Core Components
Design System Overview
Use components from your core library instead of raw platform components. This ensures consistent styling and behavior.
Design Tokens
NEVER hard-code values. Always use design tokens.
Spacing Tokens
// CORRECT - Use tokens
<Box padding="$4" marginBottom="$2" />
// WRONG - Hard-coded values
<Box padding={16} marginBottom={8} />
| Token | Value |
|---|---|
$1 |
4px |
$2 |
8px |
$3 |
12px |
$4 |
16px |
$6 |
24px |
$8 |
32px |
Color Tokens
// CORRECT - Semantic tokens
<Text color="$textPrimary" />
<Box backgroundColor="$backgroundSecondary" />
// WRONG - Hard-coded colors
<Text color="#333333" />
<Box backgroundColor="rgb(245, 245, 245)" />
| Semantic Token | Use For |
|---|---|
$textPrimary |
Main text |
$textSecondary |
Supporting text |
$textTertiary |
Disabled/hint text |
$primary500 |
Brand/accent color |
$statusError |
Error states |
$statusSuccess |
Success states |
Typography Tokens
<Text fontSize="$lg" fontWeight="$semibold" />
| Token | Size |
|---|---|
$xs |
12px |
$sm |
14px |
$md |
16px |
$lg |
18px |
$xl |
20px |
$2xl |
24px |
Core Components
Box
Base layout component with token support:
<Box
padding="$4"
backgroundColor="$backgroundPrimary"
borderRadius="$lg"
>
{children}
</Box>
HStack / VStack
Horizontal and vertical flex layouts:
<HStack gap="$3" alignItems="center">
<Icon name="user" />
<Text>Username</Text>
</HStack>
<VStack gap="$4" padding="$4">
<Heading>Title</Heading>
<Text>Content</Text>
</VStack>
Text
Typography with token support:
<Text
fontSize="$lg"
fontWeight="$semibold"
color="$textPrimary"
>
Hello World
</Text>
Button
Interactive button with variants:
<Button
onPress={handlePress}
variant="solid"
size="md"
isLoading={loading}
isDisabled={disabled}
>
Click Me
</Button>
| Variant | Use For |
|---|---|
solid |
Primary actions |
outline |
Secondary actions |
ghost |
Tertiary/subtle actions |
link |
Inline actions |
Input
Form input with validation:
<Input
value={value}
onChangeText={setValue}
placeholder="Enter text"
error={touched ? errors.field : undefined}
label="Field Name"
/>
Card
Content container:
<Card padding="$4" gap="$3">
<CardHeader>
<Heading size="sm">Card Title</Heading>
</CardHeader>
<CardBody>
<Text>Card content</Text>
</CardBody>
</Card>
Layout Patterns
Screen Layout
const MyScreen = () => (
<Screen>
<ScreenHeader title="Page Title" />
<ScreenContent padding="$4">
{/* Content */}
</ScreenContent>
</Screen>
);
Form Layout
<VStack gap="$4" padding="$4">
<Input label="Name" {...nameProps} />
<Input label="Email" {...emailProps} />
<Button isLoading={loading}>Submit</Button>
</VStack>
List Item Layout
<HStack
padding="$4"
gap="$3"
alignItems="center"
borderBottomWidth={1}
borderColor="$borderLight"
>
<Avatar source={{ uri: imageUrl }} size="md" />
<VStack flex={1}>
<Text fontWeight="$semibold">{title}</Text>
<Text color="$textSecondary" fontSize="$sm">{subtitle}</Text>
</VStack>
<Icon name="chevron-right" color="$textTertiary" />
</HStack>
Anti-Patterns
// WRONG - Hard-coded values
<View style={{ padding: 16, backgroundColor: '#fff' }}>
// CORRECT - Design tokens
<Box padding="$4" backgroundColor="$backgroundPrimary">
// WRONG - Raw platform components
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
// CORRECT - Core components
import { Box, Text } from 'components/core';
// WRONG - Inline styles
<Text style={{ fontSize: 18, fontWeight: '600' }}>
// CORRECT - Token props
<Text fontSize="$lg" fontWeight="$semibold">
Component Props Pattern
When creating components, use token-based props:
interface CardProps {
padding?: '$2' | '$4' | '$6';
variant?: 'elevated' | 'outlined' | 'filled';
children: React.ReactNode;
}
const Card = ({ padding = '$4', variant = 'elevated', children }: CardProps) => (
<Box
padding={padding}
backgroundColor="$backgroundPrimary"
borderRadius="$lg"
{...variantStyles[variant]}
>
{children}
</Box>
);

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
verl-rl-training
Provides guidance for training LLMs with reinforcement learning using verl (Volcano Engine RL). Use when implementing RLHF, GRPO, PPO, or other RL algorithms for LLM post-training at scale with flexible infrastructure backends.
openrlhf-training
High-performance RLHF framework with Ray+vLLM acceleration. Use for PPO, GRPO, RLOO, DPO training of large models (7B-70B+). Built on Ray, vLLM, ZeRO-3. 2× faster than DeepSpeedChat with distributed architecture and GPU resource sharing.
gguf-quantization
GGUF format and llama.cpp quantization for efficient CPU/GPU inference. Use when deploying models on consumer hardware, Apple Silicon, or when needing flexible quantization from 2-8 bit without GPU requirements.
Claude Code Guide
Master guide for using Claude Code effectively. Includes configuration templates, prompting strategies "Thinking" keywords, debugging techniques, and best practices for interacting with the agent.
qdrant-vector-search
High-performance vector similarity search engine for RAG and semantic search. Use when building production RAG systems requiring fast nearest neighbor search, hybrid search with filtering, or scalable vector storage with Rust-powered performance.
