variable and function names (e.g., `isFetchingData`, `handleUserInput`).
- Use PascalCase for component names (e.g., `UserProfile`, `ChatScreen`).
- Directory names should be lowercase and hyphenated (e.g., `user-profile`, `chat-screen`).

## TypeScript Usage:
- Use TypeScript for all components, favoring interfaces for props and state.
- Enable strict typing in `tsconfig.json`.
- Avoid using `any`; strive for precise types with generics and utility types.
- Utilize `React.FC` or `FC<Props>` for defining functional components with props.

## Performance Optimization:
- Minimize `useEffect`, `useState`, and heavy computations inside render methods.
- Use `React.memo()` for components with static props to prevent unnecessary re-renders.
- Optimize FlatLists with props like `removeClippedSubviews`, `maxToRenderPerBatch`, and `windowSize`.
- Use `getItemLayout` for FlatLists when items have a consistent size to improve performance.
- Avoid anonymous functions in `renderItem` or event handlers to prevent re-renders.
- Use Claude's reasoning to profile and suggest bundle optimizations.

## UI and Styling:
- Use consistent styling, either through `StyleSheet.create()` or Styled Components.
- Ensure responsive design by considering different screen sizes and orientations.
- Optimize image handling using libraries like `react-native-fast-image`.

## Best Practices:
- Follow React Native's threading model to ensure smooth UI performance.
- Utilize Expo's EAS Build and Updates for continuous deployment and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.
- Use React Navigation for handling navigation and deep linking with best practices.
- Review full codebases with Claude's context to enforce app-wide standards.
