Stream React Native

Stream React Native - skill router + execution flow

Rules: Read [`RULES.md`](RULES.md) once per session. Every non-negotiable React Native Chat, Video, and Feeds rule is stated there.

This file is the single entrypoint: intent classification, product selection, project detection, and module pointers for Stream Chat React Native, Stream Video React Native, and Stream Feeds React Native work.

Step 0: Intent classifier (mandatory first - never skip)

Before any tool call, decide the track from the user's input alone. Do not probe the filesystem first.

Signals -> track

Disambiguation flow

If the request is ambiguous between wiring code and reference lookup, ask one short question and wait:

Do you want me to wire this into the project, or just map the React Native SDK pattern and files?

If the user wants a new app but did not name Expo or RN CLI, default to Expo because it is the shortest successful path. Use RN CLI when the user asks for it or when native project constraints require it.

Product classifier (after track is known)

Identify the product from the user's input or detected packages. Tracks A, B, and D all need the product before continuing; Track C selects the matching reference pair.

If the request is ambiguous between products, ask one short question and wait:

Are you wiring Stream Chat (channels, messages), Stream Video (calls, livestream, audio rooms), or Stream Feeds (activity feed, timeline, comments, reactions, follows)? Or more than one in the same app?

Scope rejection

This skill bundles Chat, Video, and Feeds React Native. If the user asks for Stream Moderation review UI or another non-bundled Stream RN product, say:

The React Native skill currently bundles Chat, Video, and Feeds references. I can help with any combination of those here, or switch to live docs for other products.

Do not invent missing React Native Moderation API details from memory.

After classification

• Tracks A, B, D -> run Project signals, then continue in `builder.md` and `sdk.md`. Run `credentials.md` before writing Chat, Video, or Feeds connection code or creating requested demo data.
• Track M -> Read `migrate.md` first; it fetches the live upgrade guide before any edit. Run Project signals for lane / package-manager / New-Architecture detection, but skip credentials, provisioning, and the scaffold path - it edits an existing project.
• Track S -> Read `sendbird-migration.md` first; it detects the Sendbird integration shape (and the Expo-vs-bare flavor) before any edit. Run Project signals for lane / package-manager / New-Architecture detection, but do not enter Track A/B/D or any scaffold path - it re-implements an existing Sendbird integration in place.
• Track C -> skip credentials and project probes if the product + runtime are explicit. Only run a read-only probe if RN CLI vs Expo is ambiguous and the answer affects the guidance.

Step 0.5: Credentials, token, and demo data (tracks A, B, D only)

Use `credentials.md` once per session before writing code that connects to Stream Chat, Stream Video, or Stream Feeds.

It resolves:

• Stream API key
• user id and display name
• user token or token provider plan
• optional demo data, only when requested, via Stream CLI calls (Chat: UpdateUsers, GetOrCreateChannel, SendMessage; Video and Feeds do not require seed data because calls are ephemeral and activities can be posted at runtime)
