description	Plan and execute React Native or Expo SDK upgrades, dependency migrations, prebuild/bare compatibility checks, native module updates, and post-upgrade validation.

RN Upgrade

Use this skill when upgrading Expo SDK, React Native, React, EAS build configuration, native modules, config plugins, or resolving dependency drift after an upgrade.

Required Context

• Read specs/react-native-upgrade.md.
• Read rules/expo.md before changing Expo config or prebuild behavior.
• Use current official docs when target versions matter.

Workflow

1. Record current and target versions.
2. Identify breaking changes and native module compatibility risks.
3. Upgrade in one isolated commit or task.
4. Fix type/lint/test/build failures.
5. Validate simulator, development build, and EAS build as required.

Checks

• Lockfile changes are intentional.
• Config plugins match the target SDK.
• Native project changes are explainable.
• Rollback path is clear before release.
