Expo UI Jetpack Compose

name: expo-ui-jetpack-compose description: @expo/ui/jetpack-compose package lets you use Jetpack Compose Views and modifiers in your app.

The instructions in this skill apply to SDK 55 only. For other SDK versions, refer to the Expo UI Jetpack Compose docs for that version for the most accurate information.

Installation

npx expo install @expo/ui

A native rebuild is required after installation (npx expo run:android).

Instructions

• Expo UI's API mirrors Jetpack Compose's API. Use Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 knowledge to decide which components or modifiers to use.
• Components are imported from @expo/ui/jetpack-compose, modifiers from @expo/ui/jetpack-compose/modifiers.
• When about to use a component, fetch its docs to confirm the API - https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v55.0.0/sdk/ui/jetpack-compose/{component-name}/index.md
• When unsure about a modifier's API, refer to the docs - https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v55.0.0/sdk/ui/jetpack-compose/modifiers/index.md
• Every Jetpack Compose tree must be wrapped in Host. Use <Host matchContents> for intrinsic sizing, or <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}> when you need explicit size (e.g. as a parent of LazyColumn). Example:

import { Host, Column, Button, Text } from "@expo/ui/jetpack-compose";
import { fillMaxWidth, paddingAll } from "@expo/ui/jetpack-compose/modifiers";

<Host matchContents>
  <Column verticalArrangement={{ spacedBy: 8 }} modifiers={[fillMaxWidth(), paddingAll(16)]}>
    <Text style={{ typography: "titleLarge" }}>Hello</Text>
    <Button => alert("Pressed!")}>Press me</Button>
  </Column>
</Host>;

Key Components

• LazyColumn — Use instead of react-native ScrollView/FlatList for scrollable lists. Wrap in <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>.
• Icon — Use <Icon source={require('./icon.xml')} size={24} /> with Android XML vector drawables from Material Symbols.

Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior design decisions (color palettes, typography, spacing scales) to maintain visual consistency across sessions. Cache generated design tokens.

# Check for prior frontend/design context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "design system decisions and component patterns for Expo Ui Jetpack Compose"

Storing Results

After completing work, store frontend/design decisions for future sessions:

python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Design system: adopted 8px grid, Inter font family, HSL color tokens with dark mode support" \
  --type decision --project <project> \
  --tags expo-ui-jetpack-compose frontend

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share design decisions with backend agents (API contract changes) and QA agents (visual regression baselines).

python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Implemented UI components — new design system with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)" \
  --project <project>

Design Memory Persistence

Store design system tokens and component decisions in Qdrant so any agent on any platform (Claude, Gemini, Cursor) can retrieve and apply consistent styling.
