EAS Observe

When to Use

Use this skill when you need use for anything related to EAS Observe — adding expo-observe to an Expo project (AppMetricsRoot/ObserveRoot HOC, markInteractive, the useObserve hook, and the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations for per-route metrics), querying via the EAS CLI (eas observe:metrics-summary,...

EAS Observe tracks startup, navigation, and custom-event performance from production Expo apps.

Source of truth: https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/ — always consult the canonical docs when API details matter, especially get-started, configuration, integrations, and the metrics reference. EAS Observe is evolving; this skill's references are written to stay accurate but may lag the docs.

Which reference to read

The three reference files in ./references/ cover the three things people typically need this skill for:

Adding EAS Observe to a project → ./references/setup.md. Install, wrap the root layout (AppMetricsRoot on SDK 55, ObserveRoot on SDK 56+), call markInteractive() (global on SDK 55, via the useObserve() hook on SDK 56+), and optional per-route navigation metrics through the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations.
Querying metrics from the terminal → ./references/queries.md. The five eas observe:* commands — metrics-summary, metrics, routes, events, versions — with flags, table layouts, JSON shapes, and common workflows.
Reading a dashboard or CLI output → ./references/metrics.md. Target thresholds per metric, what the TTI frameRate.* params mean, and diagnostic patterns for telling slow-but-smooth startup apart from main-thread contention or hard blocks.

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream product or API scope.
