The skill
The argent react native app workflow skill guides agents to start, debug, rebuild and test React Native apps on iOS simulators and Android emulators with argent tools.
Only when you ask.
The habit
The app builds and runs clean.
↻ Runs by itselfapp code changed
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one build and test pass per run, or after three failed build attempts.
- 01
Read the workflow
The agent reads the saved commands, or reads the argent-environment-inspector result and package.json scripts on the first run.
- 02
Check Metro
It checks the port with lsof and debugger-status and starts Metro only if none is running.
- 03
Get a device
It picks a device with list-devices and boots it with the argent-ios-simulator-setup or argent-android-emulator-setup steps.
- 04
Reload or rebuild
It uses debugger-reload-metro for JS changes and a rebuild for native changes.
- 05
Check runtime
It reads debugger-log-registry and uses describe or screenshot to check the screen.
- 06
Confirm tests
It asks you which test suite to run, then runs it.
- 07
Ask after failures
After two or three failed builds it stops and asks you for guidance.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/react-native-run-check-loop/**
- Talks toregistry.npmjs.org
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKIt asks you before anything goes out.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Argent React Native App Workflow skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ You start a React Native app
- ✓ Metro or the build fails
- ✓ You need to run app tests
Skip it when
- – You test on a physical iPhone
- – The project is not React Native
Argent React Native App Workflow skill, answered.
Will it kill a process on my Metro port?
Only with your OK. The skill says to ask, and stop-metro needs your confirmation.
Does it work on a physical iPhone?
No. The skill says Metro debugging tools reject physical iPhones, so use a simulator.
