build-nitro-modules

Builds and designs React Native Nitro Modules with Nitrogen, HybridObject TypeScript specs, Nitro View components, generated native implementations, zero-copy and native-state APIs, Swift/Kotlin/C++ bindings, example apps, and testing. Use when creating a Nitro Module, adding or reviewing HybridObjects, building a Nitro View (HybridView) component, designing Nitro-specific public APIs, implementing native functionality, or setting up the nitrogen codegen pipeline. Pair with api-design for general library API shape.

cpp

Design, implement, and review modern C++ APIs and native implementation code. Use when working on .cpp, .hpp, CMake, RAII ownership, std::variant, callbacks, async work, platform bridges, or C++-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations.

kotlin

Design, implement, and review Kotlin and Android APIs. Use when working on .kt files, Kotlin nullability, sealed classes/interfaces, coroutines, Android threading, Java interop, or Kotlin-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations.

nitro-fetch

Fast native networking primitives for React Native built on Nitro Modules — react-native-nitro-fetch, react-native-nitro-websockets, and react-native-nitro-text-decoder. Covers the fetch API, global replacement, prefetching and cold-start cache warming, the NitroWebSocket class and pre-warming, migrating from React Native's built-in WebSocket, the in-process NetworkInspector, native Perfetto / Instruments tracing, the native TextDecoder, and plugging nitro-fetch into axios via a custom adapter.

react-native-mmkv

Fast synchronous key-value storage for React Native via react-native-mmkv (Nitro-backed). Covers creating and configuring MMKV instances, reading/writing all value types (string, number, boolean, buffer), React hooks for reactive UI, value-change listeners, encryption, AsyncStorage migration, and state-management integrations (zustand, redux-persist, jotai, react-query). Also covers storage limits, multi-process mode, and the V4 upgrade from the class-based API.

react-native-vision-camera

Best-practices guide for react-native-vision-camera v5 (Nitro rewrite, April 2026) and migrating from v4. Use when installing, configuring, or writing code with the Camera, outputs, frame processors, recording, or barcode/depth/RAW features. Also use when converting v4 code (photo={true}, takePhoto, useCameraFormat, useFrameProcessor) to the new v5 API.

swift

Design, implement, and review Swift APIs and Apple-platform code. Use when working on .swift files, Swift types, Foundation or AVFoundation APIs, DispatchQueue, async/await, Task, actors, MainActor, thread-affine state, or Swift-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations.
